GLEN SAINT MARY NURSERIES 
Citrus Fruits 
ORANGES, continued 
Satsuma (Synonyms, Oonsbiu , Kii Seed¬ 
less). Of medium size ; flattened; loosely ad¬ 
hering rind and easily separated segments like 
all other varieties of the Mandarin (Citrus 
nobilis) group; the color is not red like King 
and Tangerine, but of a deeper yellow than 
Mandarin; flesh fine-grained, tender, juicy, 
sweet and delicious ; entirely seedless. Ripens 
in September, October and November. On 
account of its extreme earliness, good appear¬ 
ance and excellent quality, it brings a high price 
in market. Tree of somewhat smaller growth 
than other Oranges, and is of unique habit. 
Entirely thornless. Bears when very young. 
This is undoubtedly the hardiest known variety 
of edible Orange, and this, in connection with 
its early ripening and fine quality, makes it an 
exceedingly valuable sort. We are growing it 
largely in our own Orange groves at Glen Saint 
Mary, in northern Florida, and are probably 
the largest propagators of this variety in 
America. We can furnish the Satsuma on 
rough lemon and Citrus trifoliata , but do not 
grow it on sour stock. It succeeds much 
better on rough lemon stock than on sour, while 
on the entirely hardy Citrus trifoliata the in¬ 
herent hardiness of the Satsuma is still further 
enhanced. We nearly always have this variety 
in fruit in the nursery rows and can furnish 
trees of bearing size. 
Sweet Seville (Sanford’s). Size medium, 
round ; a good keeper and shipper ; sweetens 
first of the early kinds, and is known distinctly 
as a sweet Orange. Tree vigorous and prolific. 
Tangerine (Dancy’s). One of the well- 
known “kid-glove” Oranges ; belongs to the 
Mandarin family. Flat, small to medium; skin 
separates freely from the flesh ; juicy, aromatic 
and rich, of a deep red color. Particularly 
good grower and prolific. Fruit very handsome 
on the tree. December, January and February. 
Thomson’s Improved Navel. This variety 
has been attracting considerable attention in 
California, where it was originated. Fruit of 
medium size, rind very smooth and thin ; pulp 
juicy, sweet, and of firm texture ; splendid color 
and of excellent quality. Ripens early. Tree 
similar to Washington Navel. Should be 
planted in comparison. 
Valencia Late. A very late and very prolific 
variety of fine quality. Season May and June, 
but fruit will hang on trees till August or Sep¬ 
tember. Fruit of good size, somewhat flattened; 
juicy and tender. 
Washington Navel. Like other Navels, bears 
a peculiar umbilical formation on the summit 
or blossom end of the fruit; this protuberance 
is not so prominent as in some varieties of Navel 
Orange. The fruit is large to very large, some¬ 
what oval ; flesh meaty, tender, sweet and 
highly flavored ; an exceptionally luscious fruit, 
without perceptible membranes or fiber.

Golden Buckeye Navel. A recent California 
introduction, and is described as follows by 
the introducer: “The tree is a good grower, 
thornless. * * * A pronounced characteristic 
of the fruit, which makes it distinct from all 
other varieties of Navels, is a series of bands 
or ridges of a deeper orange color, which add 
much to the beauty. * * * Smooth and of a 
kid-glove texture. Flavor strongly aromatic, 
with a suggestion of pineapple to the taste ; 
pulp of fine texture, with but few segments, 
almost entirely free from rag. * * * Good 
keeper and shipper.” Ripens early ; seems to 
promise well, and to be worthy of careful trial 
in various sections. 
Golden Nugget Navel. A new California 
variety for which the introducer claims some 
very desirable features. Tree is described as 
of distinct habit, very symmetrical, and foliage 
exceptionally dark green ; thornless. Fruit very
