Citrus Fruits 
ORANGES, continued 
smooth, solid and thin-skinned; very much 
more so than Washington Navel, even at its 
best; of fine texture ; color a strong gold ; shape 
rather oblong, good size ; fruit exceptionally 
free from rag and is seedless ; flavor delicious; 
bears young, generally second year from plant¬ 
ing. A good shipper and keeper. Ripens early 
and ought to become valuable. 
Navelencia. A comparatively new variety 
of California origin. Said to be a cross be¬ 
tween Thomson’s Improved Navel and Valen¬ 
cia Late, combining the good qualities of the 
former and lateness of the latter. Ripens 30 
to 60 days later than Washington Navel. Tree 
of good growth, small thorns, full, well-rounded 
top. Fruit good-sized, smooth and thin-skinned, 
and of fine quality ; gives promise of being a 
valuable acquisition. 
Surprise Navel. Originated by Mr. E. S. 
Hubbard, of Federal Point, Fla. Size medium; 
navel mark small, but very distinctive. Very 
heavy, smooth, thin-skinned, and nearly seed¬ 
less. Quality good. Ripens early. Claimed 
to be a heavy bearer, even when budded on 
sour stock, and is believed to be quite an 
acquisition to the list of Oranges ; worthy of 
careful trial. 
Nagami Kumquats 
KUMQUAT 
I his is the smallest of the citrus fruits and has not heietofore been planted very extensively 
for commercial purposes in this country. It is supposed to have originated in Cochin China, and 
is quite extensively grown at the present time in Japan, also in the districts of Fu-chau, Chusan, 
and Ningpo, China. In Japan it is called Kin-kan, which means Gold Orange ; Kumquat is 
Chinese for the same meaning. Botanists now know it as Citrus Japonica , although it has in the 
past been listed under various names by horticultural writers. 
The tree attains a height of 10 to 12 feet, with a spread of top nearly equal to the height. 
It is very symmetrical in growth and produces an abundance of handsome little fruits annually. 
The blossoms come during the summer and the fruit ripens during the late fall and winter. 
This fruit has been introduced in a limited way, in the markets of this country and, where 
properly handled, has brought very fancy prices. On our own shipments we have obtained from
