CITRUS Trifoliata. In the more northern orange-growing sections, where Jack Frost 
occasionally makes raids, it is necessary to take all possible precautions against his ravages. One 
way of doing this is to plant trees budded upon Citrus trifoliata stock. The Citrus trifoliata is 
entirely hardy as far north as Washington, D. C., and all varieties of Citrus, when budded upon 
it, will stand more cold than upon any other stock. All varieties budded on it come into bear¬ 
ing at an extremely early age, and the fruit ripens up one to three weeks earlier in the season 
than the same variety on other stocks. 
On account of its having been extensively used as a stock for trees grown in pots and tubs 
— for which it is particularly adapted—many people think that trees budded on it are very much 
dwarfed and slow of growth, but this is erroneous. In our test orchard, comprising some twenty 
odd varieties of Citrus — four trees of each, two on Sour and two on Citrus trifoliata , planted 
alternately—it would be practically impossible for any one not familiar with the arrangement to 
pick out trees of some varieties on Citrus trifoliata from those on Sour, while all of the trees on 
Citrus trifoliata have made good growth. 
As a hedge-plant, its vigor, hardiness and resistant qualities and stout, sharp thorns, make 
it especially valuable. It forms an impenetrable barrier to man and beast, and with proper care 
can be made rabbit-proof. 
PEACHES 
The Peach is a standard fruit, one for which there is a market demand that is probably 
equaled by only one or two other fruits. A very rare occurrence, indeed, that a person is found 
who does not relish it either for eating out of hand or served in some of the numerous ways 
in which it is capable of being made palatable. 
It is one of the quickest of horticultural products to bring results. Trees planted during 
the winter months should commence bearing a year from the following spring or summer, ac¬ 
cording to time of ripening of varieties planted. 
Few fruits can be successfully grown under such varying conditions of climate and soil. 
With the proper selection of varieties, Peaches can be grown from within a few hundred miles 
of the northern boundary of the United States to South Florida and similar latitudes; in fact, 
even in the tropics, for we know of orchards in the West Indies consisting of Waldo, Jewel, 
Angel and other varieties of the Peen-to strain that have given excellent results. But it is in the 
cotton belt of the southern states and reaching down to central peninsular Florida that Peach¬ 
growing is most extensively and profitably carried on. 
The expense of planting and caring for a Peach orchard is small as compared with many 
other fruits. Prices for trees are low, and the preparation of the land does not necessarily have 
to be as thorough as for many other fruits. The trees are easy to make live if first-class stock 
is planted. 
Nothing is more disappointing to the orchardist than to plant a block of trees, bring them 
into bearing, and then find that they are not true to name. We take especial pains to send out 
all Peaches true to name. 
In planting Peaches, it must be borne in mind that it is of utmost importance that proper 
varieties are selected for the particular section in which they are to be grown. While a few 
varieties can be successfully grown over a more or less widely extended area, most varieties are 
limited in their range of adaptability.
