ORANGES 
W HEN thinking of subtropical and even tropical countries, the fruit that naturally sug¬ 
gests itself to one’s mind as being of greatest importance is the Orange. This is 
as it should be, for there is no other fruit grown in those climates so universally 
loved among all nations and all peoples. And what more pleasing sight than a grove of 
orange trees—naturally of symmetrical growth—with their dark glossy green foliage and golden 
yellow fruit! It is indeed inspiring, and especially so when one considers the financial as well 
as the artistic point of view. 
By years of research and actual testing of varieties, we have gotten together a collection 
embracing all the most valuable varieties, and have this season probably the finest stock of 
nursery trees in this country. 
TIME of Ripening will vary more or less with different conditions of soil, season, etc. 
The varieties listed may, however, be arranged with approximate correctness as follows: 
Very Early— Boone’s Early, Early Oblong, Satsuma, Sweet Seville. Early —Centennial, 
Enterprise Seedless, Nonpareil, Parson Brown. Medium —Du Roi, Homosassa, Jaffa, Madam 
Vinous, Magnum Bonum, Majorca, Maltese Blood, Mandarin, Old Vini, Oneco, Pineapple, 
Ruby, St. Michael’s Blood, Tangerine, Washington Navel. Late —Maltese Oval, Mediter¬ 
ranean Sweet, Paper Rind. Very Late — Bessie, Brazilian, Hart’s Late, Joppa Late, King, 
Valencia Late. Blood markings do not appear till late in the season. Some varieties possess 
the characteristic of hanging on the tree and improving in quality for some time after they first 
become marketable, and are good shippers late in season, as well as during the time indicated above. 
BESSIE. Medium-sized; skin thin, but tough 
and firm; juicy and fine-flavored. One of the 
most profitable of the late sorts. Holds in perfec¬ 
tion until May. Tree vigorous and productive. 
BOONE’S EARLY. Medium size; skin thin; 
pulp tender, with very little "rag” and few seeds. 
Quality excellent. Ripens very early, and is 
thoroughly colored up as soon as ripe. 
BRAZILIAN. A variety as yet comparatively 
little known by Florida orange-growers, but highly 
recommended for vigor and productiveness. Fruit 
of very fine quality, and hangs upon the tree with¬ 
out deterioration until midsummer. 
CENTENNIAL. This variety ripens early, but 
hangs on the tree well, and is of fine quality late 
in the season. Vigorous grower and prolific bearer. 
DUGAT. This variety has been grown in 
southern Texas for several years, where it is 
highly esteemed. By those who know it best it is 
claimed to be one of the hardiest varieties in ex¬ 
istence and of excellent quality. 
DU ROI. Medium-sized, slightly oblong, 
sometimes slightly ribbed; fine-grained, with but 
few seeds. Quality good.

EARLY OBLONG. Medium size, oblong; a 
good keeper and shipper; sweetens with the first 
very early kinds. Tree a good grower and bearer. 
ENTERPRISE SEEDLESS (Starke Seedless). 
Size medium; quality fine; seedless, or nearly so. 
Tree vigorous and productive. Early. 
HART’S LATE. Of medium size, round or 
slightly oval; smooth; very solid and heavy, the 
flesh being very firm; flavor, when ripe, brisk and 
racy; peel of lightish cast; few seeds. The tree 
is a very strong, spreading and vigorous grower, 
prolific; the foliage is distinct, having few thorns. 
Ripens in April ; hangs on the tree in good condi¬ 
tion until midsummer. One of the best late varieties. 
HOMOSASSA. Size about medium, round, 
somewhat flattened; very heavy; color bright; 
skin very smooth, thin, tough and dense; pulp 
fine, sweet and juicy; flavor full, vinous and 
sprightly; membranes covering segments of pulp 
thin and small in quantity; keeps and carries well. 
Quality best. Tree vigorous and prolific.
