Trees on Citrus trifoliata Stock 
Citrus trifoliata is the hardiest species of Citrus known in this country. It is deciduous, grows 
well in the open ground as far north as Washington, D. C., and withstands temperatures of 15 0 
below zero and lower. 
It has become of great importance as a stock for Citrus trees of all kinds. Varieties budded 
on it are made hardier because of its dormant and hardy character, and the fruit is of exceedingly 
fine quality, ripening two or three weeks earlier than if budded on other stocks. It has been claimed 
that it dwarfs the trees budded upon it, but the tests of years in our test-groves have not proven 
this to be so except in the case of a few varieties. For the Satsuma Orange, it is the only stock to use. 
Citrus trifoliata is adapted for planting on alluvial lands, clay lands, soils underlaid with clay 
and those which naturally contain plenty of moisture or to which water can be applied by irriga¬ 
tion. It should not be planted on high, dry, sandy lands lacking in moisture. On such soils it is 
a failure. 
Seedlings can be used as a hedge, and it forms an impenetrable barrier to man or beast, and, 
with proper care, can be made rabbit-proof.

quality. One of the most valuable extremely 
early varieties. Unlike most early varieties, it 
colors up as soon as ripe. 
Carleton. Round or somewhat oval, with 
smooth, bright skin; juicy and of high quality. 
Early, seedless. Originated in the grove of Mr. 
Albert Carleton, Wauchula, Fla., from whom we 
secured our original buds. 
Dugat. This variety has been grown in 
southern Texas for several years, where it is 
highly esteemed as one of the hardiest varieties 
and of excellent quality. 
Double Imperial Navel. A medium-sized, 
round Navel Orange, with smooth, bright golden 
yellow skin; juicy and of excellent quality. It 
usually has a few seeds, 4 to 6. This variety has 
fruited so well on Citrus trifoliata stock that we 
have decided to propagate it on this stock. It 
has proven very hardy. Ripens in November.
