Citrus Fruits 
thin but very tough; pulp melting, rich, juicy 
and of exquisite flavor; quality unsurpassed. 
As the fruit ripens it usually becomes streaked 
or mottled with blood-red; often the entire 
pulp gets ruby-red, showing through the peel in 
a reddish blush on the outside. Ruby is the 
best of the blood Oranges, and its eating quality 
is good before the markings show. The tree is 
vigorous, nearly thornless, and a regular bearer. 
We esteem this one of the most valuable varie¬ 
ties for general planting. 
Tangerine (Dancy’s). One of the well-known 
“kid-glove” Oranges; belongs to the Mandarin 
group. Flat, small to medium; skin separates 
freely from the flesh; juicy, aromatic, and rich; 
of a deep red color. This tree is a particularly 
good grower and very prolific. December, Jan¬ 
uary and February. 
Valencia Late. A very late and very prolific 
variety of fine quality. Season May and June, 
but fruit will sometimes hang on trees till 
August or September. Fruit of good size, oval 
or rounded in shape; 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. 
The Satsuma Orange 
The Satsuma is undoubtedly the hardiest known variety of edible Orange, and this in connec¬ 
tion with its early ripening and fine quality makes it an exceedingly valuable sort. The trees are 
drooping and spreading in habit, thornless, and bear when very young. The fruit is of medium size, 
flattened; rind and flesh segments loosely adhering like all varieties of the Mandarin (Citrus 
nobilis) group; color deep orange; flesh fine grained, tender, juicy, sweet and delicious; entirely seed¬ 
less. Ripens in September, October and November. 
We are growing Satsuma largely at Glen Saint Mary in North Florida, in our orchards, and are 
the largest propagators of this variety in America. When budded on Citrus trifoliata stock it is the 
best variety for general planting throughout northern Florida and the Gulf Coast Orange region.
