Citrus Fruits 
KUMQUATS, continued 
We are the largest growers and shippers of this fruit in the country, having marketed from 
four to six hundred bushels of fruit annually for several years past. The crop has netted from $2.50 
to $3.25 per bushel, sometimes selling as high as $6 to $10 per bushel. We have found it a profitable 
fruit to grow, as the trees yield well and can be planted close together. When gathering the fruit we 
always cut the fruit from the trees with twigs and leaves attached, and pack a goodly proportion 
of leaves with the fruit. They are packed in quart baskets and shipped in strawberry crates. The 
fruit always sells better with foliage attached. This is an advantage as the leaves help to fill up the 
baskets, and make a larger bulk than if the fruit alone were packed. The fruit is largely used for table 
decorations, and is in largest demand for Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday trade. Very appetizing 
jelly and marmalade may be made from the fruit, and it can also be crystallized and preserved whole.

Nagami. Fruit oblong, about i l /2 to 2 inches 
in length and 1 inch in diameter; fruit golden 
yellow; rind sweet; pulp and juice sprightly, of 
fine flavor. Tree forms a nice head and grows 
quite symmetrically, a little more open than 
Marumi but still compact. Leaves are a trifle 
larger than those of Marumi. 
LEMONS 
The Lemon is the most valuable of the acid citrus fruits, and it is probably used in more different 
ways than any of its relatives. The very high prices secured for Lemons raises the question, “Why 
should not more Lemons be grown 
for home and local consumption in 
the southeastern citrus belt." 
While not so hardy as the orange 
and pomelo, yet Lemons can be 
grown over a wide range of territory. 
Even in north Florida we have often 
been able to produce more fruit than 
we could use. Certainly no collection 
of citrus fruits for home use in the 
citrus belt is complete without a few 
Lemons, and in sections most immune 
from cold this fruit may be grown in 
quantity. 
In point of hardiness there is 
little difference between Villa Franca 
and Kenedy, though the former is 
probably the hardier of the two. 
Kenedy has, however, been fruited 
at Sarita, Texas, for many years past. 
For the greater part of the citrus belt, 
as a rule, Lemons should be on 
sour orange stock, but in the colder 
sections Citrus trifoliata stock should 
be used.
