Pomelo. See page 38. 
Majorca. Medium ; round; rich, juicy and 
sweet; equals Jaffa in quality, its characteristics 
being similar to that variety. It is a good keeper and 
shipper. Tree a strong, bushy grower ; very robust; 
foliage very distinct, nearly thornless ; a fine bearer. 
Maltese Oval. Medium sized ; peel smooth, thin 
and firm ; pulp melting ; quality best ; seedless. Tree 
thornless, prolific, and bears young; foliage distinct. 
This variety closely resembles Garey’s Mediterra¬ 
nean Sweet ; the fruit is indistinguishable from the 
latter, but the tree, while of similar habit, is a much 
better grower. 
Nonpareil. Size, medium to slightly larger, some¬ 
what flattened; grain fine; pulp melting and tender ; 
juice subacid and vinous ; quality best. Tree vigor¬ 
ous and prolific. One of the most desirable of the 
earlier varieties. 
Parson Brown. Size medium ; round or slightly 
oblong; peel smooth, texture fine; quality good. 
Keeps and ships well. By many considered the best 
of the early varieties. It begins to ripen in October. 
Ruby. Medium sized, nearly round : skin thin 
but very tough ; pulp melting, rich, juicy and of ex¬ 
quisite flavor; quality unsurpassed. As the fruit 
ripens it usually becomes streaked or mottled with 
blood red ; often the entire pulp gets ruby red, show¬ 
ing through the peel in a reddish blush on the outside. 
One of the best of the blood Oranges. The tree is 
vigorous, nearly thornless, and a regular bearer. 
Sanford’s Sweet Seville. Small to medium ; 
round ; a good keeper and shipper ; sweetens first of 
the early kinds; the best of the very early varieties. 
Tree vigorous and prolific. Possesses the same charac¬ 
teristics as the Early Oblong, but is of rather better 
quality, and yields usually a third more fruit.
