Washington Navel. Like other Navels, bears a 
peculiar umbilical formation on the summit or blos¬ 
som end of the fruit ; this protuberance is not as 
prominent as in some varieties of navel Orange. The 
fruit is large to very large ; somewhat oval ; flesh 
meaty, tender, sweet and high flavored ; an exception¬ 
ally luscious fruit without perceptible membranes or 
fiber in its interior make-up. Ranks first in quality. 
As usually grown, it is not a heavy bearer, but is said 
to yield full crops when grown upon trifoliata stocks. 
Stocks. 
The foregoing varieties are offered upon both sour orange and trifoliata stocks. 
Pomelos. 
[Grape Fruit.) 
One does not need an acquired taste to appreciate the delicous subacid and peculiar flavor of the Pomelo 
(or Grape Fruit, as it is commonly called). It is growing in favor as a dessert fruit; is already well-known in 
market, where it commands a high price, and the demand increases year by year. As it is a strong-growing, 
healthy and productive tree, its culture has proved very remunerative, and it is being extensively planted. 
A number of improved varieties have been introduced in recent years, which have a better structure as 
to seeds and fiber and less of the bitter principle than the ordinary seedling fruit, the latter constituting the 
bulk of the fruit now being sent to market. It is claimed as an advantage in some of these new sorts that 
they combine in their flavor the characteristics of the orange and Pomelo. This seems to us undesirable, as the 
result is a vapid nondescript, and what is sought in the Pomelo is its own peculiar qualities. We have 
selected the Triumph variety for propagation because, while unsurpassed among the improved kinds in thin¬ 
ness of peel, juiciness, delicacy of structure and absence of bitterness, it is a full-flavored Grape Fruit. 
Many prefer a very large fruit; to supply this trade, we grow the Josselyn, perhaps the best of the larger- 
fruited kinds. 
Josselyn. Size large; skin smooth; remarkably 
juicy, but slightly bitter ; hangs on the tree without 
deteriorating until July. Fruit borne in immense 
clusters. Very prolific. The original tree, a native 
seedling, netted its owner $60 in one season. 
Seedless. A new sort, widely advertised as the 
" Seedless Grape Fruit.” Claimed to be of superior 
quality, and having very few seeds. 
Triumph. Medium ; peel smooth, clear, thin and 
fine grained ; less “rag” than in most Grape Fruit, 
and fewer seeds ; very heavy ; juicy and well flavored. 
There is no bitter in the juice, flesh or membranes 
surrounding the cells and dividing the segements, and 
very little in the white, inner lining of the peel. Tree 
bears young, and is very prolific. One of the best of 
the imported varieties. 
Stocks. 
As a stock for the Grape Fruit, the trifoliata is especially well adapted, 
trifoliata and sour orange stocks. 
We can supply trees on both 
Lemons. 
" The severe freeze of January, 1886, clearly proved that the very best varieties of imported Lemons can 
be profitably grown in South Florida, and much attention is now given to this branch of citrus fruit.” While 
commercial Lemon culture is necessarily confined to the more southern regions of the citrus belt and excep¬ 
tionally favorable locations farther north in the same belt, it is altogether likely that upon the “hardy, 
dormant-in-winter” trifoliata stock it can be successfully grown, at least in an amateur way, and for home 
use, throughout a much wider range. 
After carefully considering the merits of the Villa Franca, Belair Premium and other leading varieties* 
we have selected for propagation Sanford’s Thornless Sicily, as being, all things considered, unsurpassed, 
and perhaps the best. 
Sanford’s Thornless Sicily. Medium ; of 
standard Lemon shape ; rind sweet; skin smooth, 
thin, tough and dense; membranes thin and small in 
quantity ; acid strong and of fine flavor ; quality best. 
Largely grown in California ; pronounced by a prom¬ 
inent agricultural chemist of that state, where exten¬ 
sive tests of the comparative merits of varieties have 
beeh made, superior to any variety he had seen, 
being richer in quality as well as quantity of acid. 
Equals the fruit imported from Sicily, when properly 
prepared for market. A fine grower, nearly thorn¬ 
less ; productive and bears young. 
Stocks . 
We grow trees on both trifoliata and sour orange stocks.
