Satsuma Oranges 
ORANGES, continued 
MEDITERRANEAN SWEET (Sanford’s). One 
of the best and most profitable Oranges. Orio;i- 
nated from Gen. Sanford’s importations. Tree 
a good grower and bears young. 
NAVELENCIA. A comparatively new variety 
of California origin. Said to be a cross between 
Thomson’s Improved Navel and Valencia Late, 
combining the good qualities of the former and 
lateness from the latter. Ripens 30 to 60 days 
later than Washington Navel, Tree of good 
growth, small thorns, full, well-rounded top. 
Fruit good-sized, smooth and thin-skinned, and 
of fine quality. 
NONPAREIL. Size medium to slightly larger, 
somewhat flattened ; grain fine ; pulp melting 
and tender; juice subacid and \'inous ; quality

sirable early variety.

ing ; juice subacid and pleasant, sprightly 
quality. 
ONEGO. Of full, medium size for the Man¬ 
darin type. The color of skin is red, like Tan¬ 
gerine, and it also possesses a decided Tangerine 
aroma. 'I'he fruit is of good quality and re¬ 
minds one of Satsuma, Tangerine and King 
blended. 
PAPER RIND (St. Michael). Fruit medium 
size, round ; quality good; productive. Tree a 
vigorous grower. 
PARSON BROWN. Size medium, round or 
slightly oblong; peel smooth, texture tine ; 
cpiality good. Keeps and ships well. One of 
the best of the early varieties. Begins to ripen 
in October. 
PINEAPPLE. A most excellent variety, in¬ 
troduced some years ago from the Orange lake 
region of Florida. It has, during recent years, 
attained, and very justly so, a great amount of 
prominence. The tree is a very strong, up¬ 
right grower ; prolific. Fruit medium to large; 
peel thin but tough, very smooth and bright; 
heavy, juicy and of excellent quality. We con¬ 
sider this one of the best round Oranges and 
recommend it as one of the most profitable 
sorts for extensive planting. 
RUBY. Medium-sized, nearly round ; skin 
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. One of the best 
of the Blood Oranges. The tree is vigorous, 
nearly thornless, and a regular bearer. ^ XVe 
esteem this one of the most valuable varieties 
for general planting.
