KUMQUAT, continued 
and while they do better on the 
Trifoliata with us, there are 
some sections in which the Tri¬ 
foliata is not desired and to 
which lemon stock seems to be 
admirably adapted. The Kum- 
quat grows well on botli stocks. 
Kiimquats are eaten whole, 
rind and all. Preserved in 
sugar or crystallized, they make 
a very handsome and delicious 
confection which is very agree¬ 
able to most palates. 
MARUMI, h'ruit round, about 
I inch in diameter, bright gold¬ 
en yellow. Rind sweet with a 
pleasant flavor, and pulp and 
juice sprightly ; quality very 
line. Tree forms a beautiful, 
well-rounded, symmetrical head 
even when quite young, and 
always retains this shape. 
Leaves of this variety are slightly 
smaller than of Nagami, and 
tree a little more compact. 
NAGAMI. I^ruit oblong, about 
lyi to 2 inches in length and 
I inch in diameter ; fruit golden 
yellow; rind sweet; pulp and 
juice sprightly, of fine flavor. 
Tree forms nice head and grows 
quite symmetrically; a little 
more open than the Marumi but 
still compact. Leaves are a trifle 
larger than the Marumi variety. 
CITRUS STOCKS 
Sour Orange. —The stock that has been used most extensively in I^lorida upon which to bud 
nearly all kinds of Citrus trees is the Sour Orange. It is especially adapted for this purpose, 
making strong, vigorous growth, and is, perhaps, the best all-round stock that has yet been used. 
Trees budded on it attain large size and are capable of bearing enormous crops of fruit. 
Rough Lemon. — In recent years the common Florida Rough Lemon has become very popu¬ 
lar as a stock for Citrus trees. It is probably adapted to a larger number of radically different 
soil conditions than any other stock. It grows well on land that is extremely dry and also on land 
that is extremely wet. We recommend trees upon this stock for South Florida, West Indies, 
Mexico and other sections exempt from frost. It is a rank grower, and trees budded on it are 
generally heavy bearers. 
Citrus Trifoliata. — In the more northern orange-growing sections, where Jack Frost
