Citrus Fruits 
Pineapple Oranges ; a standard variety. 
in December, but better in April; good shipper. 
Tree prolific and vigorous ; practically thorn¬ 
less ; foliage distinct. 
Maltese Oval ( Garey’s Mediterranean Sweet). 
Fruit medium to large ; quality first-class ; ripens 
medium to late. Tree of distinct spreading 
growth, vigorous and prolific. 
Mandarin. Medium size, flattened; deep yel¬ 
low ; skin thin ; segments loosely adherent; 
flesh dark orange-yellow, spicy and aromatic. 
Although largely superseded in Florida by 
King, Satsuma and Tangerine, which like Man¬ 
darin, belong to the Citrus nobilis group, yet in 
southern Louisiana the Mandarin is still ad¬ 
hered to as one of the most profitable sorts. 
Mediterranean Sweet (Sanford’s). Large size; 
smooth rind. Quality good. Ripens late. One 
of the best of General Sanford’s introductions. 
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 of 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 ; gives promise of being a valuable 
acquisition. 
Nonpareil. Size medium to slightly larger, 
somewhat flattened; grain fine, pulp melting 
and tender; juice subacid and vinous; quality 
best. Tree vigorous and prolific. A very desir¬ 
able early variety. 
Old Vini (Beach No. 4). Size medium, slightly 
flattened; color dark orange ; pulp melting; 
juice subacid ; pleasant sprigntly quality. 
Oneco. Of full, medium size for the Mandarin 
type. The color of skin is red, like Tangerine, 
and it also possesses a decided Tangerine 
aroma. The fruit is of good quality and reminds 
one of Satsuma, Tangerine and King blended. 
Paper Rind (St. Michael). Fruit medium size, 
round ; quality good ; productive. Tree a vig¬ 
orous grower. 
Parson Brown. Size medium, round or slightly 
oblong; peel smooth, texture fine ; quality 
good. Keeps and ships well. One of the best 
of the early varieties. Begins to ripen in Oct. 
Pineapple. A most excellent variety intro¬ 
duced 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, upright 
grower ; prolific. Fruit medium to large ; peel 
thin but tough, very smooth and bright; heavy, 
juicy and of excellent quality. We consider 
this one of the best round Oranges and recom¬ 
mend 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. We es¬ 
teem this one of the most valuab'e varieties for 
general planting. See illustration, page 3. 
St. Michael Blood. One of the best of the 
Blood Oranges. Fruit medium size, almost 
round, with thin but tough skin ; pulp juicy, 
melting, rich and of exquisite flavor, being un¬ 
surpassed in quality. Usually the fruit becomes 
mottled or streaked with blood-red as it ripens, 
the pulp often a beautiful, rich ruby-red, show¬ 
ing through the peel in a reddish blush. Is a 
regular bearer, vigorous and nearly thornless. 
Satsuma (Synonyms, Oonshiu , Kii Seedless). 
Of medium size; flattened; loosely adhering 
rind and easily separated segments like all other 
varieties of the Mandarin {Citrus nobilis) group ; 
the color is not red like King and Tangerine, 
but of a deeper yellow than Mandarin ; flesh 
fine-grained, tender, juicy, sweet and delicious ; 
entirely seedless. Ripens in September, Octo- 
6
