Citrus Fruits 
ber and November. On account of its extreme 
earliness, good appearance and excellent 
quality, it brings a high price in market. Tree 
of somewhat smaller growth than other Oranges, 
and is of unique habit. Entirely thornless. 
Bears when very young. This is undoubtedly 
the hardiest known variety of edible Orange, 
and this, in connection with its early ripening 
and fine quality, makes it an exceedingly valu¬ 
able sort. We are growing it largely in our own 
Orange groves at Glen Saint Mary, in northern 
Florida, and are probably the largest propaga¬ 
tors of this variety in America. We can furnish 
the Satsuma on rough lemon and Citrus tri- 
foliata , but do not grow it on sour stock. It 
succeeds much belter on rough lemon stock 
than on sour, while on the entirely hardy Citrus 
trifolicita the inherent hardiness of the Satsuma 
is still further enhanced. (We nearly always have 
this variety in fruit in the nursery rows and can 
furnish trees of bearing size.) 
Surprise Navel. Originated by Mr. E. S. Hub¬ 
bard, of Federal Point, Fla. Size medium; 
navel mark small, but very distinctive. Very 
heavy, smooth, thin-skinned, and nearly seed¬ 
less. Quality good. Ripens early. Claimed to 
be a heavy bearer, even when budded on sour 
stock, and is believed to be quite an acquisition 
to the list of Oranges; worthy of careful trial. 
Sweet Seville (Sanford’s). Size medium; 
round ; a good keeper and shipper; sweetens 
first of the early kinds, and is known distinctly 
as a sweet Orange. Tree vigorous and prolific. 
Tangerine (Dancy’s). One of the well-known 
‘ ‘ kid-glove ’ ’ Oranges ; belongs to the Mandarin 
family. Flat, small to medium ; skin separates 
freely from the flesh ; juicy, aromatic and rich 
of a deep red color. Particularly good grower 
and prolific. Fruit very handsome on the tree. 
December, January and February. 
Thomson Improved Navel. This variety has 
been attracting considerable attention in Cali¬ 
fornia, where it was originated. Fruit of medium 
size, rind very smooth and thin ; pulp juicy, 
sweet, and of firm texture ; splendid color and 
of excellent quality. Ripens early. Tree similar 
to Washington Navel. 
Valencia Late. A very late and very prolific 
variety of fine quality. Season May and June, 
but fruit will hang on trees till August or Sep¬ 
tember. Fruit of good size, oval or rounded in 
shape, juicy and tender. 
Washington Navel. Like other Navels, bears 
a peculiar umbilical formation on the summit 
or blossom end of the fruit; this protuberance 
is not so prominent as in some varieties of Navel 
Orange. The fruit is large to very large, some¬ 
what oval; flesh meaty, tender, sweet and 
highly flavored ; an exceptionally luscious fruit. 
Kumquats Packed for Shipment 
KUMQUAT 
The Kumquat (Citrus Jafionica) is the smallest of the citrus fruits and has not heretofore been 
planted very extensively for commercial purposes in this country. It is supposed to have origi¬ 
nated in Cochin China, and is quite extensively grown at the present time in Japan also in the 
districts of Fu-chau, Chusan, and Ningpo, China. In Japan it is called Kin-kan, which means 
Gold Orange ; Kumquat is Chinese for the same meaning.
