Bessie. Medium-sized, skin thin, but tough 
and firm; juicy and fine-flavored. One of the 
most profitablcof the late sorts. Holds in perfec¬ 
tion until May. Tree vigorous and productive. 
Boone’sEarly. Medium size. Qualitygood. 
One of the most valuable extremely early 
varieties. Unlike most early varieties, it colors 
up as soon as ripe. 
Brazilian. A variety as yet comparatively 
little known by Florida orange-growers, but 
highly recommended for vigor and productive¬ 
ness. Fruit of very fine quality, and hangs 
upon the tree without deterioration until mid¬ 
summer. 
Centennial. Ripens early, but hangs on the 
tree well, and is of fine quality late in the 
season. Vigorous grower and prolific bearer. 
Drake Star. Size medium, round; skin 
smooth, thin and bright—said to be rust-proof. 
Quality good. Quite a favorite some years ago, 
but on Sour stock proved rather a shy bearer. 
We are propagating it on Rough Lemon and 
Citrus trifoliata , on which stocks nearly all 
varieties are good bearers. 
Dugat. This variety has been grown in 
southern Texas for several years, where it is 
highly esteemed as one of the hardiest varieties 
and of excellent quality. 
Du Roi. Medium - sized, slightly oblong, 
sometimes slightly ribbed ; fine-grained, with 
but few seeds. Quality good. 
Enterprise Seedless (Starke Seedless ). Size 
medium; quality fine; seedless, or nearly so. 
Tree vigorous and productive. Early.
