Citrus Fruits 
ORANGES, continued 
Maltese Blood. Fruit medium in size, 
round or slightly oblong ; skin very smooth, thin 
and tough ; very juicy, sweet and sprightly ; 
good in December, but better in April ; good 
shipper. Tree prolific and vigorous, practically 
thornless ; 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 
yellow ; skin thin ; segments loosely adherent ; 
flesh dark orange-yellow, spicy and aromatic. 
Although largely superseded in Florida by 
King, Satsuma and Tangerine, which, like 
Mandarin, belong to Citrus nobilis type, 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. Late ripen¬ 
ing sort. One of the best of General Sanford’s 
introductions. 
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 de¬ 
sirable early variety. 
Old Vini (Beach No. 4). S ize medium, 
slightly flattened; color dark orange; pulp melt¬ 
ing; juice subacid ; pleasant, sprightly quality. 
Oneco. Of full, medium size for the Man- 
darian type. The color of skin is red, like Tan¬ 
gerine,and it also possesses a decided Tangerine 
aroma. The 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 fine; qual¬ 
ity 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 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 unsur¬ 
passed. As the fruit ripens it 
usually becomes streaked or mot¬ 
tled with blood-red; often the 
entire pulp gets ruby-red, show¬ 
ing 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 esteem 
this one of the most valuable 
varieties for general planting.
