CITRUS FRUITS AND THEIR CULTURE 
By Prof. H. Harold Hume (until recently horticulturist of the Florida Experiment 
Station). A new book, containing 600 pages and nearly 200 illustrations. Made up 
of five parts. 
Part I contains twenty-five chapters, treating the botany and history, methods of 
originating new varieties, and rules for judging citrus fruits, also describing in 
detail practically all varieties now in cultivation. 
Part II contains fourteen chapters on propagation, stocks, soils, preparation of land 
for planting, methods of setting trees, cultivation, cover-crops, fertilization, irri¬ 
gation, frost-protection and marketing. 
Part III contains four chapters on insects and diseases, spraying, fumigating and 
other methods of control, giving formulas, etc. 
Part IV contains an index of American literature on citrus fruits. 
Part V. Two chapters,—one containing varietal lists of the several classes of citrus 
fruits; the other giving names and addresses of members of the National League 
of Commission Merchants of the United States. 
This work is eliciting a great deal of praise from the most successful growers of 
citrus fruits, on account of the thoroughly practical, comprehensive information it 
contains. It should be in the hands of every grower of citrus fruits. We can furnish 
it upon receipt of price—$2.50 postpaid.
