Citrus Fruits 
POMELO. Grapefruit 
While many varieties of Pomelos have been named and introduced, we are listing only a few of 
those which experience has proved to be the most valuable for general planting. Duncan is, in 
our experience, the hardiest of all, and it will stand as much cold as the hardiest of the sweet oranges. 
At Glen Saint Mary we have fruited Duncan successfully for years. Along the Gulf Coast it has given 
an excellent account of itself, and 
we are propagating it largely on 
Citrus trifohata stock. It is a good 
grower on this stock, and the fruit 
sells well. It is a large, smooth, 
bright fruit, and in quality one of the 
very best. The parent tree has a won¬ 
derful fruiting record. Marsh Seed¬ 
less is a good variety for general 
planting. It is not so strongly 
Pomelo-flavored as some others, but 
is highly regarded by many because 
^ of its being nearly or quite seed- 
less. The tree is low and spread- 
ing; often the distance across 
the branches is greater than the 
height. McCarty, a new late 
variety introduced by us a few sea¬ 
sons ago, is noteworthy because of its 
exceptional quality, the fruit being 
smooth and velvety, but the strong 
point in its favor is that it is borne 
scattered over the tree and not in 
bunches. Triumph is valuable as 
an early fruit, and for home use. 
Hall's Silver Cluster is a good va¬ 
riety, but bears its fruit in large 
bunches, and the fruits are un¬ 
shapely in consequence. It is not 
so hardy as Duncan. Walters is a 
Duncan Pomelo late variety, a favorite with planters 
in some sections.

Duncan. Of large size; peel tough and smooth; 
quality very best; regular old-fashioned Grape¬ 
fruit flavor. Strong grower and regular and pro¬ 
lific bearer. One of the finest, also one of the 
hardiest varieties. Hangs on trees until late spring 
or early summer. 
Hall (Hall’s Silver Cluster). Medium to large, 
nearly round. Heavy bearer, large bunches. 
Marsh Seedless. Large, slightly flattened; 
skin smooth; heavy, juicy, and of excellent 
quality. Nominally seedless. Desirable. 
Triumph. Medium size; skin smooth; heavy, 
juicy, well-flavored; less bitter than some others. 
A strong grower; prolific. This is the earliest 
variety of Grapefruit we have, and for home use 
and for some markets it is excellent. It cannot 
be recommended for planting in the colder 
sections, as the tree is tender.
