the cold snaps of December, January and February of the past season; and, although these Oranges are 
grown in a vicinity where much frost damage was done, they show no effect of frost whatever, being sound, 
solid and full of juice. I myself wish to get some of these Orange trees just the minute you are ready to put 
them on the market, as I wish to bud a considerable portion of my ‘Alabama’ grove into this variety, as 
in my opinion the Lue Gim Gong Oranges will give to Florida what California alone now enjoys, viz., an 
all-the-year-round Orange.” 
An extract from a personal letter from Mr. W. S. Hart. Hawks Park, Fla., sets forth his opinion of 
the Lue Gim Gong Orange. 
‘‘During the past two seasons, I have had some opportunity to study the peculiar merits of the Lue 
Gim Gong Orange, and I can honestly say that I have become convinced that it is the most promising money- 
producing proposition for the citrus-grower now in sight.” 
Mr. H. B. Stevens, General Manager of the John B. Stetson Estate, De Land, Fla., one of Florida’s 
most noted citrus-growers, writes as follows: 
‘‘You ask what I know of the Lue Gim Gong Orange. In reply, will say that I had my attention 
called to it several years ago, and have watched it quite closely ever since. Have come to this conclusion: 
that it stands more cold, both as a tree and as to the fruit, than any other Orange I have had any experience 
with. I have noticed that the fruit on the side budded to that variety stands more cold than the Hart’s 
Late budded on the opposite side of the same stump. It holds its juice late in the season better than any 
other Orange I know of, and bears well. Cannot see that the fruit remaining on the tree as late as it does 
seems to affect the amount of crop the next year. Taking it altogether, I think it promises to be one of the 
very best varieties we can have. 
Col. G. B. Brackett, Pomologist, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., says: 
‘‘I have examined the specimens carefully, and upon their merits I have given my approval for awarding 
the variety a Wilder Silver Medal, and have so informed the Secretary, Prof. John Craig. I am having a 
painting made of the variety for placing on file here. This is a rare good Orange, and I am glad you are 
taking an interest in it. . . . This fruit is worthy, and I am glad to recognize its value by medal award.” 
It is in reality a very late Orange for one year, or a very early Orange for the next crop.

Wilder Medal. The most noted horticultural organization in the country today, as it has been for the 
past sixty-seven years, is the American Pomological Society. This society, recognizing the merits of the 
Lue Gim Gong Orange, awarded a Wilder Silver Medal to this variety. We believe this is the first time 
a Wilder Medal has been awarded for a new variety of Orange since the society was organized, and gives 
a fair idea of the estimation in which this fruit is held by experts.
