hue Gim Gong Orange, continued 
down to the roimclccl base. The color is a deep orange-red; skin smooth; sections ten or eleven in 
number; Hcsh deep orange, very juicy, and free from rag. The flavor is a rich blending of sweet and 
subacid and, when fully ripe, of delicious, unsurpassed (piality. It is nearly or cpiite seedless. The 
fruit is a good keeper and fine shipper and in itself is very hardy and resistant to cold. 
Lue Gim (iong trees arc hardy, thrifty growers. In our 
own groves and nurseries we have observed during sev¬ 
eral cold snaps that trees of this variety invariably 
suffer less injury than any other variety of round 
or sweet Orange. \\ ith us there is no (lucstion 
It that it is the hardiest of the sweet Orange 
j). 'I'his statement is amply borne out 
the observations of many growers 
under widely difTerent conditions. 
The tree is a good bearer, the equal, 
if not the superior of any late Orange 
hi this particular. It is a regular 
bearer, and this is very unusual, for 
in the case of most late varieties, if 
the Oranges are allowed to hang on 
the trees until late in the season, the 
croj) following will be light. It pro¬ 
duces a low, well-rounded head, 
rather than high and 
t, and is the thriftiest- 
variety of all the 
range trees we know.
