Citrus I’Vuits 
Foster Grapefruit (The Pink Grapefruit) 
'I'his variety of Grapefruit orip:inate{i a number of years ago, as a bud sj)ort on a tree of Walter’s 
Grapefruit near Bradentown, I'da., and was introduced by Mr. E. X. Keasoner, Oneco, Fla., in-. 
We have had this variety in fruit in our test-grove for a number of years and arc very favorably 
im[)ressed with its (juality and general excellence. 'I'he llesh is purplish pink in color and in cjuality 
it ranks as one of the best of the Gra{)efruits. d'he outstanding feature of this variety is the very 
excellent (piality it develoj)s early in the season, and we class it as one of the best, if not the very best, 
early (Grapefruit that we know of. It is well worthy of extended trial. 
Mandarin Orange 
1 heMandarin or China Mandarin Orange is an old sort. It has distinct value as an ornamental 
tree and in some sections, notably in southern Louisiana, it is given {)refercnce in commercial plantings. 
Years ago we used to grow this variety in considerable cpiantity; then dropped it from our lists. Re¬ 
cently we have had so many inquiries for it that we are again growing a few trees of it. 
1 he fruit is of medium size, flattened, deep yellow, witli thin skin and loosely adhering segments 
1 he flesh is (lark orange-yellow, spicy, and of good quality. 
1 he foliage is fine and small, and the growth willow)', combining to make it a very beautiful tree. 
Thornton Tangelo 
As its name indicates, this citrus fruit is the result of a cross between the Tangerine orange and 
the Pomelo or grapefruit. It originated a number of years ago as the result of a cross made by Messrs. 
Swingle and \\ ebber of the U. .S. Department of .Agriculture. In habit of growth it is similar to the 
grapefruit, but the skin is easily removed from the flesh; in this parti('ular it is like the tangerine. 
I he fruit is smaller in size than most grapefruit (which, in general, it resembles). 'I'lic flavor is very 
agreeable, a new combination of flavors, as might be ex])ected from its origin. It is well worthy of 
a j)lace in the home grove.
