FRUITS OF CALAMONDIN 
Oriental travelers will tell you 
that because of its rich flavor 
and abundance of juice it is 
one of the finest fruits in the 
world for beverage purposes. 
Hardiest and Juciest 
Calamondin. A beautiful densely-foliaged citrus vari¬ 
ety from the Philippines, probably the most resistant to 
cold of all edible citrus fruits. It bears great quantities 
of little highly-colored fruits, reddish-orange inside and 
out, with an excellent unique flavor and with more juice 
to the square inch than any other citrus fruit. The fruit 
keeps ripening for some months, not all at once. Delight¬ 
ful for beverage purposes and a splendid ornamental. 
8-inch pots, 12-15 inches, $1.50; 6-inch pots, $1.00. 
The Delicious Tangerines 
The Tangerines, or Mandarin Oranges as they are sometimes called, 
are characterized by their somewhat flattened shape, their loose skin 
which is easily peeled off, and by the way in which the sections of the 
fruit separate easily from one another. They are sweet, juicy, and have 
a delicious flavor of their own, and because they are so easy to eat 
’ and because the trees bear quickly and heavily, a tree or two in the 
home planting will mean pleasure for all the family.

Algerian. This splendid Tangerine is 
one of the most beautiful citrus trees in 
cultivation, with its dark green, glossy, 
compact head of foliage. The fruit is 
most attractive as well, being a rich deep 
reddish-orange in color, sweet and mild 
in flavor, and it is particularly valuable 
because it ripens early in the winter, 
several months earlier than Dancy. For 
the coastal area or for the hottest interior 
valleys Algerian will give splendid satis¬ 
faction. December to March. 
Dancy Tangerine. This is the leading 
commercial Tangerine and the most pop¬ 
ular of the Mandarin family, a medium 
to large fruit, intense orange red in color, 
firm in texture, flattened in shape, ex¬ 
ceedingly juicy and highly flavored. The 
tree is a strong grower and bears enorm¬ 
ous quantities of fruit. February to May. 
Satsuma (Owari). The hardiest orange 
that we grow, and for this reason can 
be planted where other citrus fruits will 
not succeed. It is also the earliest Tan¬ 
gerine to ripen, maturing long before 
Christmas, and its big, flat, loose-skinned 
deep orange fruits are sweet, tender and 
juicy. The tree is a dwarf, never more 
than 8 feet high, bearing while very 
young. November to April. 
Two New Tangerines 
Wase Satsuma. The Owari type of 
Satsuma described above has long been 
grown in this country, but only recently 
this new type, Wase, has been intro¬ 
duced from southern China. It is said 
to ripen two to four weeks earlier than 
the Owari and to have a larger fruit 
with less rag. In other respects it re¬ 
sembles Owari as described above. 2 
year trees only, $2.25 each. 
Ponkan. This Mandarin Orange, little 
known in this country, is esteemed as 
the finest citrus fruit grown in Southern 
China and Formosa. The fruit is large, 
loose-skinned, sweet and juicy, while 
the tree is semi-dwarf, moderately up¬ 
right, with abundant foliage which gives 
it a healthy and beautiful appearance. 
2 year trees only, $2.25 each. 
Willow-leaved Mandarin. In this vari¬ 
ety we have the most beautiful of all 
the citrus trees, with dense, dark green, 
willow-like foliage in a dense, symmetri¬ 
cal head. The medium-sized fruit is 
deep yellow, with very thin skin and a 
most delicious spicy aromatic flavor 
which is not excelled in any other Tan¬ 
gerine. January to May. 
Four Fruits On 1 Tree 
Combination Citrus. For planters who 
wish to have something unusual in their 
garden, we have budded into large trees 
of Eureka Lemon three other varieties of 
citrus—Washington Navel Orange, Val¬ 
encia Orange, and Marsh Seedless 
Grapefruit, and within two or three 
years after planting you may have sev¬ 
eral citrus fruits all on the same tree. 
Not only is it a useful tree for the small 
garden but it gives you something to 
show off and brag about when your 
Iowa friends visit you on a Sunday 
afternoon. $4.00 each. 
The Golden Fruits of the Sampson Tangelo Yield a Most Delicious Juice. 
Eustis Limequat 
Eustis Limequat. This is a cross between the Lime and the Kumquat 
and is one of the finest small citrus fruits for general planting. The 
fruit resembles a light yellow Lime and is thin-skinned, firm, very 
juicy, almost seedless and is delicious when used like the Lime, for 
beverage purposes. The tree is small, of rapid upright growth, pro¬ 
ducing fruit almost immediately after planting, and bearing exceed¬ 
ingly heavy crops, the arching branches being often so thickly hung 
with fruit that they bend over toward the ground. The fruit ripens 
through almost six months of the'year. Hardier than the Lime and is 
not damaged by temperatures as low as 20°. 1 year trees, $2.50 each. 
The Citron of Commerce 
Spadafore Citron. Most of the candied Citron Peel used in this 
country now comes from the Mediterranean region, but it might just 
as well be grown here in California, because the Citron grows well 
and produces heavy crops in this State, thriving wherever the Lemon 
does. This variety produces large oval, fragrant fruits in great abund¬ 
ance and is one of the finest of the Italian varieties. One year Citron 
trees, $2.00 each. 
Dwarf Oranges for Pot Plants 
Otaheite Orange. One of the finest of the citrus varieties for a 
small pot or tub plant either for outdoor or conservatory use is this 
dwarf Orange. It makes a spreading little plant with the character¬ 
istic handsome deep green citrus foliage, and bearing, even while 
very small, quantities of small 2-inch orange-yellow fruits, of no value 
to eat, but exceedingly ornamental. Quite hardy and will thrive in 
a comparatively small container for a long period of time. 5-gal. 
containers, $2.50; 6-inch pots, 85c; 4-inch pots, 50c. 
Other varieties of Citrus excellent for potted plants are Meyer Lemon 
(page 5) and Calamondin. at left.
