Citrus Trees... 
The Piquant Limes 
Everybody recognizes the fact that limeade is one of the most delicious 
and refreshing of all drinks. Limes produce fruit quickly and bear heavy 
crops, but they are more susceptible to frost than other citrus fruits and 
should only be grown in the warmer sections of California. In colder 
sections the Eustis Limequat or Calamondin (see preceding page) should 
be planted and will serve all the purposes for which the Lime is used.

Bearss Seedless. This is a seedless 
torm of the famous Tahiti Lime and is 
the largest and finest of all, predominat¬ 
ing at the present time in both commer¬ 
cial and home plantings. It has all of 
the good qualities one could ask for in 
a Lime, producing heavy crops of beau¬ 
tiful, seedless, highly acid fruits with 
rich Lime flavor, ripening most of its 
fruit in the summer when Limes are 
most in demand. The tree is large and 
vigorous, almost thornless, and slightly 
hardier than the Mexican. 
Rangpur. A most unusual Indian Lime, 
orange-colored skin and flesh. For home 
use it is excellent as it is of splendid 
quality and flavor, while the good-sized 
tree bears enormous crops, presenting a 
beautiful appearance when loaded with 
its richly colored reddish-orange fruits. 
The hardiest of the highly acid Limes. 
Mexican. This old favorite Lime is 
still the best known variety in California. 
Its small, light green, oval fruit, strong¬ 
ly acid and richly flavored, is just the 
right size for one drink of ade. The semi¬ 
dwarf trees bear extremely heavy crops, 
ripening all through the year with the 
main crop in the spring. This variety 
and Bearss are the two commercial 
Limes. See illustration at bottom of page. 
Sweet Lime. The fruit of this variety 
has the characteristic Lime flavor, but 
the juice is so sweet that it may be 
taken without sugar. Large, yellow, very 
juicy fruits which look like a shortened 
lemon. A large, handsome tree which 
bears enormous crops of fruit, and is 
considerably hardier than either Bearss 
or Mexican. See illustration below. 
Above is shown a Washington Navel Orange Tree, 
typical of the three-year and four-year boxed trees, in 
all citrus varieties offered in this Catalog. You'll not 
have to wait for fruit when you plant this size.

Tangelos , the New Citrus Hybrids 
The Tangelos are citrus hybrids originated a few years ago by scien¬ 
tists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture by crossing the Tangerine and 
the Pomelo, producing a number of hybrids varying in characteristics, but 
all retaining the best qualities of their parents. They are easily grown; 
bear very heavy 
crops and 
are just

Sampson Tangelo. This is the best 
known of the Tangelos, and its golden- 
yellow, glossy skinned fruits are filled 
with a delicious orange-red juice which 
combines in a delightful way the bitter 
tang of the grapefruit and the sprightli¬ 
ness of the Tangerine. February to May. 
San Jacinto Tangelo. One of the larg¬ 
est of the Tangelos, its big, loose-skinned 
fruits being very juicy and tender, while 
its unique flavor makes it an excellent 
fruit with which to vary the monotony of 
grapefruit. February to May. 
as hardy as Oranges. 
Thornton Tangelo. The earliest of the 
Tangelos, leaning toward the Tangerine 
in characteristics. The irregular flattened 
fruits have the loose reddish-orange skin 
of the Tangerine, while the flavor is 
sweet and rich. December to March. 
Weldwa Tangelo. This is a Tan¬ 
gelo crossed back again on a Tan¬ 
gerine. The most distinctive char¬ 
acter about the fruit is the light 
pink color of the flesh, although it 
is also unique for the extreme earli¬ 
ness of its medium sized, bright 
yellow fruits. The flesh is extremely 
sweet and very pleasingly flavored. 
The tree is a strong grower and a 
very heavy bearer. November to 
January. 
Trees Already Bearing 
We call particular attention to the large Fruiting Size 
Citrus Trees which are priced with the other grades. 
These are three and four-year-old trees, with carefully 
trained heads, and most of them have already borne 
fruit. They are taken up in large boxes weighing 300 
to 400 pounds, so that all of the root system is intact, 
and we recommend them for planters who want imme¬ 
diate results both in appearance and in bearing quali¬ 
ties. The illustration above will give some idea of the 
average size and appearance of these boxed trees, and 
we invite inspection of them by planters who find it 
convenient to visit our display yards. In many citrus 
varieties we can supply larger and older trees than 
quoted in this Catalog and will gladly give full informa¬ 
tion as to size and price upon application.
