favorite shipping variety. Medium size; smooth, 
glossy, heavy, juicy and well flavored. Keeps well.

middle of the summer when lemons are much in 
demand. Prune only enough to keep the tree

from sunburn. $2.50 each.

amazing size. The juice is excellent, and makes 
especially fine Lemon Pie. The trees are very 
ornamental and bear when very small. $2.50 each. 
Tangelo 
SAMPSON. A cross between the tangerine and 
grapefruit. In shape and color it resembles a Va¬ 
lencia orange, but with smoother skin. Its flavor

fast fruit; and the juice imparts a delightful 
flavor to mixed drinks. $2.50 each. 
Grapefruit

this tree is also very desirable as an ornamental.

and the tree is very dense and bushy. It makes 
a beautiful specimen. $2.50 each. 
Eustis Limequat

immediately after planting, the juice of 
which is very much like that of the lime.

aged by temperatures as low as 20 degrees.

New Robertson Navel Orange 
Plant patent No. 126 
Fruit- equal or superior to the finest Washington Navel in flavor, 
juice, color, size and tenderness. 
Early ripening, at least three weeks earlier than Washington Navel, 
fully sweet by Christmas. 
No J une drop. The early development of fruit makes them so large 
in June and July that they are not susceptible to extreme temperatures. 
Heavier bearing, because of exceptional development of fruit wood, 
and absence of drop. 
Briefly, above are the advantages of planting this wonderful new Rob¬ 
ertson Navel Orange both for home use and commercially. 
Thrifty one-year trees bearing plant patent tag No. 126. 
Each $3.00, ten for $27.50. 
Limes 
The juice of the Lime is prized through¬ 
out the world for cooling, refreshing drinks. 
It is preferred by many to the Lemon for 
this purpose, and there is nothing equal to 
Fresh home-grown Limes. They bear when 
small and produce such quantities of fruit 
that no home in California, wherever it 
will grow, should be without a continuous 
supply. Trees are a little more susceptible 
to frost than the lemon. 
MEXICAN. This bears extremely heavy crops 
of very acid, small greenish fruits. Most of those 
seen at soda fountains are of this variety. 
BEARSS (Seedless Tahiti) Favored in the 
tropics, this Lime is the finest grown. The fruits 
are large, lemon colored, yielding much more 
juice than others. The acid juice and rind have 
a rich Lime bouquet, imparting a most delicious 
flavor to your Bacardi, Rickey, limeade or punch. 
All points considered, it excells all Limes, and 
will soon be the most popular market variety. It 
has an added advantage of ripening in the sum¬ 
mer. 
Price, either variety, $2.75 each. 
Meyer Lemon 
This is a Dwarf Chinese Lemon, of decided 
value as an ornamental shrub or hedge, or as a 
small tree or pot plant, for their foliage, fra¬ 
grant blossoms and fruit. The fruits are full sized, 
of the very finest quality and are a beautiful 
deep golden color. They should be in every Cali¬ 
fornia Garden and may be grown in pots where 
citrus fruit cannot be grown out-of-doors. They 
are constantly in flower or fruit.
