CITRUS FRUITS 
(ORANGES, KINKANS, LEMONS, ETC.) 
After many years’ test, we can unhesitatingly recom¬ 
mend Citrus Fruits budded upon Citrus trifoliata 
(Hardy Orange), this stock being particularly de¬ 
sirable for the colder sections of the Orange belt, and 
all varieties of Citrus budded upon it will stand more 
frost than when budded upon any other stock. Varie¬ 
ties budded on it bear at an early age, and trees grow 
off as rapidly as those budded upon sour orange or 
rough lemon stocks, when planted in open ground. 
The fruit also ripens earlier than the same variety 
grown on other stocks. These plants are most de¬ 
sirable for growing in tubs in greenhouses and con¬ 
servatories. The increasing demand for our plants 
speaks for itself. All plants are shipped with a ball 
of earth about the roots. For distant shipments the 
plants should be defoliated. In this manner the growth 
of the plant is not checked.

Greenhouse Department 
The great increase in the demand for palms, azaleas, camellias and hardy ornamental shrubs and plants in 
the past few years has thoroughly convinced us that this is “a day of specialties,” and therefore we have dis¬ 
continued growing a general line of bedding and greenhouse plants, such as geraniums, heliotropes, salvias, can- 
nas, etc. I he space heretofore occupied in our greenhouses by such plants is now devoted to producing a tew 
specialties, wihch are grown in immense quantities. The plants offered are in the best possible condition
