TREES AND PLANTS 
Kinkan, or Kum Kwat Orances 
CITRUS TRIBE, 
(Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Pomelos) 
All pot-grown plants, and shipped with ball of earth.

$4 for 10; 2 years, 15 to 18 inches, beautiful plants, 
75 cents each, $6 for 10; 20 to 24 inches, fine,

All our Citrus fruits are budded upon Citrus tri- 
foliata. This stock being particularly desirable for 
the colder sections of the Orange Belt, many experi¬ 
enced orange-growers in Florida state that the Tri- 
foliata stock does not materially dwarf the tree when 
planted in open ground ; that the trees have a ten¬ 
dency to branch near the ground, thus making beau¬ 
tiful low-headed trees; that it increases the produc¬ 
tiveness and also advances the time of bearing, and 
can resist a lower degree of cold than when budded 
upon the sour stock. These plants are also most desir¬ 
able for greenhouse and conservatory cultivation. Our 
plants this year are the finest we have ever grown. 
They are stocky and well branched. They fruit when 
two years old. We can recommend these trees most 
highly.
