2-year grafts, 12 inches, bushy, 50 cts. each, $3.50 for

All our Citrus fruits are budded upon Citrus trifoliata. 
This stock being particularly desirable for the colder 
sections of the Orange Belt, many experienced orange- 
growers in Florida state that the Trifoliata stock does 
not materially dwarf the tree when planted in open 
ground; that the trees have a tendency to branch near 
the ground, thus making beautiful low-headed trees; 
that it increases the productiveness 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 desirable for greenhouse and con¬ 
servatory 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.
