CITRUS FRUITS 
Oranges, Kinkans, Lemons, Etc. 
After many years’ test, we can unhesitatingly recommend 
Citrus Fruits budded upon Citrus trifoliala (Hardy Orange), 
this stock being particularly desirable 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. 
Varieties 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 alsc 
ripens earlier than the same variety grown on other stocks. 
These plants are most desirable for growing in tubs in green¬ 
houses and conservatories. 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 is not checked.

Lemon, American Wonder, or Ponderosa. On own roots.

Greenhouse Department 
The increasing demand for hardy ornamental shrubs, plants, etc., in the past few years, has forced us to discontinue the grow¬ 
ing of a general line of greenhouse and bedding plants, such as geraniums, heliotropes, coleus, etc., and the space heretofore devoted 
to these plants in our greenhouse is now used for producing 
such plants as azaleas, camellias, palms, citrus fruits, etc., in 
large quantities. We offer herewith a small collection of green¬ 
house plants, but these will be found to be of superior Quality.
