Citrus and 
Subtropical Fruits 
• California is decidedly the home of the orange. It is grown commercially from 
San Diego to Oroville and from the coast to the foothills of the Sierras. 
Most of the citrus fruits can be grown in protected locations around the home, 
in almost all parts of the state. Well-kept citrus trees are an addition to any lawn. 
Their beautiful, dark green foliage makes a perfect background, either for the pro¬ 
fusion of bloom, or for the golden fruit. They are highly ornamental and the 
planting of a selection will give fresh fruit, lemonade and orange juice for the 
average family, as well as satisfying the desire for beauty. Our citrus trees are of 
very high quality and commercial planters are requested to write for quantity 
prices. All citrus stock is sold balled, excepting for export. Shipping weight ranges 
from 50 to 75 pounds per tree. Shipping season lasts through June. 
GRADING. Citrus trees are graded by caliper, measurement being made three 
inches above the bud.

Washington Navel Orange. The well- 
known Navel, popular in all markets 
throughout the world, is California’s 
most famous fruit variety. The fruit is 
large, beautiful to the eye, seedless, and 
unexcelled in quality. It possesses fine 
shipping qualities and the tree is pre¬ 
cocious and prolific. November to April. 
Valencia Late Orange. The summer 
orange of California which begins to 
ripen at the close of the Navel season. 
The fruit is medium to large; oblong. 
The flesh is of good quality, containing 
abundant juice which makes this va¬ 
riety the standard juice orange. The 
tree attains large size and is a regular 
and very heavy producer. May to No¬ 
vember. 
Eureka Lemon. The leading lemon for 
both commercial and home planting. 
The fruit is of good size, clear lemon 
color, and of the highest quality, with 
abundant juice and few seeds. The tree 
is almost thornless and blooms and pro¬ 
duces heavy crops throughout the year, 
with the bulk of the crop ripening dur¬ 
ing the spring and summer. This lemon 
is exceedingly prolific and probably 
bears heavier than any other citrus 
variety. 
Lisbon Lemon. This variety is some¬ 
what hardier than the Eureka, and 
hence is the predominating lemon north 
Nagami Kumquat 
more in this or smaller sizes. 
of the Tehachapi. The fruit is of me¬ 
dium size, high in quality, with few 
seeds. The tree is large, a good pro¬ 
ducer, but thorny. It bears throughout 
the year. 
Marsh Seedless Pomelo (Grapefruit). 
Known as “grapefruit,” because the 
fruit hangs on the tree in clusters. This 
is the finest variety, grown almost to 
the exclusion of others. The fruit is 
very large, practically seedless, with 
abundant juice of the best quality. Feb¬ 
ruary to August.

Pink (or Thompson) Grapefruit. This is 
a sport of the Marsh Grapefruit, de¬ 
veloped in Florida and brought to Cali¬ 
fornia a few years ago. It has all of the 
good features of its parent, but the 
flesh is a decided pink in color, and is 
very attractive. 
Nagami Kumquat. One of the most 
ornamental of the citrus fruits is this 
semi-dwarf tree from the Orient. 
Stands lower temperatures than other 
citrus. Attains a height of about 8 feet 
and is of a dense branching habit. Is an 
object of beauty when its small golden 
yellow fruits are showing against the 
dark green foliage. Fruit excellent for 
marmalade and jellies. Bears soon after 
planting. Is striking when tubbed for 
the patio. 
Meyer Lemon (Chinese Dwarf Lem¬ 
on). This is another of the hardy, orna¬ 
mental, semi-dwarf citrus fruits intro¬ 
duced from the Orient. It can be grown 
either as a tubbed tree or in hedge 
form, as well as a full sized tree. 
Thrives over a wide range, being at 
home on the coast, as well as in the hot 
interior valleys. Fruits and blooms prac¬ 
tically the whole year around. 
Dancy Tangerine. The most popular of 
the Mandarin oranges. The tree is a 
strong grower and heavy bearer. The 
fruit is medium to large in size, of an 
intense orange red in color and flat¬ 
tened in shape. It is exceedingly juicy 
and has a high flavor.

Satsuma Orange. One of the hardiest 
of all citrus fruits. The fruit is attrac¬ 
tive and fine in quality. The good sized, 
flattened, deep orange fruits have a skin 
which separates readily, and sweet, 
rich flesh of pleasant flavor. The tree is 
a dwarf grower. November to April. 
Bearss Seedless Lime. This is a seed¬ 
less Tahiti lime and is the largest and 
finest of them all. The fruit resembles 
a small lemon and has all of the good 
qualities that one expects in a lime. The 
tree is a vigorous grower and produces 
heavy crops which mature in the sum¬ 
mer, when the lime is most in demand. 
Rangpur Lime. The hardiest of the 
limes, standing the same temperatures 
as the lemon. Fruit is roundish, medium 
sized, with orange-red skin. The deep 
orange flesh is high in acid and of good 
quality. 
Ruby Blood Orange. The best of the 
blood oranges. Fruit of medium size and 
very sweet and juicy. When fully ripe 
the flesh is blood-red, the color extend¬ 
ing through the peel to give a blush to 
the outside. The juice makes an attrac¬ 
tive beverage and the fruit is fine to eat 
out of hand.
