CITRUS FRUITS 
Satsuma Oranges, Round Oranges, 
Grapefruit, Lemons and Kumquats produce 
very delicious fruits, and can be grown with 
ease in the back yard. They should be 
planted throughout the Coastal region of 
Louisiana and Texas. 
For the black waxy soils and stiff clay 
or flatwoods lands of Texas and Louisiana, 
Citrus should be budded on the Citrus 
Trifoliata understock. 
Low branches protect bodies from sun, prevent bark 
from splittinsr if frozen. 
We advocate the use of low branched trees, which 
are better able to withstand cold than those trained 
up on one slender stem, and in addition we have 
found that banking dirt in a' mound high up around 
the tree 18 or 20 inches will protect the body of 
the tree from freezing, and at the worst, when such 
precaution is taken, only the smaller branches can 
be lost, and the next crop materially reduced.

most deliciously flavored, as well as the most produc¬ 
tive of all. Bears first year planted. Tree grows 
quickly, upright, symmetrical, and compact. A very 
choice fruit for desserts, jellies, jams, preserves,

Kumquats can be grown further North than any 
other Citrus Fruits. By banking them high with 
sandy loam soil, even though the tops freeze back 
to the bank every winter they will come out and bear 
fruit on the new wood.
