CITRUS FRUITS 
Satsuma Oranges, Round Oranges, Grapefruit, Lemons and Kumquats pro¬ 
duce 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. 
ADVISE BANKING 
We advocate the use of low branched trees, which are better able to with¬ 
stand 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 i8 or 20 
inches wiU 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.

KUMQUAT 
MEIWA Kinkan Orange Fortunella japonica 
Broadleaf Evergreen. Ter. 1 and 2. 8 ft. The Sweet-skin Orange. Very 
delicious as a fruit. Highly ornamental evergreen shrub, with orange-1 ike

years ago. Fruit is large and almost round; deep, golden yellow. Sweetest 
and most deliciously flavored, as well as the most productive of all. Bears 
first year planted. Tree grows quickly, upright, symmetrical, and compact. 
A very choice fruit for desserts, jellies, jams, preserves, pickles and marmalades. 
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.
