A NEW DWARF ORANGE FROM CHILE. 
(Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck, S. P. I. No. 54651.) 
The Capuchin orange, a dwarf form of the common sweet orange, is 
cultivated in the vicinity of Santiago de Chile, where it may have 
originated. The tree bears heavy crops of fruit while still quite 
small and gives promise of being useful in the United States as 
a house plant, as well as for dooryards and other places where an 
ornamental fruiting plant is desired. The oranges are of excellent 
quality; they are about 2 inches in diameter, with thin skin, few 
seeds, and abundant juice of much the same flavor as the Washing- 
ton Navel. Standing by the tree shown above is Don Salvador 
Izquierdo, one of the principal Chilean nurserymen. (Photo-
