ROOT STOCKS, continued 
SOUR ORANGE. No stock on which citrus fruits are produced is more widely used than Sour 
Orange. No stock is better adapted for the production of healthy, vigorous trees and fine-quality 
fruit under a wide range of soil and climatic conditions. The first budded groves in Florida were 
grown on Sour Orange roots and this stock is being used almost entirely im all of the other citrus- 
producing sections of the world. It is a deep-rooted stock, healthy, free from disease, and hardy. It 
is adapted to the heavier soils such as good flat woods land, hammock and muck, and on these lands 
produces fine, vigorous trees. For the production of high- quality, late-keeping fruit it is unsurpassed. 
CITRUS TRIFOLIATA. Citrus trees on this stock are suitable for planting only in North Florida 
and the Gulf States. These trees are grown in our main nursery at Glen Saint Mary, Fla. Write us 
there for list of varieties and prices. 
CLEOPATRA MANDARIN. This may be termed an “‘all-purpose” stock. It seems to do equally 
well on all types of citrus soils. It is particularly well adapted for small fruits such as kumquats and 
calamondins, as well as the acid fruits such as lemons and limes. Many growers prefer it for oranges, 
especially the Temple. We do not attempt to bud all varieties on this stock, as the demand is not 
sufficient. 
SWEET SEEDLING. This stock may be produced from seeds of any of the sweet oranges. We 
generally use Pineapple orange seeds on account of the vigorous, healthy growth of the seedlings and 
the strong likelihood that the heavy bearing characteristics of the Pineapple will be imparted to the 
varieties budded to it. Sweet Seedling root stock is adaptable to all sandy, well-drained soils. The 
demand for trees on this stock is increasing. We do not keep all varieties on hand but endeavor to 
maintain a constant supply of seedlings. In this way we are in position to fill special orders for cus- 
tomers if arrangements are made at least a year in advance.

To determine number of trees to the acre for other spacings, multiply the distance between trees 
in the row by the distance between rows. Then divide that figure into 43,560 and the result will be 
the number of trees required for one acre of Jand.
