One of our customers in Youngstown, 
Ohio, writes us as follows: “I wish you 
could see my Dwarf Orange which I 
bought from you a number of years 
ago. The plant is not very large, as I 
have kept it pruned back. About 30 
inches high and 30 inches across. It has 
27 ripe oranges, 2 to 21%4 inches in di- 
ameter, and a few small green ones.”
