Low Branched Satsuma Orange Tree 
To Protect Citrus 
WE ADVISE BANKING 
We advocate the use of low 
branched Citrus trees, which are 
are better able to withstand cold 
than those trained up on one slend- 
er stem, and in addition we have 
found that banking dirt in a mound 
high up around the tree 18 to 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. 
Citrus Trees should be 
For all the black, waxy and stiff clay or shallow sandy lands inj 
Texas and Louisiana, Oranges, etc. 
Trifoliata root. For delta land, along the lower Mississippi and Rio 
Grande Rivers and deep sandy soil, oranges should be budded on 
native Florida Sour Orange Root. 
Low Branched Trees 

Satsuma Orange Tree low branched, bud- 
on Citrus Trifoliata understock, are 
most desirable for Home and Orchard 
Plantings. They are quite ornamental as 
well as fruitful, and easier to keep pruned 
and sprayed when low spreading. 
KUMQUAT 
The Kumquat Tree is very hardy, 
a good grower, and bears fruit on 
its new growth. The first season it 
is planted out, or shoud it freeze 
back to the banking, it will bear the 
first year a heavy crop, and thus 
never lose a crop. 
KUMQUAT, MEIWA 
Fortunella japonica 
Bright green foliage. Fruit large 
nearly round; deep yellow. Sweet 
and delicious. Proflic bearer:
