Citrus Trees for the Home Garden 
There is really no need to tell the qualities of citrus trees, both for fruit and appearance. 
Few fruits are as healthful and delicious for many uses, all you need to do is to care 
for your trees in a normal manner and reap the crops the trees bear. The trees we offer 
are number 1, two year old varieties, which under normal conditions will make a fine tree 
for your home planting. 
DELICIOUS ORANGES 
VALENCIA. Thin skinned fruits, ripening in May 
and keeping good quality until late fall. Used mostly 
for juice, and plenty of it. From medium to large- 
sized fruit of bright yellow, containing a few seeds. 
The best summer orange the world over. 
WASHINGTON NAVEL. The famous winter ripen- 
ing orange. Large, almost seedless fruits, unexcelled 
for flavor and high quality. Ripens in December and 
good until April. The main difference between the 
Valencia, aside from its ripening time, is that the 
Navel is exceptional for salads, as the sections of 
the orange are firm and are easily separated. 
TANGERINES, LEMONS, LIMES 
ALGERIAN MANDARIN (Tangerine). Sweet, medium 
sized fruits, deeply and richly colored. Ripen early, 
and the dark green foliage and compact growth 
make this fruit tree a nice ornamental. 
SATSUMA MANDARIN. One of the most hardy 
of citrus trees, this variety has flat-like fruits, with a 
loose skin covering the juicy segments. Often ripens 
before Christmas. A dwarf tree compared to the others, 
reaching only 10 or 12 feet, so fine in a small yard. 
KARA MANDARIN. One of the newer varieties, a 
cross between Satsuma and the King Mandarin. 
Extremely sweet and rich. Full of juice, and the tree 
grows into a nice round head, fine for ornament 
and better for luscious fruit. 
MEYER LEMON. The same hardy lemon grown on 
bushes, but in a tree form, withstanding usual Cali- 
fornia frosts. Aside from the value of the lemons, 
which we all know, this tree has big pink fragrant 
blossoms. This is the ideal home lemon if you have 
room for a nice tree. 
EUREKA LEMON. This is the tree that made Cali- 
fornia lemons famous throughout the world. Most 
popular for many years in commercial and home 
planting. Bears good crops even when the tree is 
young, and continues throughout its lifetime. Usually 
loaded in summertime when lemons are used the 
most. If you are in a colder area, however, plant 
the Meyer Lemon. 
BEARSS SEEDLESS LIME. Large richly flavored fruits 
are produced in good quantity on this large tree. 
Probably the best large lime in this section, ripening 
in the summer. 
MEXICAN LIME. Small, pale green fruits, strongly 
acid and richly flavored. Dwarf, compact tree with 
crops almost the year around.

Juicy Valencia Orange 
GRAPEFRUIT, TANGELO 
MARSH SEEDLESS GRAPEFRUIT. Large fruits, prac- 
tically seedless, full of juice and thin skinned. Vigor- 
ous but nice sized tree. Near the coast Grapefruit 
tend to the sour side, but inland they are fine. 
KUMQUAT 
Dwarf tree to about 12 feet, with small dark green 
foliage. The fruits are about the size of a large 
cherry, only with a long shape. Used in marmalade 
but eaten skins and all. Gives a pleasing sour taste. 
Our citrus trees are grown from the finest stock ob- 
tainable, and with reasonable care, should start bear- 
ing soon. Be sure your hole is enough larger than the 
tree ball to allow good fresh dirt to be filled in. Water 
thoroughly each time, and don’t keep the soil too 
damp. A deep watering will send the new roots down 
rather than keep them on the surface.
