VALENCIA ORANGE 

DELICIOUS ORANGES for 
LARGE OR SMALL PLANTINGS 
Whether you are planting a small or large orchard or only a single 
specimen or two, it will pay to select your trees at Rosedale’s. We offer 
only top quality trees in varieties popular for quality and flaver. 
The orange is among the best known of all warm climate fruits as 
a source of delicious, health-giving juice and fruits for salads. To get 
the best quality fruit from your planting, plant correctly and give the 
best care—regular watering, cultivation of the soil under the branches; 
fertilizing and spraying to keep free of scale. 
As an ornamental tree—the orange rates very high—-deep green 
lustrous foliage covering its rounded form from the ground up and in 
its season, the luscious fragrance of blossoms perfumes the air. Orange 
blossom honey is one of the choicest types there is, if you keep bees. 
Robertson Navel 
A sport of the Washington Navel whose distinction of producing 
enormous crops of delicious navel oranges is well recognized. The fruits 
are larger, possess a smoother skin and are generally of a better qual- 
ity. Since it ripens three weeks ahead of the Washington Navel it 
extends the season by almost a month. It is a fine winter orange for 
home planting. (Pat. 126). Each $6.50. 
Seedless Valencia 
Pat. 124. A welcome form of the Valencia orange lacking the cus- 
tomary seeds so common in this popular summer juice orange. Fruits 
similar to the ordinary Valencia with finer textured flesh, containing 
less ‘‘rag’’. Trees are of vigorous growth and bear excellent crops of 
fruit. We recommend this orange very highly and believe you will 
agree with us on the quality of its fruit. $6.50 each. 

Valencia 
Smaller sized fruits, but very fine flavored, although containing a 
tew seeds, making high quality juice. Thin skinned fruits are easily 
juiced. Makes a large tree. May to fall flowering. Each $5.95. 
Washington Navel 
The most popular winter ripening orange. Large, segedless fruits 
unexcelled for flavor, juice and general high quality. Pee!s easily and 
sections can be separated readily without breaking. Fruits ripen from 
December to April. Each $5.95. 
Tangerines 
Dancy 
Beautiful, large thin-skinned fruits, easily peeled and containing a 
wealth of tasty orange-red segments. Each $5.95. 
Satsuma 
Hardy for a citrus, this variety does well in most places. Fruits are 
flattened, with a looser skin covering the tasty orange-red juicy seg- 
ments. One of the earliest tangerines to ripen, often before Christmas. 
Small neat tree, 10 to 12 feet high and a good bearer. Each $5.95. 
King Mandarin 
Large colorful fruits with delightful flavor. The skin, rougher than 
on most tangerines, fits loosely and is easily peeled exposing the tasty 
segments beneath. Has few seeds. The King Mandarin is the largest 
of all tangerines. Ripens from March to August. Each $5.95. 

Suggestions for Using Oranges in Home 
Plantings 
Oranges make an effective screen or barrier at the back of the lot or 
along a noisy street. Plant so the fruit may be easily picked—say 15 
to 20 feet apart, or closer with the reservation that alternate trees will 
be removed when crowded. Fruit forms on the ends of the branches, 
so they will not stand shearing and still bear. 
Protect newly planted trees with special tree protectors to keep hot 
scorching sun away from the bark. Older trees naturally protect them- 
selves in deep shade by the low set branches. Never prune citrus ex- 
cept to keep the shape. Prepare holes well and feed regularly with
