Citrus Hybrids,” Semen by the United States — 
ment of Agriculture. We propogate both varieties. Our 
budwood trees were grown from budwood of the origi- 
nal government trees. These tangelos are well worth in- 
vestigating and will undoubtedly be profitable varieties 
in the immediate future. 
Temple Orange: This is a “kid glove” type of orange 
SLE oe It is of the Man- 
darin family. We propogate it on Sour Orange, Cleo and 
Rough Lemon stock. The first two rootstocks produce 
superior fruits, thin skinned and juicy. 
Persian Seedless Lime: This is the only commercial 
variety of Jime recommended for planting in Florida. It 
it of a deep green color, very juicy and absolutely seed- 
less. It should be planted in warm locations only, since 
it is more tender than the common orange. 
Meyer Lemon: For home use only. It is very hardy, 
standing as much cold as grapefruit and will grow suc- 
cessfully where limes will not grow. It is the best varie- 
ty for home use in Florida, being very juicy, hardy and 
throughout the year. Budded on Rough Lemon 
oe Cleo stock. It is not compatible with Sour Orange 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
Early Oranges 
' Hfamilini A vigorous grower and ripens in October and 
November. Bears heavily and breaks color quickly. 
Sometimes criticized for poor quality and early drying

overcome this and the proper use of the “minor ele- 
ments” is especially helpful. It is a good orange on Sour 
Orange and Cleo stock. The fruit on Cleo is slighily 
larger than on Sour Orange stock. 
‘Parson Brown: Very popular in some sections but does 
not break color as early as the Hamlin. We have a heavy 
producing strain ce this hea It does well on Sour 
Orange, Cleo and Rough Lemon root. 
Surprise Navel: This is the best Navel orange for Flor- 
ida. It is a good, consistent bearer, of excellent quality 
and is of medium to large size. It can be usually shipped 
from October 15th through January. It is far superior 
to the Washington Navel for Florida planting, since it 
does not become so large and coarse and bears more con- 
sistently. 
MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
The following are the varieties we consider the best: 
Improved Pineapple and Jaffa. 
It needs no description. It is one 
of the best varieties. Originated near Citra and is wide- 
ly grown throughout the Citrus Belt. 
Jaffa: It is very vigorous, is much more hardy than 
the Pineapple, is a heavy bearer and is becoming more
