Valencia: This is the most popular variety of late ma- 
turing orange in Florida and California. It ripens in late 
spring but will hang until July. It has 2 to 6 seed per fruit 
and is popular with the fresh fruit trade and concentrators. 
Reasoner’s Valencia: This is a vigorous growing strain . 
of Valencia which has a reputation for its vigor and good 
bearing qualities. The trees are heavy or thick foliaged

cold spells. i

popular in some sections. Quite resistant to cold. Few _ 
people can distinguish the fruit from the Valencia. 
GRAPEFRUIT 
We propagate the following varieties: Duncan, ena 
Seedless, Red Blush and Thompson (Pink Seedless). | 
Duncan: Of the common or seeded varieties of grape- 
fruit, the Duncan is the most popular variety and we 
propagate it regularly. It bears quite heavily and is Pape; 
cially desirable for sectionizing. 
_ Marsh Seedless: It is too well known to need any. de- 
scription or comment. It is our standard seedless variety 
and may be shipped from October to July. ae | 
Red Blush: An excellent variety with deep red ie uh! 
The “blush” comes through the rind. Very prolific. © 
Thompson: Also called Thompson Pink. lire i a seedless 
variety with pink flesh. 
For the last few years, the “Pinks?” dni “Reds” have 
sold much higher than the white or common grapefruit 
and they are becoming more popular all the time. 7 
PLANTING THE YOUNG TREES 
For those who are not familiar with the proper plant 
of citrus trees, the following suggestions are offered: 
Plant the young trees at the same depth they were grow- 
ing in the nursery. Do not plant deeper as they will not 
grow off as well. It is much better to plant a citrus tree 
a little too shallow than too deep, since it is easy to culti- 
vate soil towards the trees when necessary and they are 
not as subject to foot-rot as deep planted trees. 
Use plenty of water in planting the tree, puddling the 
soil around the roots with water, thus excluding the ex- 
cess air. Two or three buckets of yetsr can ee Heed 9 
advantage. 
Give the trees one or two fracketHul of water again ihe | 
second or third day after planting to settle dirt firmly
