HAMLIN ORANGE 
O PROPERTY in Florida, no matter how small 
or how large, is complete without some citrus 
trees to provide fruit for family use. Through 
careful selection of varieties, a fruit supply for almost 
the entire year may be had. Even the small property 
owner can satisfy his desire to have fresh fruit for the 
picking without sacrificing the attractiveness of his 
home grounds. Ornamental as well as useful, citrus 
trees may be used as specimens or in shrubbery border 
plantings. Being evergreen, they furnish a pleasing 
picture from blooming time until the last fruit is taken 
from the branches. 
Citrus trees are moved with bare roots and are pruned 
back at the time of moving. These pictures show how 
they look at the time of planting, and their develop- 
ment in five years’ time. 
Come in today and let us help you select the va- 
rieties that will give you an abundance of fruit over a 
long season.

Any well-drained garden soil in our area 
will grow citrus fruit, but it is best to avoid 
either a stiff clay or an excessively sandy 
soil. Clay is too difficult to cultivate and 
sand does not retain enough plant food. A 
medium loam is therefore to be preferred. 
Larger trees, like the orange and grapefruit, 
need 25 to 30 feet each way, while 15 to 20 
feet is enough for smaller ones. 
We shall be glad to furnish cultural de- 
tails upon request.
