riety of lime recommended for planting in Florida. It is 
of a deep green color, very juicy and absolutely seedless.

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 variety 
for home use in Florida, being very juicy, hardy and 
ripening throughout the year. Budded on Rough Lemon 
and Cleo stock. It is not compatible with Sour Orange stock. 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
Early Oranges 
Hamlin: A vigorous grower and ripens in October and 
November. Bears heavily and breaks color quickly. Some- 
times criticized for poor quality and early drying out when 
grown on Rough Lemon root. Cleo stock helps overcome 
this and the proper use of the “minor elements” is especial- 
ly helpful. It is a good orange on Sour Orange and Cleo 
stock. The fruit on Cleo is slightly 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 of this variety. 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 usually can be 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 consis- 
tently. It does best on Sour Orange or Cleo root.
