all the time. It has the reputation of being a regular and 
heavy bearer. 
LATE VARIETIES 
Valencia, Reasoner’s Valencia and Lue Gim Gong 
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 
which is a protection to both the fruit and twigs during 
cold spells. 
Lue Gim Gong: A very hardy variety that will hang 
longer without drying at the stem end than the Valencia. 
Good quality and juicy. It is our latest orange and quite 
popular in some sections. Quite resistant to cold. Few 
people can distinguish the fruit from the Valencia. 
GRAPEFRUIT 
We propagate the following varieties: Duncan, Marsh 
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 espe- 
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. 
Red Blush: An excellent variety with deep red flesh. 
The “blush” comes through the rind. Very prolific. 
Thompson: Also called Thompson Pink. It is a seedless 
variety with pink flesh. 
For the last few years, the ‘Pinks’ and “‘Reds’’ have 
sold much higher than the white or common grapefruit 
and they are becoming more popular all the time. 
PLANTING THE YOUNG TREES 
For those who are not familiar with the proper planting 
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 seil 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 water can be used to 
advantage. 
Give the trees one or two bucketsful of water again the 
second or third day after planting to settle dirt firmly
