Healthful Citrus Fruits 
No planting in Southern California is complete without some citrus 
fruits even if there is room only for the dwarf kinds. Armstrong trees 
will give you particularly good results because every possible care is 
used in growing them. 
| California Oranges 
Robertson Navel Orange In appearance, 
color, flavor and juiciness, it is equal to the 
finest California Navel. But you can pick fruit 
several weeks before Washington is ripe or 
you can let it hang on and pick it as needed. 
The full grown tree is smaller than that of 
Washington and it will bear much sooner.
