GROW YOUR OWN VITAMINS! 
CITRUS FRUITS A “MUST” FOR YOUR FAMILY 
No property in Florida, no matter how small or how 
large, is complete without some CITRUS TREES to pro- 
vide fruit for family use. Through careful selection of 
varieties, a fruit supply for the entire year may be had. 
Citrus fruit provides the necessary vitamins, so is a “must” 
in your family’s diet—and it’s better and cheaper when you 
pick it from your own trees! 
Even the small property owner can satisfy his desire to 
have fresh fruit for his family without sacrificing the attrac- 
tiveness of his home grounds. Ornamental as well as use- 
ful, citrus trees may be used as specimen or in the shrubbery 
borders. Since they are evergreen, the foliage is attractive 
all during the year, and they are particularly lovely when 
they are in bloom and in fruit. 
A few years ago, it was necessary to cut back citrus trees 
to a stub and move them bare root. Then the home owner 
had to wait for three or four years to have any fruit at all. 
Now most citrus trees are grown in containers, and you can 
purchase your tree in full leaf, with bloom or with fruit, 
and transplant them to your grounds with no loss of foliage 
or of time. 
Any well drained garden soil in our area will grow citrus 
fruit; however, it must be certain that the drainage is good. 
With a regular program of fertilization, and a clean-up 
spray applied once or twice each year, you'll find you can 
grow “Quality F ruit” in your own yard—and have a lot of 
fun doing it!
