CITRUS TREES A MUST” FOR YOUR GARDEN! 
BEARING CITRUS TREES ARE NOW AVAILABLE

before you could expect any fruit. TODAY, WITH CON- 
TAINER GROWN AND FIELD GROWN BALLED AND 
BURLAPPED STOCK AVAILABLE, YOU MAY TRANS- 
PLANT A TREE IN FULL GROWTH WITH BLOOM OR 
FRUIT AND ENJOY IT IMMEDIATELY! There is no 
waiting—your tree is bearing size, and. each year it grows 
and increases in size and in the amount of fruit borne. Now 
you don’t need to plant trees from which your grandchildren 
can harvest fruit-—PLANT FRUIT TODAY—PICK FRUIT 
TOMORROW!

FLORIDA GROWS MORE CITRUS COMMERCIALLY 
THAN ANY OTHER STATE; MOST FLORIDIANS ARE 
WELL AWARE OF THE HIGH NUTRITIONAL VALUE 
OF CITRUS —YET THERE ARE MANY FLORIDA 
HOME OWNERS WHO DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE 
CITRUS TREE ON THEIR PROPERTY! NOT ONLY 
ARE THEY MISSING THE FRESH FRUIT, BUT THEY 
ARE MISSING THE THRILL OF PERMITTING THEIR 
NORTHERN FRIENDS TO GATHER ORANGES, 
GRAPEFRUIT OR OTHER CITRUS FROM THEIR 
GARDEN! 
CITRUS IS HEALTHFUL 
There is no fruit so rich in important vitamins and minerals 
as tree ripened citrus fruit. Did you realize that Vitamin C, 
that vitamin so important to our well-being, is one of the 
prime factors? The high nutritional value of citrus makes it 
imperative that you use it for your family . . . so you need 
your OWN CITRUS SUPPLY! 
CITRUS IS VERSATILE 
There are so many uses for fresh citrus fruit—think of the 
refreshing drinks, salads, desserts, etc.! All of of these offer 
interesting ways to use citrus in your daily menus. Fresh 
citrus is far superior to store-bought citrus, so you need to 
be able to step out your own door and pick what you need! 
CITRUS IS ATTRACTIVE 
There is no more glorious sight than a citrus tree with 
shining green foliage and golden yellow fruit—unless it is a 
citrus tree white with bloom and shedding fragrance over 
the entire neighborhood! Even for the few months when 
there is no bloom or fruit, you'll find the tree attractive for 
the foliage is evergreen. You may plant a citrus tree in the 
back yard, the side yard, row on row; or you may include 
citrus as part of your landscape planting, or as a specimen 
in your front lawn. It offers shade, too! 
CITRUS TREES INCREASE PROPERTY VALUE 
One of the first things most folks ask about a piece of 
property they are interested in purchasing is about the fruit 
trees—and in Florida it’s citrus! Not only do folks want nice 
fruit trees, but they are willing to pay more for the property 
with nice citrus trees. If you are planning to build a house 
for resale, be sure to plant some citrus—it always pays!
