CITRUS 
HE various citrus fruits are so important and popular 
today that no Florida home-owner needs to be urged 
to grow some for his family. The orange is one of the 
most indispensable items in everyone’s diet, literally from the 
cradle to the grave; happily, it is just as good tasting as it is 
“sood for you.” Very few people need to be coaxed to eat 
citrus fruits, for they satisfy a natural and healthy hunger 
that is gratified by nothing else. 
Lucky indeed are the residents of Florida who can raise 
some or all of their own fruits. The varieties which grow well 
in the state are numerous; soil and drainage are the two main 
considerations. The phenomenal growth of the commercial 
citrus industry is proof of the fact that the Florida climate is 
ideally suited to this business. On a scale proportionate to 
his needs and the space at his disposal, the home gardener 
can have equal success. 
It is not necessary to devote the space required for a whole 
orchard to the planting of citrus trees. Few people have 
estates large enough for that. But the trees are good looking 
enough to be considered ornamental as well as useful, 
FRUITS 
and many of them are planted as specimens on the home 
grounds. 
The growing of citrus trees is one of the most important 
branches of our nursery business. The stock we offer has been 
carefully handled in the nursery and we have every confidence 
in its ability to transplant and grow well on your grounds. 
We use the very latest and best methods of growing this 
stock, and through root pruning, transplanting, and special 
feeding are able to produce really wonderful trees. Our 
particular specialty is large specimen trees. We cannot de- 
scribe these for you; to be really appreciated they must be 
seen. They should be personally chosen from our nursery, 
and not ordered by mail or phone. 
The scientific methods used in growing these fine trees 
make it possible to move them even when they are bearing 
foliage and fruit, with practically no setback. Our experi- 
ence plus our equipment plus the right trees in proper condition 
assure a successful job of transplanting. 
We invite and urge you to come to our nursery and choose 
your own citrus trees. Let your pocketbook be your guide.
