MANDARIN ORANGES. Fruit-Bearing and Economic Subtropical Trees and Plants Cinnamomum Camphora (THE CAMPHOR TREE) We have an immense stock of pot-grown plants, which can be shipped and transplanted at any time. Plants grown in open ground are not readily trans- planted. This tree is perfectly hardy, and does well along the south Atlantic and Gulf coast. It is a hand- some evergreen, with bright, shiny leaves. Will do well on poor soil, but of course, will make a more satisfactory growth when properly fertilized. It is being planted in large quantities for producing the gum-camphor of commerce. Prices of plants: 18 to 24 inches, 25 cts. each, $2 for 10, $15 per 100; 36 inches, 50 cts. each, $3 for 10, $20 per 100. CITRUS TRIBE (Oranges, Lemons, Limes, Pomelos) All pot-grown plants, and shipped with ball of earth. 2-year grafts, 12 inches, bushy, 50 cts. each, $4 for 10; 2 years, 15 to 18 inches, beautiful plants, 75 cts. each, $6 for 10; 20 to 24 inches, fine, shapely plants, $1. All our Citrus fruits are budded upon Citris trifoliata. This stock being particularly desirable for the colder sections of the Orange Belt, many experienced orange- growers state that the Trifoliata stock does not mater- ially dwarf the tree when planted in open ground; that the trees have a tendency to branch near the ground, thus making beautiful low-headed trees; that it increases the productiveness and also advances the time of bear- ing, and can resist a lower degree of cold than when budded upon the sour stock. Desirable also for con- servatory cultivation. They fruit when two years old. Our plants this year are the finest we have ever grown. Oranges De Colmar, Du Roi Blood, Homosassa, Jaffa, Jaffa Blood, Magnum Bonum, Majorca, Maltese Blood, Mandarin, Medi- terranean Sweet, Navel or Pernambuco, Nonpareil, Sanguinea Sweet, Sour Seville, Sustain, Satsuma or Oonshiu, Amory's Satsuma. Cleopatra, or Spice Tangerine. A dwarf-growing Orange. Fruit small, orange-red, with pleasant, spicy aroma and good quality. The fruit is produced in great profusion in clusters, which gives this plant a very ornamental appearance. Kinkan, or Kumquat. The plant is of dwarf growth, seldom exceeding 6 to 8 feet, and very compact; fruit about the size of a small plum; rind sweet, juice acid. It can be eaten whole, and is very refreshing. Excel- lent preserves are made from this variety. Exceedingly productive, and an excellent plant for growing in pots. 2 yrs., grafts, 10 to 12 inches, 50 cts. each. Otaheite, or Chinese Dwarf. Suitable for pot culture. Plant of bushy habit; begins to bloom when a foot high; fruit small, of inferior quality, but produced in great profusion. This variety is grown upon its own roots. 25 cts. each; larger plants, 50 cts. Limes, Sweet Lemons The following varieties: Belair, Genoa, Messina, Sicily, Villafranca and Variegated. Pomelo, or Grape Fruit In the past few years this has become a most popular and fashionable fruit. Peel is smooth and thin, flesh juicy and free from bitterness. Prices same as Oranges.
