Foreword

=|NOTHER YEAR OF SUCCESS has added its testimony to the vitality of the idea on which the Glen Saint Mary Nurseries were founded, in 1883—the idea of supplying Gulf Coast planters with trees and plants especially adapted and especially propa- gated for their needs.

AGAIN have the matured and fruiting trees from Glen Saint Mary Nurseries, in home grounds and orchards all over the Gulf States, “made good”’ and proved still more com- pletely that in horticulture, as elsewhere, pedigree and training count. It is little wonder that old customers come to us year after year, and that with only a limited amount of advertising new patrons add their demands for our stock until it taxes our resources to supply all—our ‘‘finished product”’ so efficiently tells the story of the quality the people want.

FOR 1910 we are better equipped than ever before to render thoroughly satisfactory service to our trade. Our facilities have been still further enlarged and improved, and our stock is better- grown and more efficiently handled with each added year’s experience. The special study of Gulf Coast needs in trees and plants that has made famous the Glen Saint Mary Nurseries testing grounds is maintained, increased and perfected as we move on, every achievement spurring us to more ambitious attempts for the future.

“GULF COAST NEEDS.’’ ‘‘Trees for the Southland,’’ ‘‘Trees True to Name’ and ‘‘Trees that Thrive’ are mottos inseparably connected with the name of Taber and Glen Saint Mary Nurseries. We are as jealous of our reputation along these lines as of our personal honor or financial standing. Old friends need no assurance on the quality of trees and plants produced in Glen Saint Mary Nurseries—and those not yet acquainted with us we invite to give our stock a trial, risking entirely the future of our dealings with them upon our ability to serve to complete Satisfaction, Sincerely yours

GUE: TABER, President 2 Glen Saint Mary Nurseries Co.

Citrus Fruits

In planting Citrus Fruits, three things are of primary importance—soil, climate and trees.

Good judgment must be exercised in the selection of a location, that the trees may be set in ideal surroundings, for no amount of expense and labor will overcome unsuitable conditions.

Having selected a good soil and a suitable location, it is essential that good trees be procured. These should be well grown with clean, smooth trunks, not stunted nor bark bound, but vigor- ous thrifty trees. They should be free from insects and diseases, carefully dug and carefully packed, so as to reach the planter in good condition.

In addition to all this, the trees must be ‘‘true to name,’’ for no one can tell until they come into bearing whether they are or not, and success or failure depends on their genuineness. In growing our trees, we spare no expense in producing the best that can be grown. We produce trees to fill the conditions set forth above. Our constant aim is to secure quality, for the purchase of cheap, poorly grown, mixed trees is the most expensive investment that can be made.

Unless otherwise instructed, all Citrus trees are trimmed ready for planting before shipping.

Trees on Sour Orange and Rough Lemon Stocks

For general planting in the Citrus districts, Sour Orange stock will be found most satisfactory. It is adapted to a wide range of territory and conditions, but prefers rather heavy soil and a good supply of moisture. Its habit of developing a deep root system, its thrifty vigorous growth, its hardiness, its immunity from foot-rot, and its general adaptability to different varieties of Citrus fruits, are all strong points in its favor and well worthy of note. 3

Rough Lemon stock produces a very strong growth of the bud placed uponit. It is recom; mended for planting on dry soils and in those localities where either lack of moisture or trying soil conditions render the use of Sour stock inadvisable. It is particularly adapted to deep sandy soils. Most shy-bearing varieties are much more prolific on Rough Lemon stock. It cannot be recommended for the colder sections.

Citrus Fruits

It has become of gréat importance asa stock for citrus trees of all kinds. Varieties budded on it are made hardier because of its dormant and hardy character, and the fruit is of exceedingly fine quality, ripening two or three weeks earlier than if budded on other stocks. It has been claimed that it dwarfs the trees budded upon it, but the tests of years in our test-groves have not proven this to be so except in the case of a few varieties. For the Satsuma orange, it is the only stock to use.

Citrus trifoliata is adapted for planting on alluvial lands, clay lands, soils underlaid with clay and those which naturally contain plenty of moisture or to which water can be applied by irriga- one It should not be planted on high, dry, sandy lands lacking in moisture. On such soils it is a failure.

Seedlings can be used as a hedge, and it forms an impenetrable barrier to man or beast and, with proper care, can be made rabbit-proof.

We do not attempt to propagate all our varieties on Citrus trifoliata, and carry only a select list of those varieties which our experience has proven will give satisfaction on this stock. Our list of varieties is as follows, though we can supply a few trees of nearly all varieties in our list on special request: Boone’s Early, Dugat, Jaffa, Magnum Bonum, Mandarin, Nonpareil, Old Vini, Parson Brown, Pineapple, Ruby, Satsuma, Tangerine and Washington Navel Oranges, Duncan and McCarty Grapefruit, Kenedy, Villa Franca and Ponderosa Lemons, Marumi and Nagami Kumquats.

_ Bessie. Medium-sized; skin thin, but tough and firm ; juicy and fine-flavored. One of the most profitable of the late

(See page 5)

sorts. Holds in perfection until May. Tree vigorous and productive.

Boone (Boone’s Early). Medium size; good quality. One of the most valuable extremely early varieties. Unlike most early varieties, it colors up as soon as ripe.

Brazilian. A variety as yet comparatively little known by Florida orange-growers, but highly recommended for vigor and productive- ness. Fruit of very fine quality and hangs upon the iree without deterioration until midsummer.

Centennial. Ripens early, but hangs on the tree well, and is of fine quality late in the sea- son. Is a vigorous grower and prolific bearer.

Dugat. This variety has been grown in south- ern Texas for several years, where it is highly esteemed as one of the hardiest varieties and of excellent quality.

Du Roi. Medium-sized; slightly oblong; sometimes slightly ribbed; fine-grained, with but few seeds. Quality good.

Enterprise Seedless (Starke Seedless). Size medium ; quality fine; seedless, or nearly so. Tree vigorous and productive. Early.

Golden Buckeye Navel. A recent California introduction, and is described as follows by the introducer : ‘‘ The tree is a good grower, thorn- less. * * * A pronounced characteristic of the fruit, which makes it distinct from all other va- rieties of Navels, is a series of bands or ridges of a deeper orange- -color, which add much to the beauty. * * * Smooth and of a kid- glove texture. Flavor strongly aromatic, with a sug- gestion of pineapple to the taste; pulp of fine texture, with but few segments, almost entirely free from rag. * * * Good keeper and ship- per.’’ Ripens early; seems to promise well, and to be worthy of careful trial in various sec- tions.

Golden Nugget Navel. A new California variety for which the introducer claims some very desirable features. Tree is described as of distinct habit, very symmetrical, and foliage ex- ceptionally dark green ; thornless. Fruit very smooth, solid, and thin- skinned ; very much more so than Washington Navel, even at its best; of fine texture; color a strong gold; shape rather oblong, good size ; fruit exception- ally free from rag and is seedless ; flavor deli- cious ; bears young, generally second year from planting. A good shipper and keeper. Ripens early and ought to become valuable.

Hart (Hart’s Late). Of medium size, round or slightly oval ; smooth ; very solid and heavy, the flesh being’ very firm; quality good ; peel of lightest cast; few seeds. The tree is very

lie Leen ee aoe

Jafia Oranges

strong, spreading and vigorous grower, prolific; the foliage is distinct ; but few thorns. Ripens in April; hangs on the tree in good condition until midsummer. The best late variety for gen- eral planting.

Homosassa. Size about medium; round, somewhat flattened ; very heavy; color bright; skin very smooth, thin, tough and dense; pulp fine sweet and juicy; flavor full, vinous and sprightly ; membranes covering segments cf pulp thin and small in quantity; keeps ancl carries well. Quality best. Tree vigorous and prolific.

Jaffa. Medium to large; peel thin; pulp melting, scarcely any fiber ; juicy, rich and of exquisite flavor. In quality uusurpassed, being one of the four or five varieties which head the list in all competitions. The fruit remains on the tree in prime condition for a long period. The tree is a strong, upright grower of distinct habit, practically thornless, and a prolific bearer when it has attained sufficient size to hold good crops.

Joppa Late. This variety was originated by Mr. A. B. Chapman, of San Gabriel, Cal., from seed obtained in Joppa, Palestine. An extremely late orange—said to be even later than Hart’s Late. Tree upright, vigorous grower and thorn- less. Fruit medium to large; oblong, with thin rind ; few or no seeds ; pulp juicy and sweet.

Kins. Very large, flattened and with loosely adhering rind and segments ; color orange-red ;

Giaue [as eee

skin rough, but general appearance fine; its high and peculiar aromatic flavor is very agree- able; it has few seeds ; flesh deep red-orange, juicy, meaty; inner lining of rind and mem- branes bright buff. Quality the very best. Tree upright, strong grower; quite thorny. March, April and May; keeps in good condition even later.

Lamb (Lamb’s Summer). A medium-sized orange of fair quality, valuable chiefly onaccount of the time of ripening—during the summer, as its name indicates.

Madam Vinous. Medium to large; skin smooth and thin. Quality fine. One of the best of the numerous good varieties from the Indian river section of Florida. Ripens midseason.

Magnum Bonum. Size large to very large ; flattened; color light, clearorange; skin smooth and glossy ; color of flesh light ; grain very fine, tender and melting ; fruit very heavy and juicy ; excellent shipper ; ‘quality best. Tree prolific and vigorous.

Pineapple Oranges (see page 7)

Majorca. Medium size; round; rich, juicy and sweet; equals Jaffa in quality, its charac- teristics being similar to that variety. It is a good keeper and shipper. Treea strong, bushy grower, very robust; foliage very distinct ; nearly thornless; a fine bearer.

Maltese Blood! Fruit medium in size; round or slightly oblong ; skin very smooth, thin and tough; very juicy, sweet and sprightly ; good in December, but better in April; a good shipper. mnree prolific and vigorous ; practically thorn- less ; foliage distinct.

Maltese Oval (Garey’s Mediterranean Sweet). Fruit medium to large; quality first- class ; ripens medium to late. Tree of distinct spreading growth, vigorous and prolific.

Mandarin. Medium size, flattened; deep yellow ; skin thin; segments loosely adherent ; flesh dark orange-yellow, spicy and aromatic. Although largely superseded in Florida by other Mandarin oranges, yet in southern Louisiana the Mandarin is still planted as one of the most profitable sorts,

Mediterranean Sweet (Sanford’s). Large size; smooth rind. Quality good. Ripens late. One of the best of General Sanford’s introduc- tions.

Navelencia. A comparatively new variety of California origin. Said to be a cross between Thomson’s Improved Navel and Valencia Late, combining the good qualities of the former and lateness of the latter. Ripens 30 to 60 days later than Washington Navel. Tree of good growth, small thorns, full, well-rounded top. Fruit good- sized, smooth and thin- skinned, and of fine qualitv ; gives promise of being a valuable acquisition.

Nonpareil. Size medium to slightly larger, somewhat flattened; grain fine, pulp melting and tender; juice subacid and vinous ; quality best. Tree vigorous and prolific. A very desir- able early variety.

Old Vini (Beach No. 4). Size medium, slightly flattened ; color dark orange ; pulp melt- ing; juice subacid ; pleasant sprightly quality.

Oneco. Of full, medium size for the Mandarin type. Thecolor of skin is red, like Tangerine, and it also possesses a decided Tangerine aroma. The fruit is of good quality and reminds one of Satsuma, Tangerine and King blended.

Paper Rind (St. Michael). Fruit medium size, round ; quality good; productive. Treea vigorous grower.

Parson Brown. Size medium, round or slightly oblong; peel smooth, texture fine; quality good. Keeps and ships well. One of

Satsuma Oranges

the best of the early varieties. Begins to ripen in October.

Pineapple. A most excellent variety, which has, during recent years, attained, and very justly so, a great amount of prominence. The tree is a very strong, upright grower ; prolific. Fruit medium to large ; peel thin but tough, very smooth and bright; heavy, juicy and of excel- lent quality. We consider this one of the best round Oranges and recommend it as one of the most profitable sorts for extensive planting.

Ruby. Medium-sized, nearly round; skin thin but very tough; pulp melting, rich, juicy and of exquisite flavor; quality unsurpassed. As the fruit ripens it usually becomes streaked or mottled with blood-red; often the entire pulp gets ruby-red, showing through the peel in a reddish blush on the outside. Ruby is the best of the Blood Oranges, and its eating quality is good before the markings show. The tree is vigorous, nearly thornless, and a regular bearer. We esteem this one of the most valuable varie- ties for general planting.

St. Michael Blood. One of the best of the Blood Oranges. Fruit medium size, almost round, with thin but tough skin; pulp juicy, melting, rich and of exquisite flavor, being un- surpassed in quality. Usually the fruit becomes mottled or streaked with blood-red as it ripens, the pulp often a beautiful, rich ruby-red, show- ing through the peel in a reddish blush. Is a regular bearer, vigorous and nearly thornless.

Satsuma (Synonyms. Oonshiu, KiiSeedless). Of medium size; flattened; loosely adhering rind and easily separated segments like all other varieties of the Mandarin ( Cztrvas xobi/is) group; the color is a deep yellow; flesh fine-grained, tender, juicy, sweet and delicious; entirely seed- less. Ripens in September, October and No- vember. Tree of somewhat smaller growththan other Oranges, and is of unique habit. Entirely thornless. Bears when very young. This is un- doubtedly the hardiest known variety of edible Orange, and this, in connection with its early ripening and fine quality, makes it an exceed- ingly valuable sort. We are growing it largely in our own Orange groves at Glen Saint Mary, in northern Florida, and are probably the largest propagators of this variety in America. When budded on Citrus trifoliata it is the best variety for general planting throughoutnorthern Florida and the Gulf coast Orange region generally.

Surprise Navel. Originated by Mr. E. S. Hubbard, of Federal Point, Fla. Size medium ; navel mark small, but very distinctive. Very heavy, smooth, thin-skinned, and nearly seed- less. Quality good. Ripens early. Claimed to be a heavy bearer, even when budded on sour stock, and is believed to be quite an acquisition to the list of Oranges; worthy of careful trial.

Sweet Seville (Sanford’s). Size medium, round; a good keeper and shipper; sweetens first of the early kinds, and is known distinctly as a sweet Orange. Tree vigorous and prolific.

Gathering Kumquats at Glen Saint Mary Nurseries

Tangerine (Dancy’s). One of the well-known ‘‘kid-glove’’ Oranges; belongs to the Mandarin group. Flat, small to medium; skin separates freely from the flesh; juicy, aromatic and rich, of a deep red color. Particularly good grower and prolific. December, January and February.

Thompson Improved Navel. This variety has been attracting considerable attention in California, where it was originated. Fruit of medium size, rind very smooth and thin; pulp juicy, sweet, and of firm texture. Ripens early. Tree similar to Washington Navel.

Valencia Late. A very late and very prolific variety of fine quality. Season May and June, but fruit will hang on trees till August or Sep- tember. Fruit of good size, oval or rounded in shape; juicy and tender.

Washington Navel. Like other Navels, bears a peculiar umbilical formation on the summit or blossom end of the fruit; this protuberance is not so prominent as in some varieties of Navel Orange. The fruit is large to very large, somewhat oval; flesh meaty, tender, sweet and highly flavored; an exceptionally luscious fruit.

KUMQUATS

The Kumquat, or Kin-kan (Citrus Japonica), the smallest of the Citrus family, is a hardy shrub, reaching a height of 10 to 15 feet. A handsome plant, with dark foliage and golden fruit.

Kumquats equal the Satsuma orange in hardiness, and should be planted with it. On Cfrus trifoliata stock, it will withstand a temperature of 15 degrees F. without injury. The fruit sells at

a fancy price, $6 to $10 per crate, and, if carefully marketed, it is a very profitable fruit to grow. The fruits should be picked with leaves attached, packed tastefully in quart baskets, and shipped in strawberry crates. They are eaten without removing the rind, and make excellent preserves,

marmalades, jellies and crystallized fruit. We propagate only on Citrus ¢trifoliata and Rough Lemon stock, as they do not grow well on Sweet or Sour Orange roots.

Donaldson. We introduced in Ig09 to our customers a new variety of Lemon named Donaldson. The fruits of this variety are very large, weighing 1 to 2 pounds, and of the same shape and color as the smaller Lemons. The acid is clear and strong, and the fruit is exception- ally fine for home use. The tree is a strong, hardy grower, and we have no hesitation in recom- mending it for planting.

Ponderosa Lemon. An exceptionally large Lemon, fruits weighing from 1% to 2% pounds; very juicy, excellent quality, genuine lemon flavor. Rind very thin for such large fruit. Bears when quite young. Tree quite similar to other lemons in appearance and about as hardy.

POMELO (Grape Fruit)

Year by year the Pomelo is steadily gaining in public favor. More of the fruit is consumed than ever before, and still the demand is increasing. It has become the break- fast fruit of America.

To the planter of citrus trees, the Pomelo commends itself because it comes into bearing early and bears extremely heavy crops. It is not too much to say that Pomelo trees will bear more fruit per tree than any other citrus.

We have given particular atten- tion to the growing of Pomelo trees for many years. In our test grove we have the different varieties in fruit and are, therefore, in position to speak definitely concerning their merits and to know definitely that our stock is genuine. Marsh Seedless Pomelo

LIMES

Limes can be put to all the uses for which the lemon is adapted. The flavor is different from that of the lemon, but is highly appreciated by every one who has used the fruit. In tropical countries they are in more general use than lemons.

Lime trees are vigorous growers and in suitable climates bloom and bear continuously throughout the year. It must be remembered that Limes are very tender trees and should not be planted in sections subject to hard frosts. For this reason we are growing them only on sour orange and rough lemon stocks. They grow well under very adverse conditions.

New Pomelo, McCarty THE POMELO THAT BEARS ITS FRUITS SINGLY

For many years we have had under observation a Pomelo of the famous Indian River strain, a late-maturing variety of un- surpassed quality. The fruit is waxy, yellow color; of large size, packing 48 to 64 per box. The tree is vigorous, healthy and prolific. The striking peculiarity of the variety is that the fruit, almost entirely, is borne not in bunches, but singly, and well distributed over the tree. This is a valuable feature.

The flavor isa perfect blending of sweet, acid and bitter- ness, the true Pomelo flavor. The flesh is melting, free from fiber and rag ; seeds about the usual number.

We have named the variety McCarty, in honor of the late Mr. C. T. McCarty, one of Florida’s most noted horticulturists. The original tree is growing at the McCarty home at Eldred, Florida, and we believe it to be well worthy of his name. PRICES ON NEW POMELO, McCARTY.—On Sour Orange and Citrus

New Lemon, Kenedy

A LEMON ALL JUICE AND THE JUICE ALL ACID

This fine Lemon originated on the ranch of Mr. John G. Kenedy, Sarita, Texas. In the win- ter of 1908, our President, Mr. G. L. Taber, visited the original tree and, with Mr. Kenedy’s as- sistance and under his supervision, cut buds from the tree which Mr. Kenedy said was the best and should be known as Kenedy. Buds had already been cut indiscriminately from this and four other seedling lemons, and the whole mixed lot is now being grown and disseminated by other nurserymen as Kenedy Lemon. We are pleased to be able to introduce the true variety of this name. It is a Lemon of good commercial size and con- sidered hardy, quite or almost seedless, beautiful, smooth with very thin rind and solid flesh. The tree is prolific and thrifty.

We submitted specimens to Prof. W. A. Blair, Chemist of the Florida Ex- periment Station, who reported the fruit as containing 68.69% juice and 7.40% citric acid. This marks it as a Lemon of the very highest quality.

New Hybrid Plum, McRea

We are introducing to our customers, this season, a new hybrid Plum—McRea, which we believe to be well worthy of extensive planting. The tree is vigorous, a heavy annual bearer. The fruit is of medium size, 114 to 1% inches in diameter, flattened, oblique at the apex, yellow in color, washed with dull red on the exposed parts, thickly dotted with small, light-colored dots. Bloom delicate and bluish in color. Flesh yellow, firm, becoming juicy; good shipper. Flavor subacid and quality very fine. Said to bea seedling of Kelsey. Ripens June roto 15 or later.

The McRea Plum originated near Lake City, Columbia county, in northern Florida, and was first brought to our attention by Mr. J. C. Bates. It is of the same type as Excelsior and Terrell, but quite different in flavor. It is believed to be a seedling of Kelsey, the variety which more than any other has given us splendid seedling plums, The tree is a strong grower, and bears well.

PEACHES

For twenty-seven years we have been studying Peaches. During this period, we have originated and introduced a large number of different kinds. We have throughout this period been growing nursery trees, and the trees which we are producing for our customers are better than ever before. Our land is particularly adapted to the growing of fine Peach stock, and we are able to offer our customers the best trees that can be produced. They are well-grown, true to name,—in short, ‘‘Quality trees’’ of the very best strains.

Varieties of Peaches should be carefully selected, to have them adapted to the section where they are to be planted. This done, good trees planted on new land with good drainage, and care-

fully cultivated, they bring quick returns, and are among the most satisfactory fruits that can be grown either for home use or for the market.

The types of Peaches are as follows: Persian, commonly planted inthe North. Northern Chinese, which includes Elberta and related varieties, generally planted in the cotton-belt; well adapted to western Florida. Spanish, native varieties that have originated in Florida and in the Gulf Coast; adapted to the latitude of northern Florida. Hozey, comprising the Honey and its seedlings, adapted to northern Florida, southern Georgia and westward around the Gulf. Feen-/o, comprising the original Peen-to and the varieties originated from it; well adapted to Florida, tropical and subtropical regions. Jewel, is the most important commercial variety in the group.

Oriental Bloods, Red Ceylon, adapted to the same range as Peen-to and Japan Dwarf Blood to the same territory as the Honey Peach.

LIST TO AID SELECTION

In assigning varieties to districts of wide area, there will be local exceptions, but the foilow- ing lists are based on many years of somewhat extensive planting, experimenting, research and observation, and are as nearly accurate as we know howto make them.

SUCCESSION OF RIPENING.—The terms ‘‘very early,” ‘‘early,’’ ‘‘midseason’’ and ‘‘late,” in the following list (as indicated to the right of each variety by the abbreviations ‘‘VE,”’ ‘‘E,”’ ‘“M,” “‘L’’) indicate the comparative ripening time of the variety.

Japan Dwarf Blood. (O. B.) A blood free- stone of good size and appearance and fair quality. Ripens earlier than Alexander. <A dwarf-growing stocky tree.

Jessie Kerr. (Per.) A freestone, larger and earlier than Alexander, which it resembles in tree and fruit. Preferred to the latter by many

orchardists. Adapted to the same sections as the Alexander. Jewel. (P.-to.) Medium to large; rounded

to oblong ; highly colored, red on exposed parts ; flesh yellow, red about the pit, juicy, melting, sweet; excellent quality; freestone. Ripens about two weeks earlier than Waldo. A good shipper ; tree very vigorous and healthy. This is the most valuable market variety for southern Florida and all tropical and sub-tropical regions. It stands without an equal as the commercial market variety for these sections.

Maggie. (P.-to.) Size medium ; roundish ob- long ; skin yellowish white, washed with car- mine; flesh fine-grained, sweet, juicy and melt- ing; sub-cling. Ripens about with the Peen-to. Very much like Bidwell’s Early in appearance, time of ripening and other qualities.

Mamie Ross. (N. C.) Aseedling of the Chi- nese Cling, which it much resembles. Fruit almost as large as the Chinese Cling; white, nearly covered with delicate carmine; flesh white, juicy and of good quality. A regular and prolific bearer. Popular throughout Texas, where it is esteemed the finest early cling. June 15.

Matthews’ Beauty. (N. C.) The fruit is of large size, shaped similar to Elberta, but a little longer; skin golden yellow, streaked with red ; flesh firm, vellow and of excellent flavor. Ri- pens two or three weeks later than Elberta.

Mayflower. (Per.) Large; well colored ; red all over ; of fine quality ; cling. A very promis- ing variety. Its earliness, high color and excel- lent quality are strong pointsin its favor. Ripens four or five days earlier than Sneed.

Onderdonk. (Sp.) Large; skin and flesh yellow ; very juicy andsweet. Free. Originated in Texas. Possesses a valuable combination of quality, appearance and productiveness. A good midseason variety. Last of July.

Pallas. (Hon.) Good size, nearly round ; deep red, dotted with salmon and tipped with light yellow at the base and apex; flesh white, fine-grained, melting, with a rich vinous aroma ; quality excellent; free. Seedling of Honey. Succeeds well along the Gulf coast from Florida to southern Texas. June 20 to 30.

Peen-to. (P.-to.) A curiously formed Peach, flattened at both ends, with pit of the same shape ; color greenish white, washed with red on exposed parts; flesh light yellow, sweet, rich, juicy, of good flavor, with aslight bitter-almond flavor; cling, with very small pit. Succeeds well in southern Florida. This variety and its seedlings are among the most tropical varieties of Peaches. Ripens in northern Florida May 20 to June 3.

Powers’ September. (Sp.) Fruit of medium size and good quality ; flesh white, free. The tree is a good grower. A native variety of value on account of its lateness. Sept. I to 15.

Red Ceylon. (O. B.) A good-sized fruit of dull green color; flesh blood-red to the stone, from which it separates freely. It is not first- class to eat out of hand, as it is too acid to suit most tastes, but it isa most excellent fruit for cooking, being possessed of a peculiar flavor when cooked, suggesting prunelles. This Peach is as unique in its way as the Peen-to and of an even more semi-tropical character. Tree a heavy and annual bearer in south Florida, and fruits well in Cuba.

Sneed. (N. C.) Very early, averaging eight to ten days earlier than Alexander. Fruit of medium size, somewhat oval in shape; color creamy white, with rich, red blush on sunny side; ripens evenly to the pit ; flesh white, very free and juicy ; semi-cling. Of fine quality and not subject to rot, as are so many of the early varieties. A seedling of the Chinese cling, it has the vigor of its parents in tree growth and fruit-buds.

Suber. (P.-to.) Seedling of the Peen-to, orig!- nated at Lake Helen in southern Volusia county. It has been quite extensively grown for ship- ment by the growers of Lake Helen, by whom it is highly esteemed. Its description is not materially different from Bidwell’s Early, except that it is larger, firmer and a little more acid than the latter. The tree is a vigorous grower and a satisfactory bearer, and the fruit brings a high price in maket.

PLUMS

In the extreme South, particularly in central and south Florida, southern Texas, and, in fact, all along the Gulf coast, the pure-bred Japanese varieties have not been good bearers, conse- quently were not generally profitable. But cross-bred varieties—Japanese varieties crossed with native varieties —have proven heavy annual bearers. These cross-bred varieties have made com- mercial Plum-growing not only possible, but worthy the attention of fruit-growers even in south Florida and northern Mexico. Of these cross-bred Plums, we can heartily recommend Excelsior, McRea and Terrell. These are excellent kinds and heavy bearers.

This is probably a seedling of Excelsior. The tree is a strong, healthy grower, very similar in character of growth to Excelsior and also like Excelsior in that it is aheavy annual bearer. The

fruit is of large size, 114 to 2 inches in diameter; nearly round, slightly ribbed at suture, termi- nating in blunt point. Color at maturity a beau- tiful reddish yellow, somewhat mottled, covered with purplish bloom ; assumes a wine-red when fully ripe. Flesh greenish yellow, meaty, sweet, toned with sufficient acidity to give a fine flavor, juicy ; quality excellent; pit very small; cling- stone. We have no hesitancy in recommending the Terrell as one of the finest, if not the finest variety, for all parts of Florida and the Gulf-

coast country. PEARS

Pear-blight, now present in nearly all parts of the country has proven to be a serious draw- back in pear-growing. As a result the market prices have greatly advanced, and when a crop of Pears is secured it is a paying crop.

By careful attention to pruning, fertilizing, cultivation and selection of varieties, Pears can be grown successfully. Varieties of the Oriental group are best adapted to the lower South, and these are the only ones we offer to the trade. Such varieties as Le Conte, Smith and Magnolia are little troubled by blight, while Kieffer is practically immune when properly cared for.

JAPAN PERSIMMONS

Persimmons are easily grown, have few enemies and are prolific bearers. The fruit stands shipment well, is large, strikingly handsome and to most palates very delicious. When properly handled. properly marketed, displayed on fruit-stands at just the right stage of ripeness, its excep- tional beauty and unusual flavor commend good, in fact, often fancy prices.

Some of the varieties have dark flesh, others light flesh, still others a mixture of the two. The light and the dark flesh differ radically in texture and consistency, as well as appearance, and, when found in the same fruit, are never blended, but always distinct. The dark flesh is never astringent ; the light flesh is astringent until it softens. The dark-fleshed fruit is crisp and meaty like an apple, and is edible before it matures. Some of the entirely dark-fleshed kinds improve as they soften. The light-fleshed kinds, and those with mixed light and dark flesh, are very deli- cious when they reach the custard-like consistency of full ripeness. In some, the astringency dis- appears as the fruit begins to soften ; in others, it persists until the fruit is fully ripe. Seeds accom- pany the dark flesh. Light-fleshed kinds are seedless. Those with mixed flesh have seeds in proportion to the quantity of dark flesh. The time of ripening, August to December.

FIGS

No fruit is more valuable in the southern fruit garden than the Fig. They can be closely The Fig-canning industry is gradually extending throughout the South, and since several tons of fruit can be produced on an acre of ground, it is well adapted to intensive culture. The preserved product put up at the present time in no wise supplies the demand, and we look for a very material increase in the Fig-canning industry.

The fresh Fig is also finding its way into the markets, and meeting with a ready sale.

Care-

fully picked at the right stage of maturity and packed in strawberry crates, they can be placed by express in distant markets, four or five hundred miles, or even more, in good condition. Figs come into bearing very early and for that reason commend themselves to the fruit-grower.

POMEGRANATES

The Pomegranates are very hardy shrubs which can be grown throughout the Gulf states and the coastal sections of Georgia and the Carolinas. The brilliant scarlet flowers are produced in profusion, and the Pomegranates are generally very prolific, and thrive with little care. The fruit

is used in making jellies, marmalades and acid drinks.

For this latter purpose they are highly

esteemed. The fruit has a fresh crispness, delicacy and sprightliness of flavor found in few fruits. The Pomegranate is one of the coming commercial fruits, and the interest in its culture is gradu-

ally increasing.

MULBERRIES

While Mulberries are of little value for commercial purposes or table use, there are neverthe- less several purposes for which they are admirably suite and of decided value. They form an economic food for poultry and swine, and for tolling birds away from other fruits there is nothing

else so effective.

GUAVAS

The Guava is a sub-tropical fruit, and quite hardy; in fact, it can be cultivated throughout practically the same range as the hardy varieties of oranges. The leaves are bright green and shiny, while the fruit is highly esteemed for making jellies and preserves. Among the Guavas, the Cattley (Pstdium Cattleyanum), is the hardiest species. Of this we offer two varieties.

The Loquat is a strikingly handsome, large-leaved evergreen tree adapted to the Gulf-coast country and more tropical locations. The leaves are large, dark green and rough; the young shoets woolly. A compact grower, and forms a well-rounded head. It is very desirable as an ornamental.

Nor is it desirable as an ornamental only, for its fruit, which is about the size of a Wild Goose plum, oblong, bright yellow, subacid, has an agreeable flavor and is highly prized for cooking makes a most excellent jelly.

The white blossoms, borne in spikes, come during the winter months; consequently, while trees are quite hardy all along the Gulf coast, fruit can “be counted on only ‘in sections compara- tively exempt from severe cold.

Scuppernong Grapes

GRAPES

Grapes of the Muscadine group are native in the southern states and, of all the Grapes which may be grown, they are the best adapted to southern conditions. Generally the clusters are quite small as compared with the bunch Grapes, but the fruit has a fine flavor and is valuable as a table Grape, for making unfermented grape juice, for jellies and for wine. In Virginia and North Caro- lina the culture of Muscadine Grapes for wine-making is rapidly becoming an important industry.

Many persons who have planted the Scuppernong Grape have found that their vines, when they reach sufficient size, bloom but set no fruit. We guarantee all our Scuppernong vines to bear fruit as soon as they are well established and have reached sufficient size. If they do not, we will either replace them or refund the money paid for them.

Quite a number of bunch Grapes are also well adapted to the South. In a number of sections they are grown for market, and there are few localities where a sufficient quantity cannot be raised for home use. We particularly recommend Delaware, Diamond, Ives, Moore’s Early and Niagara.

PECANS

Throughout the southern states no fruit or nut tree is better adapted for general planting or more worthy of careful cultivation than the Pecan. It is to the South what the apple is to the North— worthy of a place in every fruit-garden, on every lawn, and the most important fruit tree from the standpoint of the orchardist. The Pecan fits well into the general farming of the regions

to which it is adapted. It must be planted farther apart than other fruit trees, leaving ample space for the cultivation.of general farm crops. These crops may be grown advantageously, with benefit to the trees, and will more than cover the cost of maintenance, until they commence to bear.

Double plantings of Pecans, figs, peaches, pomegranates, plums, oranges and other smaller-growing trees may be made to good advantage. These come into bearing early and soon pay the cost of the whole planting.

As an avenue and shade tree, the Pecan is without a superior. Itisa stately tree, long- lived anda rapid grow- er when cared for.

SEEDLING PECANS We have seedling trees grown from large, selected nuts from our own bearing trees. These are much more apt to produce fine nuts than seedlings from a mixed lot of inferior nuts. While we do not recommend seedlings, it is better to plant them than not to plant Pecans at all.

JAPAN WALNUT

In the development of the nut industry, the Japan Walnut is well worthy ofa place in every planting, and no home orchard should be without a few trees. They should be planted on well- drained land, —a sandy or clay loam with a clay foundation is well adapted. The tree is a vigor- ous grower and comes into bearing early. In habit of growth they are low and spreading, reach- ing a height of 15 or 20 feet, with a spread of branch of about the some distance. The leaves are large and handsome. The nuts are borne in clusters of fifteen to twenty. They have rather thick shells, with sweet, plump kernels of very fine quality. They make beautiful lawn or shade trees.

ROSES

Roses are the most important flowering-shrubs of the South. Nowhere in the country do they develop in such beauty or bloom in such profusion. No garden is complete without its rose bed, no planting scheme is perfect which does not provide a place for them.

With few exceptions, the most satisfactory results will be secured by planting Roses grafted on strong growing roots. Nearly all Roses grown from cuttings are vastly inferior, producing poor, weak plants as compared with grafted specimens. Our Roses are strong, grafted plants, grown in the open field,—the kind of Roses that give satisfaction. In planting, the graft union should be placed two or three inches under the surface of the ground.

CLIMBING ROSES are usually regarded as valuable only for porches or trellises. While use- ful for these purposes they are often much more satisfactory as bush Roses. Climbing Roses are strong growers ; given plenty of room and severely pruned, they produce an abundance of bloom never surpassed and not often equaled by the true bush Roses. The ability of a Rose to bloom depends on its ability to grow and produce new wood.

Roses are derived from a number of different classes. These classes are indicated by initial pie in parentheses immediately following the name of the variety. The key to these classes is as follows :

Bk., Banksia; Beng., Bengal; Bour., Bourbon; C. B., Climbing Bengal; C. C., Climbing China; C. N., Climbing Noisette; C. T., Climbing Tea; H. C., Hybrid China; H. N., Hybrid Noisette ; H. P., Hybrid Perpetual; H. T., Hybrid Tea; Mult., Multiflora; N., Noisette; Pol., Polyantha ; P., Prairie ; T., Tea; W., Wichuraiana.

This season we have roughly divided our list according to color to make selections easier.

Shade Trees

Nowhere in the country is shade so acceptable or so necessary as in the South. Whether in park or city street, country road or lawn, shade trees are valued not as luxuries, but as necessities for health and comfort. Nothing adds more to the home grounds, nothing so improves the appear- ance of town or city as well-placed healthy, vigorous shade trees.

The list of trees which is offered to our customers we can strongly recommend for planting throughout the southern states. They are well grown, with straight stems and well developed root systems. Grown in nursery rows for a number of years, they are vastly superior to the trees which may be obtained from the woods.

CAMPHOR (Cinnamomum Camphora). An evergreen tree, of handsome, compact growth, with bright, clean foliage. A strong grower on moist, well-drained lands ; hardy throughout Florida and the greater portion of the Gulf states. Strongly recommended for windbreaks. Now be- ing planted in Florida on a commercial scale for the production of camphor gum.

They make an ex- cellent background for other shrubs.

As plants for porches or porch steps, they are very satisfactory. They are hardy and long- lived. We have tested the list offered for many years and know they will give satisfaction.

SHRUBS AND HEDGE PLANTS

Nothing adds so much to the beauty of the home surroundings, nothing gives so much pleas-

ure as a good lawn and well-placed shrubs and vines.

The number which may be planted will be

governed by the shape and extent of the grounds, but even the smallest lot has a place for a few.

They should be planted in masses, in corners and about the building

s, always leaving a goodly

proportion of open lawn. Aside from their value in beautifying the grounds, they actually increase the money value of a property. A city lot, for instance, with well-grown shade trees and shrubs, is decidedly more valuable than a piece of bare ground.

The varieties offered are those which have been thoroughly tested and which we know will give satisfaction. Our stock is healthy, vigorous and well grown.

ABELIA grandiflora. A beautiful evergreen shrub with dark green glossy leaves becom- ing bronze-colored in winter. Flowers white, funnel-shaped, tinged with pink, delicately sweet-scented, borne in clusters throughout the whole season, from early spring until late autumn. One of our hand- somest shrubs.

Applying Prices.—Five, fifty and five hundred trees of one class at ten, hundred and thou- sand rates, respectively, purchaser’s selection from varieties of one fruit having a common price. For instance, fifty or more peaches, in one or more varieties, would come at the hundred rate, and five hundred or more at the thousand rate. The foregoing does not apply to badly assorted or- ders, or to long lists made up of a few each of many varieties.

Terms Cash with order, if for immediate shipment. Orders for trees to be held for some weeks after the shipping season opens should also be accompanied by full payment. On orders booked in advance of the shipping season 25 per cent down, with the balance due when the ship- ping season opens. We do not care to ship trees C. O. D.

Remittances.—To secure safety and prompt acceptance, remittances should be made by Bank Draft, Express or Post Office Money Order, Registered Letter or Prepaid Express.

Method of Shipment.—Shipping directions should be plainly written and we urge our cus- tomers in all cases, to use our order sheets. We shall be pleased to forward additional ones upon

application. Kindly indicate whether shipment is to be made by freight, express or mail. When method of shipment is left to us, or when no directions are given, we will ship according to our best judgment, by such means as we believe to be in the best interests of our customers.

Our stock is well and carefully packed in paper-lined boxes and bales. For this, no extra charge is made, and neither time nor expense is spared in packing the trees in such shape that they will open up in good fresh condition.

Transportation at Purchaser’s Risk and Expense.—All transportation charges are to be paid by the purchaser, and our responsibility ceases upon delivery, in good order, to forwarding companies ; claims for losses or damages must be made upon the latter. We will, however, start a tracer for delayed shipments, if notified, and use every means at our command to secure prompt delivery, or recovery in case of damage or loss.

Shipping by Mail.—In ordering trees or plants for shipment by mail, add 15 per cent to the list price on the smallest size given, to cover cost of packing and postage. We cannot guarantee trees to come up to size specified in list, as only very small specimens can be sent in this way.

Time of Shipment.—Unless instructed otherwise, orders received during the shipping season will be forwarded as soon after their receipt as possible, and orders baoked in advance will be shipped as soon as may be after the shipping season opens.

The Shipping Season.—November to March for all trees and plants. Gitrus trees can, how- ever, be shipped at any season of year, but, when forwarded during summer months, should be shipped by express.

Selecting Varieties suited to locality is of the first importance, and can often be more advantageously done by ourselves than by purchasers. Weare always glad to aid our customers in their selections, when so desired, and will, upon request, cheerfully furnish additional informa- tion in regard to the adaptability or desirability of particular varieties.

Substitution.—We desire to follow our customers’ wishes in this respect, and have found that they generally wish us to substitute, to the best of our judgment, in case any varieties or sizes ordered are exhausted. We, therefore, substitute when necessary unless instructed to the contrary.

Printed Labels attached with brass wire to everything sent out.

We Guarantee all stock sent out to be well-rooted, well-grown, true to name, properly packed, and shipped according to instructions. Our liability under the foregoing guaranty is limited in amount to the original price received.

Claims.—lIf, by any possibility, errors should occur, they will be promptly rectified, if claim is made within ten days after the receipt of the goods.

Brief Hints on Tree Bene

Soil on which trees are to be set should be thoroughly prepared before planting. A crop of beggarweed, velvet beans or cowpeas grown on the land the previous season makes an excellent

foundation. Plow and pulverize the ground well before planting.

Set stakes where the trees are to stand. Make the rows straight. The orchard will look better and the trees will be easier to care for.

Dig the holes six inches deeper and wider than the spread of the roots.

When trees are received, open the boxes or bales and heel the trees ina shady place. Dig out a trench straight down on one side, sloping out to the ground level on the other, and deep

enough to hold the roots of the trees.

with earth and pack well around them.

Trees should not be left long and are best heeled in only during the time of planting.

Place the trees in the trench side by side, cover the roots

Do not

allow the roots to be exposed to sun or wind at any time. Keep them covered. Prune off broken roots and cut back the tops if they have not already been cut back. Trees will start off much better if well pruned at time of planting. Set trees at the same depth as they stood in the nursery rows. The earth marks on the collar

can be taken asa guide. Use top soil for filling in the holes.

Pack the earth tight around the roots

with the hands and fingers. A pound of good commercial fertilizer thoroughly mixed in the earth with which the holes are filled can be used to good advantage. Do not use stable manure in plant-

ing trees.

If soil is dry, water may be used to advantage, a bucketful or more. Apply the water when the hole is three-quarters filled in. When the water has sunk away, fill in the remainder of the hole with earth, pack well and rake the surface, to leave the earth loose on top.

An orange which is bound to revolutionize the growing of oranges in Florida and adjacent citrus sections

The Lue Gim Gong Orange

This season we are introducing to our customers a new Orange, known as Lue Gim Gong, a late round Orange of unusual merit. During the past quarter of a century or more, a number of new varieties of fruits have been introduced by the Glen St. Mary Nurseries. As a rule, these varieties of fruits of different kinds have made good, and some of them are today the leading varieties in the regions to which they are adapted. We are confident that the Lue Gim Gong Orange will become the most noted late Orange in the country. It will far surpass in value and in reputation any other variety of any kind of fruit we have ever introduced.

ORIGIN. In 1886 Mr. Lue Gim Gong, De Land, Fla., pollinated Harts Late with pollen from what was believed to be a Mediter- ranean Sweet Orange tree. One Orange containing fifteen to eighteen seeds resulted from the crossing. From these seeds about twelve trees were raised no two of which proved to be alike.

The variety, now called Lue Gim Gong, when it came into fruit, seemed to be such an improvement on Harts Late that Mr. Lue budded fifteen trees with this variety on one side, and Harts Late (Tardiff) on the other. About thirty other trees were budded with this variety on one side, and other varieties on the other. Five trees are now solid.

DESCRIPTION. Size large, packing 126 to 176 per box; form oblong, carry- ing the size well out to the rounded ends; color deep orange-red; skin thin, smooth on current crop, becoming rougher on two- and three-year-old fruit; sections well defined, ten or eleven in number; flesh deep orange; juice sacks large; juice abundant, even in old specimens; seeds few, usually four to eight; flavor a rich blending of sweet and sub-acid; quality best. A fine shipping fruit and a good keeper. Tree and fruit both very hardy and resistant to cold.

COMPARISONS. At this time, Harts Late is the standard late Orange of Florida, and it may therefore be well to make comparisons between this new variety and the standard sort. On mae Trae July 6, 1909, Mr. Lue took fifteen

Mr. Lue Gim Gong and One of His Trees boxes of Harts Late (from one side of

above trees) to the packing-house and,

after testing for specific gravity by placing them in water, packed five boxes out of the fifteen. These

were considered to have enough weight for shipping. The five boxes were shipped to North Adams,

Mass. Upon arrival they had to be repacked ata cost of 35 cents per box, and then only three boxes remained, which sold for $2.50 per box.

At the same time, five boxes were picked of the Lue Gim Gong Orange from the other side of the same trees. The fruit was not tested for specific gravity, and all the fruit was shipped. On arrival at North Adams, they did not require repacking, and the whole five boxes brought $4.50 per box.

The Lue Gim Gong Orange is a hardy, thrifty-growing variety. It can be marketed to advan- tage in August, September and October, when other varieties are out of season, and when the only fruit on the markets is Valencia Late, from California.

The fruit hangs on the trees with very little dropping through the rainy season, which in Florida usually begins in June and lasts several weeks. The fruit has been known to hang on the trees, one, two and even three years, in an edible state. There is no question but that this variety marks the beginning of a new era in late Orange culture.

So convinced are we of the merits of this Orange that we have entered into a contract with Mr. Lue Gim Gong for control of the variety. The contract price for the variety we believe far exceeds the price paid for any other Orange, or for any other fruit ever propagated in America. We are preparing to plant heavily of it ourselves in the southern part of the state.

The tree is hardy and vigorous. Planted in the grove of Mr. Lue Gim Gong, near DeLand, Fla., with other varieties of Oranges, it has stood the cold for years past better than any other variety in the grove, and has passed through the several cold snaps practically without injury. The fruit is well distributed over the tree, and it bears well when carrying the crop from the previous year. This is unusual, for, in the case of most varieties of Oranges, if the crop is allowed to hang on the trees until late in the season, the following crop will be light. In habit of growth, the tree produces a well-rounded head, low and spreading, rather than hign and upright.

The remarkable feature about the Lue Gim Gong Orange is the way the fruit hangs on the trees. The fruit could be shipped in June, though still a little too acid. It is good in July, but better in August and Sep- tember. The fruit is full of juice, and hangs on the trees through the rainy summer weather. It can therefore be placed on the market when Oranges are scarce and the highest prices ob- tainable can be secured. The fruit is of good market size, ships and keeps well.

TESTIMONIALS

The merits of the Lue Gim Gong Orange are recognized by all who have become acquainted with it. We might publish a large number of testimonials but the following from some of the men prominent in citrus fruit circles will suffice to show how it is regarded by those who know the fruit.

Mr. W. C. Temple, Tampa, Fla., Secretary and Business Manager of the Florida Citrus Exchange, has done more to systematize_the selling of. Florida Citrus Fruits than any other man in the state. His ability as a grower and a packer of Oranges and ~ grapefruit is too well known to need comment. Under date of June 17, IgII, Mr. Temple wrote us as follows:

“Answering your favor of June 12, es = : Sess Sg Saree wae would say that I have several times in Telling the Story of the New Orange the last three years had occasion to in- vestigate, test and sample the Lue Gim Gong Orange, and would say that I consider it a marvel in the citrus family. I have eaten repeatedly Oranges from the Lue Gim Gong tree that had been hanging matured for two years, and only today ate some that bloomed in February, 1910, which put them through the cold snaps of December, January and February of the past season; and, although those Oranges are grown in a vicinity where much frost damage was done, they show no effect of frost whatever, being sound, solid and full of juice. I myself wish to get some of these Orange trees just the minute you are ready to put them on the market, as I wish to bud a considerable portion of my ‘Alabama’ grove into this variety, as in my opinion the Lue Gim Gong Oranges will give to Florida what California alone now enjoys, viz., an all-the-year-round Orange.”’

An extract from a personal letter from Mr. W. S. Hart, Hawks Park, Fla., sets forth his opinion of the Lue Gim Gong Orange. Mr. Hart has for years stood for all that is best in citrus fruit-growing in Florida, and no man is more competent to pass on the merits of a new variety. He says:

“During the. past two seasons, I have had some oportunity to study the peculiar merits of the Lue Gim Gong Orange, and I can honestly say that I have become convinced that it is the most promising money-producing proposition for the citrus grower now in sight.”’

s

Mr. H. B. Stevens, General Manager of the John B. Stetson Estate, DeLand, Fla., one of Florida’s most noted citrus-growers, has known the Lue Gim Gong Orange for a number of years past. In reply to our letter of inquiry, he writes as follows:

“You ask what I know of the Lue Gim Gong Orange. In reply, will say that I had my attention called to it several years ago, and have watched. it quite closely ever since. Have come to this con- clusion, that it stands more cold, both as a tree and as to the fruit, than any other Orange I have had any experience with. I have noticed that the fruit on the side budded to that variety stands more cold than the Harts Late budded on the opposite side of the same stump. It holds its juice late in the season, better than any other Orange I know of, and bears well. Can not see that the fruit remaining on the tree as late as it does seems to affect the amount of crop the next year. Tak- ing it altogether, I think it promises to be one of the very best varieties we can have.”’

Col. G. B. Brackett, Pomologist, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., has for years been identified with the fruit industries of the country, and has had an opportunity of examining more varieties of fruits than any other man in America. Colonel Brackett was chair- man of the committee which awarded a Wilder Silver Medal from the American Pomological Society for the Lue Gim Gong Orange. He says:

“T have Seminal the specimens carefully, and upon their merits I have given my approval for the variety a Wilder Silver Medal, and have so informed (the Secretary) Prof. John Craig. I am having a painting made of the varicty for placing on file here. This is a rare good Orange, and I am glad you are taking an interest init. . . . This fruit is worthy, and I am glad to recognize its value by medal award.”

Wilder Medal. The most noted horticultural organization in the country today, as it has been for the past sixty years, is the American Pomological Society. This Society, recognizing the merits of the Lue Gim Gong Orange, awarded a Wilder silver medal to this variety. We believe this is the first time a Wilder medal has been awarded for a new variety of Orange since the Society was organ- ized, and gives a fair idea of the estimation in which this fruit is held by experts.

To every tree of this Orange sent out, a facsimile reproduction of the Wilder Medal, awarded by the American Pomological Society for the Lue Gim Gong Orange, will be fastened. This marks the tree as genuine stock—Glen Saint Mary grown.

PRICE.—The price of Lue Gim Gong Orange trees will be $3 per tree, regardless of size or number of trees purchased. The trees will be graded in our regular sizes, 2 to 3 feet, 3 to 4 feet, and 5 to 7 feet grades. The earliest orders received will be filled with the largest sizes, and will be 4 to 5 feet, handled strictly in rotation. They will be pruned for planting before being sent out. Trees mostly on sour-orange stock. We can furnish a limited number on Citrus trifoliata stock.

While the price may be considered high by some, when compared with prices on other varieties, yet, when the real merits of the variety are considered, the price is low. Never, we venture to say, has a fruit tree of equal merit been presented to the public and sold at so low a figure. The first box of Oranges shipped out of the usual orange season in August or September will pay, or more than pay, for the tree which bore it.
