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

means as we believe to be in the best interests of our customers.

All transportation charges are to be paid by the purchaser, and our
responsibility ceases upon delivery, in good order, to forwarding companies;

In ordering trees or plants for shipment by mail, add 15 per cent, to the

November to March is the best shipping season for all trees and plants.
Citrus trees can, however, be shipped at any season of year, but summer
shipments must be by express.

often be more advantageously done by ourselves than by purchasers. We are
always glad to aid our customers in their selections, when so desired, and will,
upon request, cheerfully furnish additional information 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

Naomi Nurseries, Inc., Naomi, La.

A Word of Introduction.

The South continues to develop along all lines, agriculturally and horti-
culturally leading all other sections of this great country of ours. Realizing
this, and feeling that there is a field for a nursery conducted along the proper
lines and growing trees cultivated and adapted for planting in this vicinity,
the Naomi Nurseries, Incorporated, makes bid for your patronage.

Our Nurseries are located at Naomi, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, about
twenty miles Southeast of the City of New Orleans, on the line of the New
Orleans Southern & Grand Isle R. R., and fronting on the Mississippi River,
giving the advantage of water as well as rail transportation.

It will be the aim of this Company to supply the very best fruit and
ornamental trees, shrubs, palms, roses, etc., for planting in the Southern and
Gulf Coast States.

Our business principles may be summed up as follows:

To give our best personal attention to all orders.

To ship goods promptly and insure their reaching our patrons in good
condition.

To send out no tree or plant we would hesitate to plant ourselves.

To invite correspondence on any subject pertaining to our business.

To place our services at the disposal of our patrons, and furnish advice
and information on anything pertaining to our line.

Citrus Fruits.

The varieties that we list are the ones that have been found best adapted
for planting in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast country, which include a few of
the standard varieties of Round Oranges, Grape Fruit, Mandarine, Tangerine,
Satsuma and Kumquats. We offer trees grown on Trifoliata and Sour Orange
stocks.

CITRUS TRIFOLIATA. Is probably the hardiest known species of the
Citrus family. It is deciduous in its habits, shedding its leaves and hardening
its growth early in the fall, and remaining perfectly dormant until spring.
Fruit produced on trees budded on Citrus Trifoliata usually ripens from two
to three weeks earlier than on other roots.

SOUR ORANGE. Will be found, all things considered, the most satis-
factory stock used. It is adapted to most of our different kinds of soil and
does remarkably well in heavy moist soil. It develops an especially deep root
system and is a vigorous grower.

Naomi Nurseries, Inc., Naomi, La.

Oranges.

SATSUMA.

This is unquestionably the hardiest known orange and this, in connection
with its early ripening and fine quality, makes it an exceedingly valuable sort.
It is medium size, color deep orange, flesh fine-grained, tender, juicy, sweet
and delicious. Tree entirely thornless. Ripens in September, October and
November.

PINEAPPLE. During recent years
this fruit has attained a great amount
of prominence. It is of excellent var-
iety. Fruit medium to large, peel thin
but tough, very smooth and bright.

MANDARIN. Size medium, deep
yellow, flattened, skin thin, flesh dark
orange yellow. In Southern Louisiana
the Mandarin is planted as one of the
most profitable kinds.

PARSON BROWN. Size medium,
round or slightly oblong, peel smooth,
quality good, keeps and ships well.

WASHINGTON NAVEL. The fruit
is large to very large, somewhat oval,
flesh meaty, tender, sweet and highly
flavored. While this variety does not
hear heavily when budded on sour
orange roots, it has proven a very
prolific sort on Citrus roots.

DU GAT. It is highly esteemed as
one of the hardiest varieties and of
excellent quality.

BOONE. Size medium, quality
good, early variety, strong vigorous
growth. By some it is considered
better than Parson Brown.

TANGERINE. Flat, small to med-
ium, skin separates freely from the
flesh, juicy, aromatic, rich, deep red.
Belongs to the Mandarin group.

HOMOSASSA. Size medium, some-
what flattened, skin very smooth, thin,
pulp fine sweet and juicy. Keeps and
cajTies well. Vigorous and prolifip^
v _OU ISI AN A SWEET, or Creole
Sweet. This is the orange “par excel-
lence” for planting in Louisiana. Me-
dium to large size, smooth skin, bright,
round. Introduced from the Mediter-
ranean countries many years ago;
this variety has become native and is
the orange that has made famous
Citrus Fruit growing in Louisiana.
We strongly recommend a liberal
planting of this unequaled variety.

Varieties of Hardy Grape Fruit or Pomelo.

MARSH SEEDLESS. The most
generally popular Grapefruit grown.
Trees when budded on Citrus trifoliata
are extremely resistant to the cold,

standing nearly as much freezing
weather as Satsuma Orange. Very
productive and bears extremely young.
The fruit is of most popular size, med-
ium to large, nearly seedless and of
exceptional quality and flavor.

TRIUMPH. A strong growing,
early fruiting and very prolific variety.
Very resistant to cold when grown on
Citrus Trifoliata roots. Fruit small
to medium, matures early, making it
particularly valuable.

DUNCAN. A variety that has been
more largely planted in Louisiana and
along the Gulf Coast than any other.
Has proven exceptionally resistant to
frost damage, and wonderfully pro-
ductive. Its fine quality, good appear-
ance, hardiness and prolificness strong-
ly recommend it as the leading variety.

Lemons and Limes.

Lemons and Limes are worthy of the consideration of any one engaging
in Citrus Fruit growing. They are popular fruits and are gaining in popularity
every year, especially Limes. Trees vigorous, healthy and very productive.

KENEDY LEMON. A most remark-
able Lemon, produces annually from
2,500 to 4,000 Lemons, ripening con-
tinuously throughout the year. It is
a Lemon of good size, large pointed^
at ends, skin somewhat leathery, tough
and comparatively smooth, pulp is full
of juice, containing a surprisingly
large quantity of fine, spicy, citric acid,
keeping qualities excellent, the fruit
having been kept in perfect condition
for six months. Tree is of a strong,
upright growth, coming into bearing
at an early age. Every one of the
Lower South planting citrus trees
should have one of these.

PONDEROSA LEMON. Sometimes
called American Wonder. It is excep-
tionally large, weighing from 1% to
2y2 pounds, very juicy, good quality,
rind very thin for such a large fruit.

Bears when quite young. It is very
valuable as a home fruit.

VILLA FRANCA LEMON.

Variety

mercial Lemon Orchards. Medium
size, rind smooth, thin and sweet,
juicy, acid, very strong and fine qual-
ity. Tree vigorous, upright grower,
c^r jr prolific.

^FLORIDA KEYS LIMES. Com-
mence bearing at from three to four
years of age, and produce immense
crops of limes, ripening during the
summer, and often hanging on the
trees well into the fall and winter.
These limes are becoming a valuable
commercial commodity, and as the
demand far exceeds the supply, it
warrants more extensive planting.
Size medium measuring iy2 inches in
diameter, usually slightly oblong. A
grove of Florida Keys Limes given
the same care and attention usually
given an orange or grapefruit grove
would rival it as a wealth producer.

PERSIAN SEEDLESS LIMES. Of

foreign origin. Size large, seedless,
skin smooth and thin, very juicy and

extensively grown

in California com-

of good quality. Quite tender.

SQUARE

METHOD.

Multiply

the distance

in feet between

the rows by

the distance

the plants

are apart

in the rows.

and the product

will be the

number of square feet for each plant or hill; which, divided into the number
of feet in an acre (43,560) will give the number of plants or trees to an acre.

EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE METHOD. Divide the number required to
the acre “square method” by the decimal .866. The result will be the number
of plants required to the acre this method.
