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.

Trees on Citrus Trifoliata Stock 


Citrus trifoliata is the hardiest species of Citrus known in this country. It is deciduous, grows 
well in the open ground as far north as Washington, D. C., and withstands temperatures of 15° 
below zero and lower.

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.

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. 


Persian Lime. Large size, about the same as an ordinary lemon, 


smooth, very juicy, with strong, clear acid. Tree strong grower and good 
bearer. A desirable Lime.

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.

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.

VARIETIES OF PEACHES DESCRIBED 


The abbreviations in parentheses below, following the names of varieties, indicate the race to 
which they belong. Thus, (Sp.) means that the variety belongs to the Spanish race; (Per.), to the 
Persian race; (N.C.), Northern Chinese; (Hon.), Honey; (P-to), Peen-to; (O. B.), Oriental 
Bloods. The dates given for the usual 


time of ripening are based on northern 
Florida. 


Admiral Dewey. (Per.) Fruit of 
good size; skin deep orange-yellow, 
with crimson cheek ; tlesh clear yellow 
to the stone, juicy, melting, vinous; 
quality very good. June I to Io. 


Alexander. (Per.) Large; highly 
colored; flesh greenish white, juicy, 
vinous, of fair quality; cling. One of 
the earliest of the Persiantype. About 
June rt. 


Angel. (P.-to.) Large, rounded, 
slightly pointed; color yellow, washed 
with red, very handsome: flesh white, 
sweet, melting, juicy, subacid, of ex- 
quisite flavor, entirely lacking in bitter 
almond flavor; freestone. The tree 
bears while young, and is very prolific. 
It blooms a month later than Peen-to, 
thus escaping injury from frost in 
many sections. Highly recommended. 
June 20 to 30. 


Belle of Georgia. (N. C.) Very 


large; skin white, with red cheek; Angel Peach 

flesh white, firm and of excellent fla- 

vor; fruit uniformly large and showy; free. Bidwell’s Late. (P.-to.) A seedling of Peen- 
Rapid grower, prolific. July 1 to 15. to, originated at Orlando, Fla., and the best of 


Bidwell’s Early. (P.-to.) A seedling of the the ‘“‘Bidwell” varieties. Shape nearly round; 
Peen-to. Shape roundish oblong, with short, ‘SIZ€ large; color yellowish white; flesh fine- 
recurved point; size medium; skin creamy grained, sweet and juicy; clingstone. Matures 
white, washed with carmine; flesh fine-grained, about three weeks later than Peen-to. Quality 
melting, juicy and sweet, with slight noyau fla- excellent. This has proved a sure bearer farther 
vor; clingstone. Matures about thesametime north in Florida than most other varieties of 
as Peen-to, but continues duringalonger period; the same origin, and is one of the most desir- 
one of the most satisfactory Peaches to grow. able sorts. 


15 


Honey. (Hon.) Medium size, oval, com- 
pressed, with deep suture on one side, extend- 
ing more than half way round, and terminating 
in a sharp, peculiar, recurved point; skin 
whitish yellow, washed and marbled with red 
in the sun; flesh creamy white, fine, juicy, 
melting, with peculiar honeyed, rich, sweet 
flavor; quality excellent; free. June 5 to 20.

long ; skin greenish yellow, washed with red; 
flesh white, sweet, juicy, of excellent flavor and 
good tone; quality best; free. Originated by 
ourselves. June 25 to July 5. 


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.

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.

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

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.

Old Frotscher Pecan Trees 


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. 

We emphasize the 
facts that our trees are 
true to name and well 
grown. They are

The Pecan and Its Culture

has been prepared after a number of years’ careful study of the industry. The book is practical and 
contains the information needed by every Pecan grower. Price 75 cts., postpaid. 


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.

These plants make beautiful individual lawn 
specimens. The different colors—yellow green, 
dark green and blue green—give a striking 
effect when planted in masses, either when 
groups are made up of a single kind or of a 
number of different kinds. 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. Ween upen

Partial view of the Rose Nursery 


Terms of Business 


Location. Our Nurseries are one and one-half miles southwest of Glen Saint Mary, Baker 
county, Florida, a station on the Seaboard Air Line Railway, thirty miles west of Jacksonville. 

Long Distance Telephone in our office. 

Glen Saint Mary is a freight, express and telegraph station. 

Invitation to Visitors.-_We take pleasure in showing our stock to persons wishing to pur- 
chase, and, if notified in time, will meet visitors at the station on arrival. 

No Agents.—We employ no agents, and have no connection with any other nursery. Trees 
sold to dealers must be resold by them upon their own responsibility. We are responsible only to 
parties purchasing direct from our Nurseries. 

Club Orders.—Neighbors can sometimes club together and have one of their number place 
order for all, thus often securing lower prices on account of larger number of trees ordered. 

Minimum Orders.—We do not care to accept orders amounting to less than $2. 

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 


48 


ae tes of sat Bee 


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-

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.
