CITRUS TRIFOLIATA TWIG WITH NEW LEAVES. Citrus Fruits. Our specialty in Citrus Fruits— Satsuma on Trifoliate—Hardy Orange on Hardy Stock. The Trifoliata. (Citrus trifoliata, Limonium trifoliatum, JEgle sefiaria and Citrus triptera of botanists.) During the last few years, the Trifoliata has attracted more attention among the Orange-growers and Citri-culturists of this country, particularly in Florida and the sub-tropical region of the Gulf, than any other member of the Citrus family. Its value as a stock for Oranges and other Citrus Fruits (as well as for hedges and ornamental planting) is now well determined by experimental planting extending over a period of more than twenty years. Characteristics.—Unlike most of our cultivated Citrus Fruits, it is not a hybrid, sport or derived sort, but a primitive, wild species, reproducing itself practically without variation from the seed. It is a native of Japan, where it grows wild, and has long been used as a stock for cultivated varieties of the Orange. It is deciduous, has dark, glossy green, trifoliate leaves, and is thickly studded with stout thorns. It bears young (in 4 to 6 years from the seed), the fruit being inedible. Its habit of growth is peculiar, being very angular and distinct. It iS entirely hardy throughout the Lower South, being unaffected by such frosts and freezes as occur in this region. Specimens, entirely unprotected, have stood the winters uninjured for years as far north as Washington. Resistance to Adverse Conditions.—The Trifoliata stands neglect and exposure to extremes of tempera- ture or excesses of moisture or dryness with less injury than any other species of Citrus with which we are acquainted, and its immunity from the attacks of diseases and insects is remarkable. Not a Small Tree.—In Japan the Trifoliata attains a height of 20 to 25 feet, and it will undoubtedly grow as large here. Some of the older Trifoliata trees in the Gulf region have reached a height of 15 to 20 feet with a diameter of 4 inches, and there are many young trees 10 to 15 feet high. As a Hedge Plant.—The vigor of the Trifoliata, its hardiness, resistant qualities, stout thorns, and the ease with which it is confined in a small space, make it an ideal hedge plant. It forms an impenetrable barrier to man and beast, and with proper care can be made rabbit-proof. Unquestionably the best hedge plant for the Lower South.
