CITRUS, Oneco, continued Glen St. Mary Nurseries, Glen St. Mary, Fla., Jan. 19,1900. "The sample of Oneco Mandarin sent me, has arrived and been sampled. It is of full, medium size for the Man- darin type. The color of skin is red, like Tangierine, and it also possesses a decided Tangierine aroma, although this is not so distinct as in Dancy Tangierine. The fruit is of good quality, and reminds one of Satsuma, Tangierine and King blended. It is very much superior to the China." G. L. Taber, President Fla. Sort. Society. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 26,1900. (In issue of Farmer and Fruit-Grower.) * In physical characteristics, color, size, corrugated (though glossy) peel, the sample partook more of the Tan- gierine in the blending; but in juice characteristics we think it inclined to the Mandarin. Taken as a whole, it (Oneco Mandarin) is a grand fruit; it recalls the tradi- tions of the unsurpassable Florida Orange in the days of the famous triumvirate, Hart, Phelps and Hubbard." S. Powers, Editor. Ovtedo, Fla., Dec. 27, 1899. * * * * "Mrs. Mead and I sampled the Oneco hybrid Mandarin, and agree that it is delicious, and an improve- ment on the sorts we are familiar with, especially in its juiciness and melting quality, most Mandarins and Tan- gierines being inclined to 'rag' even when the septa are removed before eating the pulp." Theodore L. Mead. Prices, on trifoliata stock: 12 to 18 inches high, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.; 18 to 30 inches, 85 cts. each, $8.50 per doz.; 30 to 48 inches, $1 each, $10 per doz. On seedling mandarin roots, staked, very- nice: 2 to 3 feet, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.; 3 to 4 feet, 85 cts. each, $8.50 per doz.; 4 to 5 feet, $1 each, $10 per doz. Not over a dozen sold to one party, and no bud-wood for sale. Satsuma. From Japan, where it is called Un- shiu. Tree very low in habit, and having peculiar large leaves with prominent veins. Fruit is of fair quality and very early, which makes it valuable for market; rather dark orange skin, rough; nearly seedless flesh, with very silky divisions. The tree grown on trifoliata stock is very hardy, and is specially recommended with the Oneco for the Gulf states.
