Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citrus Culture in Hawaii Many growers have successfully ripened citrus fruit with out infestation by bagging it. In a study of the best methods Of protecting the fruit, the station used medium-weight brown paper bags, and medium-weight cellophane bags to cover grape fruit, oranges, mandarins, and limes. Four-pound bags were used for grapefruit, three-pound bags for oranges, and two pound bags for mandarins and for limes. The bags were put on when the fruit was still green and nearly full grown. The bag was placed about the fruit and tied tightly enough to prevent the entry of water in case of rain; A workman can place 50 to 150 bags per hour, depending on the convenience of reaching the fruit. No foliage Should be bagged with the fruit. Although much rain fell during November and December, 1931, most of the bags were in good condition for from 30 to 50 days, when the fruit was picked. When the fruit ripened - those in the cello phane bags had deeper yellow coloring and possibly better flavor than the fruits in the paper bags.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citrus Fruits and Their Culture The closing decades of the nineteenth century have seen great changes in the principles of citrus fruit culture in America. Twenty years ago the amount of fruit produced was comparatively small, now the industry has attained a place among the large horticultural industries of this country. Then, at most, a few hundred boxes of fruit were produced annually; now the crop is counted not by hundreds but by millions of boxes. The pomelo was scarcely known and the lemon was a fruit imported almost entirely from the Old World. Then, the means of transportation closed many a desirable tract of land through which the railroad now runs and from which large quantities of fruit are now shipped. Then, the methods of combating insects and fungous diseases were less perfectly understood than now. In those days, the fertilizers applied to the soil were mostly made at home, now the nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, deemed so essential for the production of first-class fruit, in many districts, can be obtained as commercial commodities in any market. Numerous devices are now successfully employed in protecting trees and fruit against the effects of frost and freeze, then, nothing of the kind was attempted or in fact deemed necessary. Then, cover crops were not considered in the light in which they now are. Then, the citrus industry in the New World was more or less firmly linked to that of the Old. Now, we have an American industry on the large, broad lines of American progress. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

During the past eight years the investigations have been confined prin cipally to a determination Of the cultural requirements and methods Of improving the species. Completion Of the work has been greatly retarded because Of the unsettled habits Of the plant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1903-'04, San Dimas Citrus Nurseries The destination of this shipment of California-grown Washing ton Navel orange trees is suggestive. For instanee, Sicily has a population of about and among her exports the orange and the lemon represent an annual value of the town of Messina has a population of some and exports citrus fruits to the value of and the essence of or ange, lemon, and Bergamot in the sum of Naples has half a million population, and exports worth of fruit; Sicilia, Which is the largest island in the Mediterranean, grows much fruit'in the warm and sheltered sections. Think of California Washington Navel trees nodding to the breeze in the presence of Mt. Etna, or casting their fragrance on the summer air on the historic ground where N ero fiddled and saw Rome burn, and Where Hannibal exercised his prowess as a warrior in the Punic wars. The exports of citrus fruits from Italy also afford a study in supply and demand. From them it can clearly be seen that citrus culture in this country is far from being overdone; quite to the contrary, it is only in the formative period. But to consider that California, the youngest citrus-producing country, should be ex porting citrus trees to the oldest, is certainly a compliment to our advanced methods. We believe that Mr. Teague can justly be considered the pioneer in this sort of enterprise, as he has re cently filled orders for South Africa, Australia, and other equally distant points. This not only affords a solace to our pride as a horticultural people, but gives strength to the conviction that our advantages are unequalled. - [from The Pomona Times.

Download or read book Citrus Culture in Porto Rico Classic Reprint written by Henry C. Henricksen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citrus Culture in Porto Rico That the citrus tree is not very exacting as to its soil requirements is well illustrated by the fact that the groves are found on soils covering a wide range from beach sand to heavy clay. A systematic study of existing groves reveals differences in growth of tree due to soils which were not readily discernible at the time of planting. This is true especially of the region between Bayamon and Arecibo, which is bordered by the ocean on one side and by the railroad and in places by the public highway on the other. The soils of this region vary from sand that is almost devoid of colloidal matter to clay containing less than 25 per cent sand. The growth of the trees fur nishes information regarding the chief limitation of each soil type. The white sand is poor because it does not retain enough moisture and plant nutrients to supp] the needs of the trees under existing conditions. The darker san containing 2 to 3 per cent colloidal matter, of which about 1 per cent is organic, is excellent, provided the subsoil is pervious and the water level is not too variable. The red sandy soils containing upwards of 10 per cent colloidal matter are suitable for tree growth, provided they do not cement. Cementa tion is caused by the high amount of iron and the colloidal state in which it is present in these soils, and it prevents the trees from devel oping properly. The clay soils in this region vary from 20 to 60 per cent clay and are similar to those found in other regions. The soil at Plantaje, both surface and subsoil, in which the first commercial grove on the island was planted, consists of shell sand. With the formation of land at this point, silt was deposited in the lower places, whereas the slight ridges remained practically pure sand. A heavy hammock growth developed, especially in the silt covered areas, and after it was removed considerable humus re mained. The difference between the poorest and the best soils in these groves is readily discernible by the color of soil. Analyses show a difference of 2 to 3 per cent in colloid content, practically all of which is organic matter. In the better grade of this soil tree growth is excellent, and even in the poorest grade the trees develop much better than they do under different conditions.
