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.

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.

Indeed, the orange is sometimes thought of by the casual Observer as being indigenous, so eminently suitable have the soil and climate proved to be. When properly cared for and fertilized some Of the native orange trees produce fruits unexcelled in point Of flavor and juiciness, bearing little resemblance to the very indifferent specimens Often found in the markets, which have been picked green, dumped into casks without curing, and sent into the market. These facts are in striking contrast with the statistics, showing that between and worth Of citrus fruits were imported into Honolulu alone in the year ended January 27, 1905. Considerable quantities have also arrived at the ports Of Hilo and Mahukona direct from San Francisco.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Propagation and Marketing of Oranges in Porto Rico An abundance of orange trees growing wild in a certain locality will indicate the natural fitness of that locality for orange culture, but does not by any means show that a cultivated orange tree will succeed as well as the wild specimen. Under natural conditions the fruits drop and the seeds scatter, and if conditions are favorable germination takes place. But out of the thousands of seeds germinating each season only a few seedlings can be found next season, and perhaps a couple of years hence there will be but one or two sturdy specimens left. If those same seeds were planted and cared for nearly all of them would probably grow to maturity, but certainly not all would succeed as well, even under the improved cultural conditions.
