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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citrus Fruits in Hawaii Oranges, lemons, limes, and pomelos have all found a congenial home in Hawaii. 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. These circumstances have seemed to make it desirable to give a statement Of common practices in citrus culture, with special reference to their application to Hawaiian conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Culture of Citrus Fruits Under the Climatic and Geographical Conditions Pertaining to the Murray Valley During the expansion of the citrus industry that has within recent years taken place along the Murray Valley the absence of any book of a general nature dealing with the culture of citrus fruits under local conditions has often been a considerable handicap to new growers in the laying out and management of their plantations.

Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of Small Island, “a bittersweet exploration of an outsider’s experience of British culture” (Bookmarks). Faith Jackson knows little about her parents’ lives before they moved to England. Happy to be starting her first job in the costume department at BBC television, and to be sharing a house with friends, Faith is full of hope and expectation. But when her parents announce that they are moving “home” to Jamaica, Faith’s fragile sense of her identity is threatened. Angry and perplexed as to why her parents would move to a country they so rarely mention, Faith becomes increasingly aware of the covert and public racism of her daily life, at home and at work. At her parents’ suggestion, in the hope it will help her to understand where she comes from, Faith goes to Jamaica for the first time. There she meets her Aunt Coral, whose storytelling provides Faith with ancestors, whose lives reach from Cuba and Panama to Harlem and Scotland. Branch by branch, story by story, Faith scales the family tree, and discovers her own vibrant heritage, which is far richer and wilder than she could have imagined. “Levy has chosen her title shrewdly: like the lemon, her loaded satire is bright and alluring, but its bite is sharp.” —Booklist “Levy’s raw sense of realism and depth of feeling infuses every line.” —Elle “Bright and inventive . . . Levy’s command of voices, whether English or Jamaican, is fine, fresh and funny.” —The Observer
Download or read book Oranges written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic of reportage, Oranges was first conceived as a short magazine article about oranges and orange juice, but the author kept encountering so much irresistible information that he eventually found that he had in fact written a book. It contains sketches of orange growers, orange botanists, orange pickers, orange packers, early settlers on Florida's Indian River, the first orange barons, modern concentrate makers, and a fascinating profile of Ben Hill Griffin of Frostproof, Florida who may be the last of the individual orange barons. McPhee's astonishing book has an almost narrative progression, is immensely readable, and is frequently amusing. Louis XIV hung tapestries of oranges in the halls of Versailles, because oranges and orange trees were the symbols of his nature and his reign. This book, in a sense, is a tapestry of oranges, too—with elements in it that range from the great orangeries of European monarchs to a custom of people in the modern Caribbean who split oranges and clean floors with them, one half in each hand.
Download or read book A World of Its Own written by Matt Garcia and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2010-01-27 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the history of intercultural struggle and cooperation in the citrus belt of Greater Los Angeles, Matt Garcia explores the social and cultural forces that helped make the city the expansive and diverse metropolis that it is today. As the citrus-growing regions of the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys in eastern Los Angeles County expanded during the early twentieth century, the agricultural industry there developed along segregated lines, primarily between white landowners and Mexican and Asian laborers. Initially, these communities were sharply divided. But Los Angeles, unlike other agricultural regions, saw important opportunities for intercultural exchange develop around the arts and within multiethnic community groups. Whether fostered in such informal settings as dance halls and theaters or in such formal organizations as the Intercultural Council of Claremont or the Southern California Unity Leagues, these interethnic encounters formed the basis for political cooperation to address labor discrimination and solve problems of residential and educational segregation. Though intercultural collaborations were not always successful, Garcia argues that they constitute an important chapter not only in Southern California's social and cultural development but also in the larger history of American race relations.
