Maltese Oval. The beautiful specimens of this or- ange exhibited at the Sanford exposition the past winter attracted a great deal of attention; it is a perfect oval, with smooth, dense glossy peel, and \ ranks with the other Malta oranges in quality; tree \* entirely thornless. Majorca. From the eastern Mediterranean; tree re- sembles the Jaffa; fruit similar, but averages a little smaller, and not quite as highly colored; de- sirable in every respect. Magnum Bonum. Large, flattened, light clear or- ange; skin smooth and glossy; flesh light colored, fine grained, tender and melting; an excellent V shipper, as well as the best quality; tree very vig- orous grower; thorny; a native seedling. Mediterranean Sweet. This variety was introduced into California some years ago by Thomas A. Garey, and with the exception of Washington Navel, has been and still is the favorite; fruit medium size, oblong, nearly seedless, very tender and juicy; tree entirely thornless; a vigorous grower, bears young and is very prolific; of the above there are two varieties in this state, which are similar in almost every respect, the only differ- V ence being that the fruit of one is round, while Mr. V Garey's is oblong. Mediterranean Sweet, Garey's. See above. Nonpariel. Size above ordinary; color, clear dark orange; skin smooth; pulp very tender, melting and vinous; tree vigorous and symmetrical; took \ first prize at the State Fair, 1S78, and has since prov- V ed all that
