The majority of the horticultural varieties cultivated in America have originated in Floriila, though some valu- able sorts have been introduci-d. The round-fruited sorts, commonly called Pomelos or Grape-fruits, are the most valuable commercially. The pear-shaped sorts, or Shaddocks, are cultivated more as curiosities, and are seldom found in the markets. Bound varieties —Pome!ns: CITKUS Aurautium : Fr. late medium, size medium.
