POMONA NURSERIES — NURSERY DEPARTMENT 3 The Sonr Orange as a Stock.—The sour orange has been extensively used as a stock in the past. Makes a handsome large grove tree, but the young trees are not of as rapid a growth as the sweet orange or rough lemon. Trees budded upon it usually produce crops of choice fruit from four to six years from planting. The Sweet Orange as a Stock.—The sweet orange is a favorite stock with many planters, some claiming that the fruit is of better quality, and that the trees are more hardy and longer lived. Young trees budded upon it grow off vigorously, make handsome grove trees, and we consider them somewhat more hardy than trees budded on sour orange or the rough lemon. Trees budded upon sweet orange usually produce fruit in from four to six years from planting. Rough Lemon as a Stock.— The rough lemon is the most vigorous stock for young trees. Trees budded on it are very tender, and should not be planted where there is danger from freezes. It is well adapted for planting in the extreme southern portion of Florida, and is especially adapted to the lower East Coast, Cuba and other West India Islands, Mexico and Central American countries. Trees which are budded on rough lemon usually produce choice fruit in from three to 4-5 feet. 3~t feet. 2-3 feet. five The Citrus Trifoliata as a Stock. — The citrus trifoKaia, when used as a stock for the orange or grapefruit, imparts hardiness, productive- ness and early bearing qualities to the variety budded on it. The use of citrus trifoliata as a stock is not an absolute protection against dam- age from frost during our most severe seasons, yet it materially in- creases hardiness by keeping the trees in a dormant condition duri
