(Budded on Trifoliate Stocks.) THE SATSUMA. This is probably the most desirable Orange for pot culture in existence. Being of very dwarf habit, it requires but limited space, and its fruiting capacitj' is enormous. One lady in Virginia reports that her tree ripened 43 full-sized oranges the second year after she obtained it fi'om us, and this wlien confined to the limits of an 8-inch pot. The fruit is lai-ge and much flattened, wholly seedless, and of most exquisite flavor, belonging to the group known as "kid-glove oranges. ' The rind parts readily from the pulp, and can be removed without soiling the fingers. Unlike most other Oranges, the tree frequently blooms at different times during the season, and will have on at times blossoms, green and ripe fruit together. Orange trees are of easy culture in the conservatory, requiring only a moderate amount of attention; any good, rich garden soil will answer, and the pot or tub should not be larger than just su cient to accomodate the roots. This should be plunged in the open ground in summer, and when plants need repotting, it should be done in the fall, when they are taken in. Remember, these are budded trees from bearing wood, and will bloom and produce fruit the year after you get them. Price of fine plants by mail, 50 cts. each. THE KUMQUAT.

When preserved whole in sugar it makes a most delicious conserve. The tree is very pro- lific, and we have had hundreds of fruits on trees but four feet in height. Its dwarf
