Bulletin of the of Agriculture . P9343HP AND P9344HP Typical Fruits of the Long Strain of the Washington Navel Orange. Bui. 623, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. Plate PI028A-HP Typical Fruits of the Corrugated Strain of the Washington Navel Orange. BUD VAKIATION IN THE WASHINGTON NAVEL OEANGE. 21 ton trees. The habit of growth is open and drooping and the foliagesemidense, in some cases the leaves being rather small and sharplypointed. The fruits, illustrations of which are shown in Plate VIII, figures1,2, and 3, usually are globular in shape and of small to mediumsize. The rind is thin and has a ribbed appearance, but is fairlysmooth. The color usually is dull orange. The rag is tender andsmall in quantity, and the juice is abundant and of good flavor andquality. The fruit is seedless and the navel small and incon-spicuous. The principal objections to this strain from the commer-cial standpoint are the small size of the fruits and their fluted appear-ance. The fruits of this strain have been found to occur as occasionalindividual fruit sports in trees of Washington and other strains, andinfrequently as limb sports in Washington and Thomson trees.
