To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


It has been said by so eminent an authority as Wickson (California Fruits, Chapter XXX, p.356) that "the orange root is the best foundation for an orange tree, and the seed of the seedling sweet orange is the main reliance". The sweet-orange, however, would appear to be a surface-growing stock which has few deeply penetrating roots. In the Uni- Digitized by Google v^crsity of California Experiment Station trials, the sour- J^J orange stock has been found to be decidedly hardier, and in every wa
...y better than the sweet-orange stock. Among its other good qualities, it is resistant to alkali.
But the pomelo is deservedly becoming the favourite stock in southern California. Its laterals are found at a greater depth than the laterals of the sweet orange; it pro- duces more fibrous roots than does either of the other stocks, and the tree is consequently a ravenous feeder. It has suc- ceeded better at the Experiment Station of the University of California than has the sour stock, which seems to lack uniformity of root growth, sometimes having but few lat- erals, in which case the crops are small.
