THE CITRUS FRUITS.
THE citrus fruits include the orange, lemon, grape fruit, tangerine, kumquat and lime. All of these fruits are grown in the citrus belt, but the oranges, lemons and the grape fruit are the most important of the citrus fruits.

The sour orange is used principally as stock on which to graft the sweet varieties. The fruit of the
