The acreage under oranges is increasing fast, but the demand for the fruit so far exceeds the supply that large imports are made from the Central Provinces and a few other sources. Nevertheless there are many orange orchards which find it difficult to make a profit. The present bulletin is issued in order to place before the public the methods which have been found to yield the best result and give the largest profit, not only with oranges, but also with other kinds of citrus fruits. The citrus fruits commonly cultivated in Bombay belong to three species, distinguished as follows: - 1. The juice sacks in the fruit are easily separated from one another and do not adhere into one mass. The young shoots and leaves of the plant are hairy. Citrus decumana, the Pomelo. 2. The juice sacks in the fruit are not easily separated from one another and adhere in one mass. The young shoots and loaves of the plant are not hairy. (a) The fruits are mammillate, that is to say, the stigma end is more or less distinctly produced. Citrus Medico, the Citron and its varieties. (b) The fruits are not mammillate, that is to say, the stigma end is flattened. Citrus aurantium, the orange and its varieties. Citrus decumana, the Pomelo (Marathi-Papnas: Kanarese - Pampari) occurs in two forms, with white pulp and red pulp, respectively. The fruit and leaves of the pomelo are the largest of all among the citrus fruits. The red variety generally fetches a bettor price than the white. An intermediate variety, with pink flesh, is occasionally found. Citrus Medico is found in four distinct varieties as follows: - (a) Citrus Medico proper, the Citron (Marathi - Mahalung; Gujarati - Bijoura or Turanj: Kanarese - Madalada hannu). The fruit of this variety is large, weighing up to three pounds, the skin is warty and rough, and the rind very thick (sometimes more than an inch thick) with a carrot-like consistency. The pulp is somewhat bitter and acid, pale white in colour. The tree on which this variety is produced is rounded and flattened from above, and has generally yellowish appearance. The fruit is used for pickles, preserves, and marmalade. It is rarely, however, cultivated alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
