FOR THE FLORIDA AGRIcULTURIsT.
Orange and Lemon Culture in Sicily.


WALLACE s. JONES, U. s. CONSUL, MEssINA.
INFLUENCE OF THE SOIL UPON THE MA
TURING AND KEEPING QUALITIES OF THE
CITRI-COST OF PACKING METHOD OF
EXTRACTING THE ESSENCE FROM THE
PEEL OF THE ORANGE, THE LEMON AND
THE BERGAMONT-LEMON-J RAW AND
CONCENTRATED.
The Sicily lemon culture is thirty per
cent. more profitable than orange cult
ure. Lemon trees are more prolific than
orange trees, and the prices for lemons
are always higher than for oranges. The
province of Palermo is the great orange
district of Sicily. Throughout the prov
1nce of Messina the orange was extermin-
ated 1865-75 by the "gum," and the
lemon, budded on the wild orange, has
taken it's place. To defy the ravages of
! the gum" the bud must be put in the
wild orange stock at least three feet from
the ground. >
THE ORANGE.
The bulk of the oranges shipped from
Messina comes from the province of Reg
gio, on the mainland In Calabria they
begin gathering the orange in October.
This fruit is hard and sour and of a
whitish appearance, and is shipped to
England. Shipments of oranges to the
United States begin in December. They
begin gathering oranges in Sicily in No
vember-if we except small shipments to
London OF unripe and undersized oranges
from Milazzo, thirty miles to the north
west of Messina. This poor fruit is quot
ed at about 70 cents box in October;
deducting 90 cents for cost of box, leaves
SO cents for the fruit and handling.
These oranges are bought by confection-
ers. The climate of Southern Italy being
warmer in summer than that of Sicily
(Sicily. surrounded by the deep waters OF
the Mediterranean, is cooler in summer
and warmer in winter than the province
of'Reggio), and the oranges being gener-
ally grown on a light, sandy soil, ac-
counts for this maturing earlier in Gala
bria AS just stated, the first gathering
OF oranges in Sicily occurs in November,
but most Of the crop is gathered in De-
cember and January. The Sicilian grow
er prefers running the risk of damage by
frost (but two crops have been iniuredby
cold during the last twenty years. to
gathering his fruit (oranges) when it is
still too immature. Sicily oranges, which
are OF course not fully ripe when gathered,
keep well for forty days. Frequently the
fruit when gathered is allowed to sweat
in the groves from two to three days
piled on the ground and covered over
with tarpaulins. 1t is then wrapped in
tissue paper, boxed up and sent to the
city. Fruit is also sent directly from the
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1889-02-06
DeLand, Fla, wednesday, February 6, 1889.

The soil has great influence upon the
maturing and keeping qualities of the
citri. The fruit ripens earlier on light,
sandy soil than on clay soil. Fruit grown
on light, sandy soil cannot be left long
on the trees without deteriorating in
quality becoming dry and spongy,-
whereas on stiff clay it can remain with
impunity until the end of April. The
latest fruit to ripen is that produced on
the upper limit of the middle zone (the
trees growing on stiff clay soiD, which
can remain on the trees until the end of
June, without drying up or it's skin be-
coming hard and spongy. Tt must, how
ever, be gathered in July, for should it be
left longer on the trees it would injure
the new crop.
Fruit grown on a light, sandy soil is
small and of a pale yellow, and is COM
paratively short eping. That grown
on clay soil is larger and keeps well,
and is of a reddish-brown Trees on a
clay soil resist drouth much better than
those on sandy soil. The groves to the
southwest of the Palermo district pro-
duce much more highly priced fruit than
those on the northwest, the sole differ
ence between them being their clay and
sandy soils. AS in the neighborhood of
Palermo, so in other districts of the
province, even where the climatic differ
ences are great.
Fruit in Sicily is known as mountain
fruit and "sea-coast" " fruit Merchants
further classify the fruit according to the
soil on which it grows. Fruit grown ON
clay soil brings thirty per cent. more
than fruit produced on sandy soil.
Mountain fruit is tirmer and keeps bet
ter. It's superiority is attributed to the
nature of the soil and not to the infu-
ence OF the climate Fruit produced in
the plain of Portfolio, the soil of which is
clay, brings the same price as that grown
on the heights of Moureale.
The fine, large oranges that bring
high price in Palermo in summer, are al
lowed to remain on the trees until the.
end of May, when they are stored in sub
terranean grottoes. They are produced
on clay soil aboundingi in alkalis and well
decomposed organic matter. In the sides
of the mountains, near Palermo, are
many grottoes that are cool and well
ventilated, in which oranges keep nicely
during the summer. They are spread
two layers deep upon large mats placed
at convenient distances one above the
other Every day or two the fruit is
turned over and all the defective oranges
are removed. This fruit finds home
market.
: The principal orange and lemon groves
are on the northern and eastern coasts.
The mountains along these shores rise in
bold headIands from the sea, leaving but

soil of the hillsides-the middle zone-is
generally clayey. For lack of water for
irrigation, oranges and lemons are not
grown to any extent on the southern and
western shores.
THE LEMON.
The well-knoW variety of lemon called
the 'Lunare, -lunar,-or everbearing,
produces blossoms and fruit every month
in the year. When, however, during the
Indian summer, rainy days are succeeded
by dry, clear weather, lemon trees
of different varieties Immediately put on
bloom, and if, owing to the mildness of
the season, the fruit sets at the beginning
of winter, it will come to maturity in
midsummer
Lemons are divided into two classes
the true lemon and the bastard lemon.
The true lemon is produced by the
April and May blooms. The bastard by
the irregular blooms of February, March,
June and July5.Which depend upon the
rainfall and regular irrigation, and the
intensity OF the heat during the summer
and winter season.
The true lemon requires nine months
to reach maturity the bloom in
May to the mature fruit in January.
There are but three harvests of the true
lemon. The November cut, when the lem
on is green in appearance and not fully
ripe; lemons Of this cut are the most
highly priced, they possess remarkable
keeping qualities, and aro admirably pre-
served in boxes in warehouses from No
vember until March, and sometimes as
late as May, and then shipped. The Sec
ond cut occurs in December and January.
Lemons OF the January cut must be ship
ped three weeks after gathering. At this
date the lemon on the trees has acquired
a yellow appearance. The third cut oc-
ours in March and April This fruit is
shipped as soon as sgathered, spring prices
being always high. The uniformity in
size OF lemons, as we meet them in the
trade, is due to the monthly harvestings
from October to March. No sizer is used
or even known here.
Bastard lemons present well character
lied pecularities in shape and appearance
Their inner skin is fine and adheres tena-
ciously to the meat. These bastards are
hard, rich IN acid, and seedless The bas-
tard lemon, produced from the bloom of
June lst, is still green the following
April, and ripens only towards the end of
July; it remains on the tree over year,
and sells well in summer. Besides the
March and June bastards there are yet
Others that remain on the trees from
twelve to eighteen months. The true
lemon can be left on the tree until the end
OF May or first week in June, but it inter-
