Indeed, the orange is sometimes thought of by the casual Observer as being indigenous, so eminently suitable have the soil and climate proved to be. When properly cared for and fertilized some Of the native orange trees produce fruits unexcelled in point Of flavor and juiciness, bearing little resemblance to the very indifferent specimens Often found in the markets, which have been picked green, dumped into casks without curing, and sent into the market. These facts are in striking contrast with the statistics, showing that between and worth Of citrus fruits were imported into Honolulu alone in the year ended January 27, 1905. Considerable quantities have also arrived at the ports Of Hilo and Mahukona direct from San Francisco. These circumstances have seemed to make it desirable to give a statement Of common practices in citrus culture, with special reference to their application to Hawaiian conditions.
