Not illustrated. 1894 Excerpt: ...of 1891, 1892, and 1893), p. 242 of this report, with the figures given just above, it seems that most of the varieties of oranges from the exhibit at the Midwinter Fair weigh less than the earlier fruits; for we note that of the eight varieties examined, the Navels, Malta and Ruby Bloods, Tardive, and Jaffa.oranges range less in weight, while Mediterranean Sweet, St. Michael, and King varieties are nearly the average in this respect. Jaffa, No. 106, from Porterville, and Tardive, No. 99, from Duarte, vary the most of all. The effect of season has doubtless much to do with some of these variations. Lemons: Most of the varieties of lemons from the exhibit do not show much difference in weight from those examined in previous years. (See also Table B, analyses of California lemons, crops of 1891, 1892, and 1893, p. 249 of this report.) Villa Franca, No. 94, from San Diego, from the exhibit, was the only remarkably large sample, as compared with the other Villa Francas, and the majority of all the lemons examined, standing as it does in weight about as one and one half to one, or 150 grams (5 ozs.) to 108 grams (3 ozs.) for the average weight. We have, however, found some earlier samples of unnamed varieties of lemons equal to it in weight, and even heavier. Comparison of Rind Percentages.--Oranges: The rind percentage of the Navels from the exhibit is about the average, except that of No. 114 (18.6 per cent), which, while 10 per cent below the average, is still higher than that we have reported for a sample, No. 4, from Riverside, with 17.5 per cent. The averages referred to are found on p. 244 of this report. The Mediterranean Sweet and Tardive (Valencia Late) from the exhibit yield lower rind percentages than that given for the averages, respectively 7 and 5...
