Seedless Oranges Introduced in America by an American Woman
The seedless orange known as Riverside or seedless orange originated in the United States after an American woman noted Bahia oranges were superior during a 1806 trip to Bulbia Brazil. Horace Capron, then commissioner of agriculture, and William Saunfier, head of the Agriculture Department gardens, pushed propagation. Twelve young trees arrived in 1812 and formed the original stock later grafted onto other stock, yielding the Riverside seedless orange widely grown in California and Florida. Florida failed to sustain productivity, while California's success became notable.
