Mr. La Salle A. Maynard covers the seedless orange tale from the Ama zon swamp to Washington. Mrs Tibbits and William Judson aided in bringing the shoots to California where two trees survived, producing 16 oranges after five years. By 1880 a naval orange box began, and output reached 10 000 000 boxes annually with investments of about 100 900 000 dollars in southern California citrus. The parent tree was transplanted to the Glenwood hotel yard in Riverside with President Roosevelt at the ceremony and two bushels of fruit sent to the White House.
