Citrus Var. deliciosa, Swingle (C. deliciosa, Tenore). Mandarin Orange. A small tree, with slender branches, willow-like lvs., with merely margined petioles: fls. small: frs. depressed globose, bright orange-yellow or reddish orange, with a very loose peel; seeds small, beaked, bright green within.—This variety comprises the many varieties of Mandarin oranges, including the so-called tangerine varieties. These are delicious dessert frs., attractive in appearance and easy to handle because of the loose skin and the easily separable segms. Aside from the greater ease of preparing them for the table, Mandarin oranges are used exactly as are common oranges. The principal varieties grown in the U. S. are the following: Mandarin (China, China Mandarin, Willow-leaved). Fr. medium-sized, 2-3 in. diam., depressed-globose, early, orange-yellow; very juicy; sweet; seeds abundant. Oneco. Fr. medium to large, orange-yellow, midseason. Intro. from India in 1888. Tangerine (Dancy's Tangerine). Fr. red-orange, medium size, depressed-globose, juicy; seeds rather abundant: midseason: tree of good size: lvs. much broader than those of the Mandarin variety. Other Mandarin oranges are occasionally grown, especially in Fla., such as the Beauty, Cleopatra, Kino Kumi, and Mikado. Hybrids: Tangelos, are a striking new group of citrous frs. Sampson, the first tangelo to be grown commercially, was obtained by the writer in 1897 by crossing the tangerine with Bowen grapefruit; it is unlike either parent in quality, being more like a choice sprightly flavored sweet orange. Many other tangelos are now being tested. See Tangelo.<br />
