Disclaimer: These volumes have been digitized for historic and
educational purposes. No editorial changes have been made in either
text or content. Please note that with technological advances in
scientific instrumentation, research, and communication there have undoubtedly
been new discoveries in all areas of citrus science and technology since the
publication of these volumes — new species, new genus/species relationships, new varieties, new physiological structures and processes, new
reproduction methods, destructive new exotic pests and diseases, and new cultural and pest management practices. Current information on citrus
production is available from the University of California's Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources at
http://anrcatalog.ucdavis.edu or from your local county Cooperative Extension Office. [Vol. 1, Chap. 2,
"The Commercial Citrus Regions of the World," was not included in this
electronic edition because it is so severely out of date as to be potentially
misleading.] We have proofread these volumes many times and with several
eyes, but because we have tried to make this available as soon as possible,
there may still be errors. If you find any, please let us know.
