Example Sentences

• "The climate of the Bermudas appears to suit the Citri well, for the trees are remarkable for vigorous growth and the flavour of the several kinds of fruit is excellent."
• "The soil has a great influence upon the maturing and keeping qualities of the citri."
• "The principle groves of the citri are on the northern and eastern coasts, where the mountains rise in bold headlands from the sea, having but a narrow strip of land in the marine zone, of a loose, sandy character at their base. The soil of the hillsides is generally clay. On the southern and western coasts the citri are not cultivated to any extent, owing principally to the lack of water for irrigation and to the presence of certain deleterious mineral substances in the soil."
