I have now got my seville oranges for this year. I was in the store onThursday, and asked about them. I was told that for the last few days thestore was told there would be sevilles on the truck tomorrow. Whentomorrow arrived, there were no sevilles. But tomorrow there would be. Igot to the store on Friday, about noon, and yes, there were sevilles, butthey would not be on display until 3pm. So I got back at 3pm, and thesevilles were not on display. Someone went to the back of the store, andcame out with two boxes, all that had been delivered; about 150 oranges. Then the workers were amazed when I proceeded to take 100 of the oranges. Anyway, they are lovely oranges this year; big, uniform in size, and forsevilles very juicy indeed. Probably the best sevilles I have seen. Inow have half of those I purchased pretty well processed, though it willbe some time before this is complete. I can do the rest tomorrow. Jim.

There seem to be several varieties these days..one hears of Hamlins quite a bit.

The groves that have been let to grow wild produce tart oranges, so I am told. I haven't tried them, but that may be workable for marmalade.
