 MANDARIN ORANGES, ARE BACK IN TOWN.

The result of a joint partnership between Los Angeles-based Paramount Citrus and Sun Pacific, Cuties consist of two different varieties of fruit, Clementines CLEMENTINES, eccl. law. The name usually given to the collection of decretals or constitutions of Pope Clement V., which was made by order of John XXII. his successor, who published it in 1317. The death of Clement V.  mandarins, available from mid-October through April, and W. Murcott mandarins, harvested from mid-January through April.

Cuties are packaged in 5-pound boxes and 3-pound bags. Pricing is on parity with imported Clementines.
