Stamped Citrus According to citrus specialists of the department of agriculture, it’s usually the Florida and Texas or anges that bear the stamp required by law when color is added. Wide variations in day and night temper ature and the presence of iron in the soil of California make the color of the skin much deeper, and there fore no help is needed to make the western orange really “orange col ored.” The Florida orange, how ever, often reaches maturity while the skin is still green, and to get the traditional bright color, a spe cial beauty treatment is required, so to speak.
