This souvenir sheet from Somalia is ostensibly about beetles, but one is obviously intent on munching on that juicy-looking orange:  |

While I am waiting for the arrival of a few items to create a couple of pages,
here is a recent addition, an example of the missing brown text on the
honeybee and orange blossom stamped envelope along with with a cropped
image of how it should be. (Scott U599, U599a)

I am looking forward to the arrival of this Boston Circular from 1865
offering Pacific island guano to compete with Peruvian guano.
Peru, at the time, had a virtual lock on the market.
The text is an interesting read, at least to me.
This will go in my oranges cultivation section.
The 2c Blackjack was produced primarily for printed circular mail
and is notorious for 2-margin examples.
Overall fresh and very fine.

German Offices in Turkish (Ottoman) Empire Postmarked JAFFA / DEUTSCHE POST 8 10 13
Stamp is either (German Offices Abroad section) Scott 33 or 45, likely the latter from the postmark date. (year is unclear)
With the entry of Turkey into World War I the offices were closed on 30 September 1914
Cover from a German interest in the orange trade in Jaffa Palestine
German Templers were instrumental in the development and marketing of the Jaffa orange.:
The Templers arrived in Palestine more than a decade before the first large-scale immigration of Jewish Zionists, who fled there to escape destitution and pogroms in Russia - and in many ways they served as a model for the Jewish pioneers. Initially the Templers concentrated on farming - draining the swamps, planting fields, vineyards and orchards, and employing modern working techniques unfamiliar to Palestine (they were the first to market "Jaffa Oranges" - produced from their Sarona settlement near Jaffa).
Not to be confused with the medieval Knights Templar.
A great background can be read here:

"Bau" seems to make little sence,as it means "construction". Unless it is short for "Anbau" what means "cultivation".

Is this one of these occasions where German would use a compound word ? The hyphen is misleading . Orangenbau Seems to translate as “orange growing”. Ie cultivation as salentin suggests. |

It could be,of course, that the name of the company (Gesellschaft) was:
Deutsche Orangen-(Gesellschaft) -- Bau- (Gesellschaft) & Export-Gesellschaft G.m.b.H. (limited)
This would be descriptive for all their activities.
Compositive words are usually not hyphened in German but written in one word,like the (in)famous Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän.

I would make a couple of remarks. Firstly, although Export-Gesellschaft is hyphenated the other punctuation marks are not hyphens, they are tildes. They might indicate an abbreviation or a repetition as indicated by salentin. That said, there is still the possibility that the word Bau is of an older German usage perhaps linking the terminology for farming and building. Here is a quote from a Linguistics/Biological Systematics Discussion: 'I think you have to dig more deeply into the meanings of words to really understand their ultimate origins. Bau in German means earth or ground, a burrow in the ground, cultivation of crops in the ground, the ground or foundation upon which buildings are built. Bauer means farmer. Bauen also means to cultivate or grow (in the "ground"), as well as to build (on the ground). The terminology for farming and building seem to be linked in some way if we go back far enough.' See here for the original reference. Oranges, Construction and Export seem too diverse for a company. My thoughts, Daniel |

SATSUMA FLORIDA
One of 4 US towns sharing this name, the other three are in Louisiana, Alabama and Texas. They are named for the Satsuma citrus which is a type of Mandarin, and is sometimes called a Satsuma Orange or Satsuma Mandarin.
Towns were named for local Satsuma groves.
Nice to find the precancel on an orange-colored stamp as well. |

Here is a new page for my Oranges Cultivation section.
The gift of the Peru piece from vikingeck Alex got me moving,
and I searched out the example of an imperf gummed plate proof to accompany it.

I recently "discovered" this sheet from Israel, which includes in the middle, a stamp featuring CITRUS HONEY.
This should be popular with those collectors of honey bees.
Which fruit is the die-cut shape supposed to represent?
Looks like an apple to my old eyes.

Yes JeffS! Those look to me like stamps meant to celebrate the holiday of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, where eating apples and honey together is a (delicious) custom meant to suggest the hope for a sweet year to come. So the die-cut apple shape and the images of honey go together. |
