Davis Seedless was another seedless grapefruit variety illustrated by Amanda Almira Newton. Her depiction (87353; https://pomological.art/watercolors/POM00006637; ) of the Davis Seedless grapefruit's exterior was dated 1-21 and 1-26 in 1916. her interior depiction was dated 1-21 and 2-14 in 1916 (https://pomological.art/watercolors/POM00006636). She credited "E.F. Davis, Miami, Dade Co., Florida" with the model for her illustrations.

The Davis Seedless was referenced by American botanist, taxonomist and agricultural researcher Robert Willard Hodgson (April 3, 1893-May 16 or 17, 1966) as appearing after the Marsh Seedless: "More recently, at least two other seedless varieties of the common grapefruit type have been found, namely Davis in Florida and Cecily in South Africa, neither of which has attained much commercial importance," as quoted on USDA's idtools (ITP Identification Technology Program) website (https://idtools.org/citrus_id/index.cfm?packageID=1179&entityID=8667).

"Davis is a seedless grapefruit variety in Florida so similar to Marsh that they are indistinguishable to the writer. . . . Davis has not achieved commercial importance" (page 546), Hodgson noted in "Chapter Four: Horticultural Varieties of Citrus" in Walter Reuther, Herbert John Webber and Leon Dexter Batchelor, eds., The Citrus Industry, vol. I History, World Distribution, Botany, and Varieties (1967) (https://archive.org/details/pst-000009924796-1649319230/page/546/mode/1up).

USDA's Pomological Watercolor Collection website also includes Marsh Seedless grapefruits illustrated by Amanda Almira Newton after 1912 (https://pomological.art/watercolors-of-grapefruits-by-newton).

Her Marsh Seedless illustration (81833) dated 6-16 and 6-28 in 1915 came from "Tree 14-31," sourced from "A.D. Shamel, Riverside Calif." Illinois-born physiologist Archibald Dixon Shamel (Oct.15, 1877-April 8, 1956) began employment with the U.S. Department of Agriculture;s Bureau of Plant Industry in 1902. In 1920, he relocated to Riverside, Southern California, to work in USDA's Citrus Experiment Station (CES).

Newton's Marsh Seedless illustration (99993), dated 4-25 in 1921, depicted a grapefruit from Arizona.

Grapefruit guitarist and vocalist John Perry is credited with the composition and lyrics for one of the album's 11 Grapefruit-created songs: Yes.

Grapefruit covered C'mon Marianne, a song co-written by New Jersey-born composer L. (Lawrence "Larry") Russell Brown (born June 29, 1940) and Georgia-born singer-songwriter Raymond Bloodworth (May 18, 1939-July 18, 2007).

The Four Seasons had popularized C'mon Marianne six-plus months prior to Around Grapefruit's cover. The New Jersey band released the song as a single in June 1967, according to Discogs Music Database and Marketplace (https://www.discogs.com/release/1332224-The-4-Seasons-Cmon-Marianne).
