Davis Seedless was another seedless grapefruit variety illustrated by Amanda Almira Newton. Her depiction (87353; https://pomological.art/watercolors/P...; ) 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/P...). 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.c...).
"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-00000...).

Amanda's grandfather ". . . was born in Burlington County, N.J., March 31, 1800, to Isaac and Mary (Newton) Newton, a family of English ancestry and Quaker faith. The young father soon died leaving an 18-year-old widow and baby son Isaac. The mother and son lived for years in the farm home of her prosperous father-in-law. The growing boy attended 'county and state' schools, but apparently did not continue on to college. When 21 years of age, Newton married Dorothy Birdsall, and took over management of two adjoining farms in Delaware County, Pa., which he developed into a model of 'neatness, order and productiveness,'" according to Amanda's typed statement in the Library of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, as noted in The Story of U.S. Agricultural Estimates, prepared by the Statistical Reporting Service (USDA Miscellaneous Publication No. 1088; Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, April 1969: page 19; URL @ https://archive.org/details/storyofus...).

AbbyFitz, Me, too, I love the shade and road screens provided by grapefruit trees.
Your visit is appreciated, especially since grapefruits are not your cup of tea!
Even though I don't care for grapefruit, I love the trees in our yard. They're shady, and they make a good screen from the road.
