Some words about Merlyn's estate, the history of Merlin’s family is rich and connected with Corfu. Sydney married Zaira Theotokis, daughter of the Corfian Prime Minister of Greece, George Theotokis. In 1885 Merlin's children inherit land in various parts of Greece.
In 1925 he introduced an American variety of oranges called "Washington navel" which took his name and has remained to this day known as "Merlin Oranges".
He also imported to Corfu the Kumquat tree from which the famous sweet kumquat is made, which everyone buys as something completely related with the island. The Merlin estate played an important role in Corfu's economy, as it was the only orange grove for the aforementioned varieties and gave work to many locals.
