Cross Between Orange and Lemon 
This very curious hybrid is likened to the crossbreed 
apple shown in the frontispiece of the present volume. It would 
appear that part of the stigmas of the flower were fertilized by pollen 
of the orange, the others by pollen of the lemon. That the fruit 
itself should take on a mongrel type, as here shown, is 
anomalous but not without precedent, as the case 
of the hybrid apple shows. Mr. Burbank’s 
interesting experiments in hybridizing 
the lemon and the orange were 
interrupted by the loss of 
his trees through frost.
