The May pomelo is an excellent variety, formerly well 

 known in Florida, but for some time after 1895 it dis- 

 appeared almost entirely. Previous to that time it won 

 prizes wherever exhibited. The original tree, according to 

 Mr. E. S. Hubbard, was probably set in the May's grove 

 at Orange Mills on the St. Johns Kiver with his orange 

 trees in 1824 by Zephariah Kingsley Slaver.

 tions fourteen, large, slightly irregular; bitterness marked;
