base necked, rather rough, elevated about the calyx, which 

 is quite depressed; rind rough, 1-2 inch thick; oil cells 

 large, balloon shaped or oblong; sections twelve, distinct, 

 separating tissues thick ; flesh grayish, identical in color 

 with that of the pomelo; coarse grained; juice sacks large, 

 spindle-shaped or cylindrical and blunt; juice plentiful, 

 colorless; pulp melting; acid quite strong; flavor agree- 

 able, not exactly like a lemon; pith small; seeds present, 

 oval, blunt pointed, somewhat wedge-shaped, twenty-five 

 in number, of medium size; season winter. 



This lemon appears to resemble the pomelo and there 

 is a possibility of its containing some of the pomelo 

 strain. The tree has not been seen but the leaves are 

 rounded at the apex and wingless. This variety has been 

 quite extensively advertised as a novelty by northern 



nurserymen for 

 pot culture.
