226 GARDEN PLANTS. PART II. 



Besides the above, Dr. Voigt describes the following three, 

 with the merits of which I am unacquainted : 



6. Runypore : a round, smooth-skinned fruit. 



7. Taba : a large, globose, spongy-skinned fruit. 



8. Arabian : a large thick-skinned sort. 



9. A very pretty variety, growing in Baboo Jibbon Kissen 

 Paul's garden at Hooghly, bears perfectly round lemon-coloured 

 fruits, in size little larger than a marble. 



10. A variety in the same garden bearing fruit of the form 

 of .a Nutmeg, and but little larger. These two varieties I 

 understood were introduced originally by Mr. F. Pareira from 

 China. 



The Lime is easily propagated by layers or by sowing the pips. 

 Varieties, such as the two last, are perhaps best budded or grafted 

 on stocks of some kind of stronger habit. 



Citrus limetta. 



SWEET LIME. 



Meeta Neeboo. 



The fruit of the Sweet Lime is of the form and size of a mode- 

 rate-sized Orange, with very smooth, pale-green rind. It has 

 scarcely any flavour perceptible besides that of sweetness, but 

 being in season during the hot months of August and September, 

 when Oranges are not procurable, it is found very refreshing 

 and agreeable. 



Young plants are raised from sowing the pips, or those that 

 come into bearing earlier by layering. 



Citrus limonum. 



LEMON. 



Korna Neeboo. 



The varieties of Lemon grown for distribution in the Gardens 

 of the Agri-Horticultural Society are : 



1. The Common Spanish so much used in England. This is 

 not altogether similar in shape to the European fruit. The 

 tree is very valuable for being in constant bearing all the year 

 through.
