PLATE CCXXI. 



.These leaves are of the Pertabgurh lemon of Plate CCXX. 

 a and b are fully-developed rain leaves. 

 e, d, and e are spring or dry-weather leaves. 



NOTE. As stated, large leaves, such as a, are not uncommon on the new cane-like 

 branches, which are given from the base of the stem, near the ground. In Europe, probably 

 these cane-like branches would be pruned off, as detracting from the strength of the tree, 

 without adding to the fruit. The flowers and fruit are produced from the small twigs of the 

 previous year; therefore, in pruning, the latter should be encouraged by removing the former, 

 which may not produce flowers till after several years. (See Chapter on "Cultivation of the 

 Citrus.")
