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.
