OBS. The climate of Gibraltar is well suited to the cultivation 

 of this tribe of useful plants ; but, with the exception of a 

 few specimens for ornamental purposes, lemon and orange tree, 

 are only seen in a few spots in the south-district, where the 

 fruit arrives at as great perfection as in more favoured situa- 

 tions ; but owing to the frequent communication with Barbary 

 and the interior of Spain (from which places the Gibraltar 

 market is chiefly supplied with fruits and vegetables), there is 

 no great inducement for their more extensive cultivation on the 

 rock.
