of lemons grown. Fruit 

 oblong, slightly pointed 

 at the blossom end, rind 

 thin, without any trace 

 of bitterness even when 

 green ; acid strong, juicy ; 

 nearly seedless. Keeps

EUREKA (California). 

 Fruit medium in size, 

 oval, and more oblong

 possible. Tree almost 

 thornless.

 seeds ; a good keeper ; can be picked at any time of the year. There
