   These 
  limes 
  were 
  excellent. 
  I 
  sampled 
  over 
  two 
  dozen 
  and 
  did 
  not 
  find 
  

   any 
  signs 
  of 
  seeds. 
  Skin 
  greenish; 
  rind 
  thick, 
  but 
  as 
  the 
  location 
  of 
  the 
  

   tree 
  was 
  a 
  low, 
  damp, 
  fertile 
  valley 
  I 
  am 
  led 
  to 
  believe 
  it 
  would 
  not 
  produce 
  

   such 
  coarse-skinned 
  fruits 
  under 
  different
