The Wonderful 



New Lemon, 



PONDEROSA.* 



m 



OTHING that has ever been brought to our notice in 



the plant line has caused half the commotion that this 



wonderful Lemon has. Our sales of it last year was 



Fifty Thousand Plants and every body is 



delighted with it. We have 250,000 plants to offer this year. 



Ponderosa £ 



The Elver-Bearing Lemon. 



It is a true ever-bearing variety. On a plant six feet 

 high no less than eighty-nine Of these ponderous Lemons were 

 growing at one time. It was a beautiful sight to see. The 

 tree was blooming and at the same time had fruit in all stages 

 of development, from the size of a pea up to the ripe fruit, 

 showing it to be a true ever-bearer. It blooms and bears fruit 

 when quite small and you do not have to wait 4 or 5 years to 

 get fruit.

4>Its Ponderous Size.-* 



Fruit has been t3ken 

 from this tree weighing 

 over four pounds. The 

 lemons will average two 

 and one-half to three pounds. Now this may seem to you like 

 a fairy tale but it is a fact that this is the largest lemon known. 

 There is a lemon sold by nurserymen that goes under the name 

 of Large Lemon, but Ponderosa is distinct from that 

 variety. 



The fruit of Ponderosa is twice the size of the so called 

 Large Lemon. The Large Lemon is not to be compared to 

 Ponderosa in prolific fruitage. Ponderosa will produce 5 lem- 

 ons or more to its one. 



Ponderosa •£ 4* 



Its Flavor Unsurpassed. - * 



The Lemons have very thin rind for such large fruit. 

 It is the juiciest of all Lemons, makes delicious lemonade, 

 and for culinary purposes cannot be excelled. It is not un- 

 common to make twelve lemon pies from one lemon. Every- 

 body who has tasted', this Lemon unite in saying that for 

 delicious flavor no other lemon could approach it. It .is not 

 a Lime Fruit and does not resemble a Lime in any particu- 

 lar. Ponderosa is the largest, juiciest, richest flavored lem- 

 on ever produced. 



Ponderosa Lemon 



a On its Own Roots, a 



We have the entire stock of this ponderous Lemon, and 

 guarantee the trees to produce the same large fruit. No 

 budding or grafting necessary as every plant we send out is 

 on their own roots and will produce fruit as freely and large 

 as shown in the photograph.

* As & House Plant. J» 



If Ponderosa Lemon did not produce a single bloom or 

 fruit it still would eclipse many of the plants used now for 

 decorative purposes. We say this to let you know that it is 

 one of the most desirable of house plants. It will stand all 

 kind of rough usage and neglect and still look well. The 

 foliage isdeliciously fragrant, is very large, thick and leath- 

 ery, of the deepest green. You can prune it into any size or 

 shape desired without affecting its blooming or fruiting. We 

 think it a far more decorative plant as to foliage alone ttian 

 the famous Riibber v Tree, but when in full bloom with fruit 



in all stages of developement, from wee tiny things, to the 

 ponderous golden-yellow fruit, then it is " a thing of beauty 

 and a joy forever." 



Ponderosa«Its Fragrant 

 & Flowers. £) 



In size and fragrance far excelling the orange blossom. 

 Coming as they do in immense clusters of pure snow white, 

 the center of each flower being filled with yellow stamens, 

 remaining quite a while before falling. A plant of this lem- 

 on in bloom will scent your house through and through with 

 the fragrance of the delicious orange blossom. 



PONDEROSA [as a ^ 



Fruit of Commerce 



This Lemon will be introduced to commerce just as soon 

 as the trees can be grown. We have sold many thousand of 

 it for outdoor planting. The south is particularly adapted to 

 its culture. It is a much hardier tree than the orange, it 

 having stood in a shed when the temperature was below 

 zero without any damage to the tree. Plant it in your yard 

 or garden. 



Ponderosa Speaks 

 for Itself. ^ ^ ^ ^

 cents each.
