Wonderful New Lemon, Ponderosa 



Nothing that has ever been brought to our notice in the plant 

 line has caused half the commotion that this wonderful Lemon has. 

 It is a true everbearing variety. On a plant six feet high no less 

 than 89 of the Ponderosa Lemons were growing at one time. It 

 was a beautiful sight to see. The tree was blooming, and even 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 everbearer. 

 Fruit hag been taken from this tree weighing over four pounds. 

 The Lemons have very thin rind for such large fruit. It is the 

 juciest of all Lemons, makes delicious lemonade, and for culinary 

 purposes cannot be excelled. It is not uncommon to make twelve 

 lemon pies from one lemon. We have the entire stock of this 

 ponderous lemon and guarantee the trees to produce the same 

 large fruit. No budding or grafting necessary. Ponderosa Lemon 

 is sure to become popular when it is known. It fruits when quite
