HIS is one of the most extraordinary novelties 

 that has been sent out in many years. Our illus- 

 tration taken from a photograph, much reduced 

 in size, gives an idea of the fruit. Single speci- 

 mens have been taken from trees weighing over three 

 pounds each. In addition to its fruit-bearing qualities, 

 it makes a very handsome specimen plant for house 

 culture. The dark green foliage is very large, and the 

 handsome pure white waxy flowers, with yellow stamens, 

 are nearly as large as tuberose blooms, and as fragrant 

 as orange blossoms, which they greatly resemble. The 

 lemons have a very thin rind for such large fruit, and 

 are full of rich acid juice, and are equal to eight or 

 ten ordinary lemons. It makes delicious lemonade, and 

 for every purpose that the lemon is useful it has no 

 equal. The plants that we will send you will produce 

 their magnificent large fruits under ordinary cultivation 

 the second year, and will prove a source of genuine de- 

 light. Plant it in ordinary soil, in a pot or tub, and it 

 will make a most interesting and valuable plant, not 

 only ornamental but useful, as it will bear each season 

 a fine crop of thes.e superb lemons.
