HE OnsAT NEW AMERICAN WONDER LEMON 
Will Grow and Bloom Anywhere in 
: Any Good Ordinary Soil 
kL HIS is the grandest new fruit for 
house-culture ever introduced. 
Hundreds of testimonials have 
been received from persons who 
have tried it, testifying to its easy 
culture, wonderful productiveness 
and the enormous size and ex- 
cellent quality of the fruit, some of 
which weigh as much as three 
pounds each, and are three times 
the size of the cut shown herewith. 
It is claimed by the introducers that 
one of these lemons will go as far 
as six ordinary lemons for all kinds 
of culinary uses. The tree is a 
strong, vigorous grower and quite 
hardy ; may be kept in a pot or box 
set out in Summer and taken in- 
doors in Winter; requires no cod- 
dling, not troubled with insects, and 
will begin to bear very quickly, and 
as soon as fully established will 
continue to bear both flowers and 
fruit continuously every month in 
the year. The flowers are pure waxy 
white and very sweet and like or- 
ange blossonis ; the leaves are thick 
glossy green and shine as if var- 
nished. It makes a very handsome 
tree and is well worth taking care 
of as it will last a lifetime and grow 
more valuable every year. Nice mail- 
ing plants, 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts., 6 
for $1.00, postpaid. Larger size, 25 cts.,

A LUSCIOUS TROPICAL FRUIT 
and CHARMING HOUSE PLANT 
HIS isa native of Cuba and other West India 
islands where its fruit is of great value for 
food and also for making contections, which 
are exported to all parts of the world. Here, in 
our climate, it makes a charming house plant, 
rivaling the famous Otahiete Orange in beauty. It 
is a nice clean grower, with thick glossy green 
leaves, and like the orange it bears both flowers 
and fruit at the same time. The flowers are pure 
white and delightfully fragrant. The fruit is large, 
nearly the size of a walnut, and of a beautiful 
reddish color; the flavor is delicious, sweet and 
spicy, and yet rich and delicate. It is very rare 
and interesting. The plant begins to bloom and 
bear fruit while quite small. Nice mail plants, | 
15 cts. each ; larger size, 20 cts.; 2 for 85 cts.
