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 blossoms; 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. , 

 5 for $1.00. Nice two-year plants, ready 

 for fruiting, 50 cts., 3 for $1.25, express.

A LUSCIOUS TROPICAL FRUIT 

 and CHARMING HOUSE PLANT 



1 I s 



HIS is a native of Cuba and other West India 

 islands where its fruit is of great value for 

 food , and also for making confections, 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 35 cts. 

 THE YELLOW or ORANGE GUAVA— Simi- 

 lar to the above except in color, which is rich 

 orange-yellow ; very handsome and desirable. 

 Price, 15 and 20 cts. each. 



The TWO VARIETIES, 85 cts.; LARGER 

 SIZE, 35 cts., postpaid.
