HIS is one of the grandest 

 new fruits for house culture 

 ever introduced. Hundreds 

 of testimonials have been 

 received from person? who have 

 tried it, testifying to its easy culture, 

 wonderful productiveness and the enor- 

 mous size and excellent quality of the 

 fruit, some of which weigh as much 

 as three pounds each, and are three 

 times the size of the cut shown here- 

 with. It is claimed by the intro- 

 ducers that one of these lemons 

 will go as far as six ordinary lem- 

 ons 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 indoors in Winter ; requires 

 no coddling, not troubled with in- 

 sects, and will begin to bear very 

 quickly, and as soon as fully estab- 

 lished 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 orange 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.
