          CITRULLUS VULGARIS.
Watermelon. Melon seeds, even from
excellent fruits, are so apt to give disappointing 
results, either through
having been cross-pollinated, or because 
of the new environment, that
descriptions of them are likely to be
misleading. Seeds from Chinese, Roumanian, 
Siberian and Caucasian
sources are on hand and will be supplied 
to experimenters under name
and number on request.

35484. CITRUS HYSTRIX.
From Mr. P. J. Wester, Lamao, Bataan,
Philippine Islands. A thorny tree 20
to 40 feet high with leaves six to ten
inches long and broadly winged. The
smooth, greenish lemon color fruits
are aromatic, juicy and sharply acid,
making a fair "ade" and also used for
cleaning clothes. For trial as a citrus
stock.

23028. CITRUS LIMONUM.
Lemon. From Frank N. Meyer, Fengtai, 
China. Dwarf, ornamental
lemon, cultivated by the Chinese as a
decorative plant in the winter. Small
pot plants are frequently observed
with a dozen large lemons on their
branches. Readily propagated from
cuttings. For testing as an ornamental 
and for breeding experiments in
this country.
