          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.

CITRUS AURANTIFOLIA.
From Dorsett, Shamel and Popenoe,
Bahia, Brazil. Sweet lime. Col. F. da
Costa's grove. A fruit about the size of
a lemon and similar in appearance,
but of very sweet flavor. Highly 
esteemed by the Brazilians. Tree very
productive.

CITRUS AURANTIUM. From
Dorsett, Shamel and Popenoe, Bahia,
Brazil. Laranja da terra or bitter 
orange, the chief species used in Brazil
as a stock for the navel orange and
other cultivated citrus fruits. Probably
the same as the sour orange of Flor-
ida, but worthy of trial for possible
differences.
