"My brother-in-law spent several years at Barberton, in the Transvaal. He tells 

 me that a neighbor has several wonderful lemon trees, which he calls 'Spanish lemon.' 

 He says that the fruit is lai'ge, contains about a pint of juice, and the trees are very 

 proKfic, so much so that they break down if not propped. The fruit is almost seed- 

 less, with a thin, smooth skin; strongly acid." {A. D. Shamel.)
