CITRULLUS VULGARIS. 



Watermelon. Melon seeds, even from 

 excellent fruits, are so apt to give dis- 

 appointing results, either through 

 having been cross-pollinated, or be- 

 cause of the new environment, that 

 descriptions of them are likely to be 

 misleading. Seeds from Chinese, Rou- 

 manian, Siberian and Caucasian 

 sources are on hand and will be sup- 

 plied 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 es- 

 teemed by the Brazilians. Tree very 

 productive. 



CITRUS AURANTIUM. From 

 Dorsett, Shamel and Popenoe, Bahia, 

 Brazil. Laranja da terra or bitter or- 

 ange, 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 pos^^Me 

 differences
