 trees. As a pot or tub plant it is extremely valuable, either indoors or 

 outside. It will Winter safely in an ordinary cellar, or it can be allowed 

 to harden off with a few frosts in the early Kail and then brought Indoors f(u- 

 growing during the.Winter. It will produce three crops in a season. The fruit 

 is delicious beyond descript'on, being large and sweet and almost seedless ; 

 especially delicious when enten fresh from the tree. This is one of the rare
