AMERICAN WONDER LEMON 



THE LARGEST EDIBLE LEMON IN THE WORLD 

 Actual Weight, Two end One-half Pounds 



CHIS is one of the most extraordinary novelties that has been sent 

 out in many years. Our illustration, taken from a photograph, 

 much reduced in size, gives an idea of the fruit. Single specimene 

 have been taken from the trees weighing over three pounds each. 

 In addition to its fruit-bearing qualities, it makes a very handsome 

 specimen plant for house culture. The dark -green foliage is very large, 

 and the handsome, pure-white waxy flowers, with yellow stamens, are 

 nearly as large as tuberose blooms, and as fragrant as orange blossoms, 

 which they greatly resemble. The lemons have a very thin rind for such 

 large fruit, and are fall of rich, acid juice, and are equal to eight or ten 

 ordinary lemons. It makes delicious lemonade, and for every purpose 

 that the lemon is useful it has no equal. The plauts that we will send 

 you will produce their magnificent large fruits under ordinary cultivation 

 the second year, and will prove a source of genuine delight. This is cer- 

 tainly a wonderful novelty, and one of the greatest we have ever had any- 

 thing to do with. Plant it in ordinary soil, inapotortub, anditwillmake 

 a most interesting and valuable plant, notonly ornamental, but useful, aa \ 

 it will bear each season a fine crop of these superb Lemons. Very hardy.

 flower afterwards. If pinched back occasionally, it makes a very hand- 

 some plant, frequently covered with 20 to 50 large pink, leathery flower 

 heads, which last a longtime. The foliage is heavy in texture and very 

 velvety; a splendid free-blooming plant. 15 cts. each 5 4 for 50 cts.
