NEW LEMON, AMERICAN WONDER 



HIS is one of the grandest new 

 fruits for house culture ever in- 

 troduced. Hundreds of testi- 

 monials have been received from 

 persons who have tried it, testify- 

 ing to its easy culture, wonderful 

 productiveness and the enormous 

 size and excellent quality of the fruit, 

 some of which weigh as much as three 

 pounds each, and are three times the size 

 of the cut shown herewith. It is claimed 

 by the introducers that one of these 

 lemons will go as far as six ordinary 

 lemons for all kinds of culinary uses. 

 The tree is a strong, vigorous grower 

 and quite hardy; may be kept in a pot 

 or box set out in Summer and taken in- 

 doors in Winter ; requires no codaling, 

 not troubled with insects, and will begin 

 to bear very quickly, and as soon as 

 fully established will continue to bear 

 both flowers and fruit continuously 

 every month in the year. The flowers 

 are pure waxy white and very sweet and 

 ike orange blossoms ; the leaves are 

 thick glossy green and shine as if var- 

 nished. It makes a very handsome tree and 

 is well worth taking care of as it will last a 

 lifetime and grow more valuable every year.
