American Wonder Lemon. piL'Sof «"'vllueS?e 



so rare that any new one commands attention. In 

 this wonderful Lemon we have the rich glossy leaves like 

 the dwarf Orange, which are so easily kept clean, and 

 with them these giant fruits. Its blossoms are waxy 

 white, like a Tuberose and as fragrant as Orange blos- 

 soms. This is not only a show fruit but equal in every 

 way to ordinary lemons while ten times as large. The 

 Wonder Lemon must take a place in every good collec- 

 tion of house plants. 20c. each ; 3 for 50c.

is suitable for pot culture, and which with any one 

 proves one of the most desirable pot plants it is possible 

 to possess. While it will grow three or four feet high 

 and branch freely, it is not an uncommon thing to see 

 little cutting plants five or six inches high full of bloom, 

 and even bearing one or two medium-sized oranges. 

 The fruit at their best are not more than half the size of 

 an ordinary orange, but are very bright and beautiful in color, delicious 

 in quality ; but it is for its flowers more than its fruit which commends 

 it to general cultivation. When it blooms it is so full that it seems to be 



all flowers. The pure waxy-white 

 blossoms emit a delicate yet power- 

 ful fragrance, which is surpassed by 

 no other flower. Price, 15c ; 2 for 

 25c. Larger plants, 20c. each. 



AMERICAN WONDER LEMON. 



OTAHEITE ORANGE. 



jThe Ne%> Kumqua.t, or Christ- 

 ^ mas Orange. This is likely 

 to create a greater sensation than the 

 now well-known Otaheite Orange. 

 The plants imported by us from 

 Japan a few years ago have been 

 much admired by connoisseurs. 

 They are always eagerly snapped 

 up at fancy prices when in fruit. 

 What could be more fascinating 

 than one of these little plants, a 

 couple of feet high, decorated with 

 fancy ribbons and covered with 

 dainty little oranges, as a center- 

 piece for a dinner table? And 

 when it is known that the fruit is 

 delicious to eat, one's delight is 

 still greater. Easy to bloom and 

 fruit. Nice grafted plants, 30c, 

 each ; 2 for 50c.
