WINTER FLOWERING AND DECORATING PLANTS. 



23 



LEMON PONDEROSA 



(or American Wonder) 



The dark, glossy foliage winters well and is always verdant; 

 the attractive flowers of pure white with yellow stamens are 

 refreshing in their waxen beauty and subtle perfume, while 

 their crowning glory is the fruit. Five or six times as large as 

 the ordinary Lemon of commerce; of perfect shape and even 

 ripening — Ponderosa represents the highest quality as a fruit, 

 while the combination of flower, fragrance, fruit and tree-like 

 growth, makes it one of the grandest and most satisfactory 

 window and porch decorative plants in existence. 3-inch pots, 

 25 cts. Handsome plants from 4-inch pots, $1.00 each, by 

 express. 



Firm, rounded, shiny, green foliage always attractive. The 

 creamy white flowers are of charming form, usually in small 

 groups, and exquisitely scented. 



A grand plant for winter culture, scarcely ever without 

 some display of fragrant blossoms or fruit. Fruit edible; 

 about half the size of ordinary oranges. 20 cts. each. Fine 

 plants from 3-inch pots, 12 to 15 inches high, 35 cts.; 4-inch 

 pots, 15 to 18 inches high, 75 cts.
