POMELOS, (Grape Fruit) 
This fruit is becoming one of the most popular of the 
citrus fruits in the Eastern States, and the demand for 
it thus far has exceeded the 
supply. The name of "Grape 
Fruit," by which it is often 
called, due to its growing in 
clusters on the tree, is a mis- 
nomer. The growing popu- 
larity of this fruit is probably 
due to its medicinal qualities, 
particularly for correcting 
stomach troubles. The tree 
is fully as hardy as the 
orange and is a vigorous 
grower.

soil, 4 to 5 feet, $2.00 each.
