Lemons 
The lemon product of California is small. The tree is less hardy than the orange and is otherwise more 
exacting in its requirements. For this reason it is probable that a much smaller area of California is adapted 
to the production of the lemon for commercial purposes. 
The lemon requires a practically frostless situation ; it delights in a sandy loam, although it succeeds 
in other kinds of soil. 
Price— 4 to 5 feet, balled, $1.50 each, $12.50 per 10 
3 to 4 feet, 1.00 " 7.50 "
