POMELO. 
(Grape Fruit). 
This popular fruit 
should properly be called 
Pomelo, and may be said 
to be an edible variety 
of the "Shaddock" 
family of fruit from the 
East Indies. 
Its abundant and de- 
licious subacid juices 
make it an exceedingly 
popular fruit. The excellent medicinal qualities 
claimed for it doubtless add largely to its growing 
favor as a dessert fruit. It is eagerly bought up 
at the markets, where it has commanded the 
highest prices received for any citrous fruit, and 
the demand increases year by year, and promises 
to be permanent. 
The fruit- is generally eaten in its original state 
as an orange, often as an early morning tonic, or, 
prepared for the table, by carefully removing all 
the inner membranous skin and seeds, and then 
sugaring the fruit an hour or two before using. 
Properly prepared and eaten, few things are more 
refreshing than a Pomelo. The juice also makes 
a very pleasant drink, prepared the same as lem- 
onade. The Pomelo requires the same treatment 
as the orange tree, and will stand about the same 
temperature as the lemon. They are wonderfully 
prolific, some trees coming intobearing the second 
year after planting. It is a beautiful tree ; the 
leaves are very large, and of a very dark green 
glossy appearance. We recommend the following 
varieties. Price, 4 to 5 
feet, balled, $1.50 each, 
$12.50 per 10.

or membranes surrounding the cells and dividing
