BRAZILIAN 
MELON FRUIT 
As an ornamental plant it has few 
equals, its splendid bushy habit, 
healthy growth and charming fol- 
iage giving it the preference over 
many o( the weaker and more del- 
icate class. It also furnishes a 
most desirable egg-shaped, yellow- 
ish-orange colored fruit, which 
hangs pendent in clusters, just be- 
low the beautiful foliage. This 
fruit is of the most delightful flavor, 
having a slightly sub-acid taste, en- 
tirely different from any other fruit 
we are acquainted with. For eat- 
ing out of the hand, slicing or 
making into preserves, it is simply 
delicious, and its lovely appear- 
ance in a dish on a table can only 
be equaled by the finest tropical 
fruits. Strong: plants, 25c each»

should be grown by everyone. It is a very dwarf 
variety, and blossoms and fruits freely when only 
12 or IS inches high. The delicately scented blos- 
soms arc produced in profusion. The fruit is quite 
small, being only about one-half the size of the ord- 
inary orange, but is very sweet and delicious. For 
pot culture it is one of the most novel and interest- 
ing plants of late introduction. It blooms freely 
during the entire Reason, and one plant will scent 
a whole room. The stock we of f er is s t r on g and
