AMERICAN WONDER OR PONDEROSA,

nator. ‘ Cuttings from this plant produced a large stock 
Horticultural experts pronounce It a cross between the 
ordinary lemon and the grape-fruit or Pomelo, the 
hybridization being performed by a bee. This, in brief 
Is the history of the lemon. It inherited the large 
size of the Pomelo, and the acidity of the lemon. 1 he 
plant is of rapid growth, with large dark green foliage, 
and often bears fruit weighing :i to 5 pounds. Flow- 
ers are pure waxy-white and resemble orange blossoms 
onlv larger and more compact and exceedingly sweet 
scented. An elegant plant for porch or lawn decora- 
tion. Very ornamental on account of its large, slimy, 
foliage and its wonderful Immense fruit, which is

edible and may be used for all culinary purposes.
