AMERICAN WONDER OR PONDEROSA LEMONS

as has this wonderful Lemon. On a plant 6 feet high 89 of these ponderous fruits were growing 
at once. Tree was blooming, and at the same time had fruit in all stages of development, from 
the size of a pea up to ripe fruits, showing it to be a true ever-bearer. Fruit has been taken 
from this tree weighing over four pounds. It is the juiciest of all lemons, makes delicious lemon- 
ade, and for culinary purposes cannot be excelled. It fruits when quite small, and makes a lovely 
house plant. Everybody can grow their own lemons ; it will fruit freely each year. Hundreds of 
fine specimens of this are growing here in Atlanta now, making a most attractive house plant in 
winter and for out-of-doors in summer. On account of quarantine laws on citrus plants we can- 
not ship this plant or Otaheite Orange into Florida, Alabama, Louisiana or Texas. Please do not
