LEMON 
American Wonder or Ponderosa 
Quite a novelty of the citrus fa¬ 
mily, originated at Hagerstown, Md., 
from the seed of an ordinary lemon. 
The original plant when quite small 
bore fruit of extremely large size, 
much to the amazement of its origi¬ 
nator. Cuttings from this plant 
produce a large stock. Horticultural 
experts pronounce it a cross between 
the ordinary lemon and the grape¬ 
fruit or Pomelo, the hybridization 
being formed by a bee. This, in brief, 
is the history of the lemon. It in¬ 
herited the large size of the Pomelo, 
and the acidity of the lemon. The 
plant is of rapid growth, with large 
dark green foliage, and often bears 
fruit weighing 3 to 5 pounds. Flow¬ 
ers are pure waxy-white and resem¬ 
ble orange blossoms, only larger and 
more compact and exceedingly sweet 
scented. A n elegant plant for porch 
or lawn decoration. Very ornament¬ 
al on account of its large, shiny, foli¬ 
age and its wonderful immense fruit, 
which is produced very freely. It is 
of easy culture, flowering and fruit¬ 
ing in any good ordinary soil. The 
fruit is edible and may be used for all 
culinary purposes; nograftingor bud¬ 
ding isnecssary. 1 Ac. each;2for 25c

EVERBLOOMING SNOWBALL HYDRANGEA 
Everblooming Sliowball Hydrangea 
This new hardy shrub is something out of the ordinary and 
welcome addition to our list of really valuable plants. Few of 
our native garden shrubs are so attractive in habit and eleg¬ 
ance of foliage. It is perfectly hardy, having stood a tempera¬ 
ture of 20 degrees below zero without injury. The flower is 
very like the greenhouse Hydrangeas and pure white. The pan¬ 
icles are immense in size, but the everblooming habit of this 
variety is its most remarkable and valuable characteristic, 
blooming profusely from June until September. No hardy 
shrub introduced in years has had such unqualified endorse¬ 
ment as the New Everblooming Hydrangea. 
Price, 30c. each, 4 for $1.00, postpaid. 
A grand Pot Plant of great beauty 
and a splendid novelty. It is a dwarf 
orange that grows, blooms and fruits 
freely in pots, even when only a foot 
or two high. The fruit is about one- 
half the size of an ordinary orange, and 
is very sweet and luscious. The blooms 
are produced in the greatest abund¬ 
ance, are delicate and beautiful in col¬ 
or. and rich in delicious perfume. It 
blooms most freely during the winter, 
although it is very likely to bloom at 
all times of the year. With one or two 
plants you can raise an abundance of 
fragrant blossoms and we know you 
will be more than pleased with it. Try 
one or two of these plants this year.
