THE VILLA FRANCA LEMON. 
EUREKA. A native of California; originated by C. R. Workman at 
Los Angeles; fruit medium size; sweet rind; a very good keeper and 
very popular; leaves are somewhat inclined to curl; foliage scarce; fruit 
produced at extremity of branches and liable to sunburn ; should be 
pruned as little as possible to avoid this trouble.

rind; very strong acid; very few seeds; a good keeper; can be picked 
any time of the year; the tree is a strong grower and prolific bearer;

desirable variety.

quality; medium size; sweet rind; pulp very juicy, with strong acid and 
few seeds; thorns few, short and blunt; is a rapid grower but droop¬
