in the plant line has caused half the commotion 
that this wonderful Lemon has. It is a true ever- 
bearing variety. On a plant six feet high no less 
than eighty-nine of these ponderous Lemons were 
growing at one time. It was a beautiful sight to 
s ee * The tree was blooming and at the same time 
had fruit in all stages of development, from the 
size of a pea up to the ripe fruit, showing it to be 
a true ever-bearer. Fruit has been taken from this 
tree weighing over four pounds.. The Lemons have 
very thin rind for such large fruit. It is the jui¬ 
ciest of all Lemons, makes delicious lemonade, and 
lor culinary purposes cannot be excelled. It is not 
uncommon to make twelve lemon pies from one 
Lemon. We have the entire stock of this ponder¬ 
ous Lemon, and guarantee trees to produce the
