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 see. 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, show¬ 
ing it to be a true ever-bearer. Fruit has been Liken from this 
tree weighing over four pounds. The Lemons have very thin 
rind for such large fruit. It is the juiciest of all Lemons, 
makes delicious lemonade, and for culinary purposes cannot 
toe excelled. It is not uncommon to make twelve lemon pies 
from one Lemon. We have the entire stock of this ponderous 
Xemon, and guarantee trees to produce the same large fruit. 
Flo budding or grafting necessary. Ponderosa Lemon is sure to 
become popular when it is known. It fruits when quite small,
