New Lemon Ponderosa 
Nothing that has ever been brought to our notice 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 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, 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 Juiciest of all 
Lemons, makes delicious lemonade, and for culinary pur¬ 
poses cannot be excelled. It is not uncommon to make 
twelve lemon pies from one Lemon. We have the entire 
stock of this ponderous Lemon, and guarantee trees to 
produce the same large fruit. No budding or grafting 
necessary. Ponderosa Lemon is sure to become popular 
when it is known. It fruits when quite small, and makes 
a lovely house plant. Everybody can grow their own 
Lemons. It will fruit freely the second year. Thrifty

they must be protected or wintered in the cellar like the 
ordinary Tritoma. Just bury the roots in sand; nothing 
more is required. Should be planted out very early in 
the spring, and will commence growth and bloom at once, 
growing larger and finer every day. Plants show six to 
twenty grand flower stalks all the time, each holding at a 
height of three to four feet a cluster of flame-colored 
flowers of indescribable beauty and brilliancy. Each 
cluster keeps perfect several weeks and when it fades 
several more are ready to take its place. Fall frosts do 
not kill it or stop its blooming, and it is as brilliant as 
ever long after all other garden flowers have been killed. 
For cutting it is unsurpassed, and the beautiful long 
spikes keep several weeks in water. Strong plants that 
will bloom the first summer, 75 cents per dozen; $5.00
