New Lemon Ponderosa

line has caused half the compiotion 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 purposes 
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 young plants, 50c per dozen; $3.50 per hundred.
