sun.

MEYER LEMONS 
Recently introduced from China. A dwarf tree (or bush) which 
bears fruit very young. Ready April 1, 1938. 
Can be grown ANYWHERE! Imagine growing and picking 
lemons in your own home. The dwarf characteristics of these 
lemons allows them to be grown in pots. Accordingly, they 
may be taken indoors or placed in conservatories in climates 
where the winters are severe, and then returned to the yard, 
porch or patio during the balance of the year. 
Ornamental Value — These plants have shiny dark green 
leaves with deep orange oval shaped lemons and sweetly scented 
flowers larger than orange blossoms. They make ideal house 
plants, or porch and garden specimens. 
Quality and Use of Fruit —Meyer lemons bear a large fruit of 
exceptional quality which may be used for the same purposes as 
the ordinary commercial lemons. 
Size of Plants Offered —Only one-year plants out of 4-inch pots 
are offered this spring. These plants should bloom and set 
fruit this coming summer. The illustration at the right is of a 
three-year-old plant. Note the half matured fruit. 
Cultural Instructions —Plant in any good garden loam, which 
allows fair drainage. Plant in 5-inch pots upon receipt. When 
the 5-inch pot becomes slightly root bound transfer to a pot one 
inch larger, and so on. It does not hurt these plants to become 
slightly pot bound. 
Fertilize frequently but lightly with any good commercial 
plant food. 
Water often enough so the plant never suffers from drought.
