A HARDY DWARF LEMON FROM CHINA. 
(Citrus limonia Osbeck; S. P. I. No. 23028.) 
Frank N. Meyer, Agricultural Explorer of the Bureau of Plant 
Industry, sent from China in 1908 a dwarf lemon, considered 
promising for house culture in the United States. Tests 
in various parts of this country have shown that the variety 
is not only of value for this purpose but that it "is much 
hardier than the commercial varieties now grown and that 
its fruit is of excellent quality. Its introduction may, 
therefore, result in extending the zone in which lemons 
can be commercially cultivated. (Photographed by Peter 
Bisset at the Plant Introduction Garden, Brooksville, Fla., 
October 5, 1921; P28182FS.)
