The Wonderful
New Lemon,
PONDEROSA.*
m
OTHING that has ever been brought to our notice in
the plant line has caused half the commotion that this
wonderful Lemon has. Our sales of it last year was
Fifty Thousand Plants and every body is
delighted with it. We have 250,000 plants to offer this year.
Ponderosa £
The Elver-Bearing Lemon.
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. It blooms and bears fruit
when quite small and you do not have to wait 4 or 5 years to
get fruit.

4.Its Ponderous Size.-*
Fruit has been t3ken
from this tree weighing
over four pounds. The
lemons will average two
and one-half to three pounds. Now this may seem to you like
a fairy tale but it is a fact that this is the largest lemon known.
There is a lemon sold by nurserymen that goes under the name
of Large Lemon, but Ponderosa is distinct from that
variety.
The fruit of Ponderosa is twice the size of the so called
Large Lemon. The Large Lemon is not to be compared to
Ponderosa in prolific fruitage. Ponderosa will produce 5 lem-
ons or more to its one.
Ponderosa •£ 4*
Its Flavor Unsurpassed. - *
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 un-
common to make twelve lemon pies from one lemon. Every-
body who has tasted', this Lemon unite in saying that for
delicious flavor no other lemon could approach it. It .is not
a Lime Fruit and does not resemble a Lime in any particu-
lar. Ponderosa is the largest, juiciest, richest flavored lem-
on ever produced.
Ponderosa Lemon
a On its Own Roots, a
We have the entire stock of this ponderous Lemon, and
guarantee the trees to produce the same large fruit. No
budding or grafting necessary as every plant we send out is
on their own roots and will produce fruit as freely and large
as shown in the photograph.

• As & House Plant. J»
  

If Ponderosa Lemon did not produce a single bloom or
fruit it still would eclipse many of the plants used now for
decorative purposes. We say this to let you know that it is
one of the most desirable of house plants. It will stand all
kind of rough usage and neglect and still look well. The
foliage isdeliciously fragrant, is very large, thick and leath-
ery, of the deepest green. You can prune it into any size or
shape desired without affecting its blooming or fruiting. We
think it a far more decorative plant as to foliage alone ttian
the famous Riibber v Tree, but when in full bloom with fruit
in all stages of developement, from wee tiny things, to the
ponderous golden-yellow fruit, then it is " a thing of beauty
and a joy forever."
Ponderosa«Its Fragrant
& Flowers. £)
In size and fragrance far excelling the orange blossom.
Coming as they do in immense clusters of pure snow white,
the center of each flower being filled with yellow stamens,
remaining quite a while before falling. A plant of this lem-
on in bloom will scent your house through and through with
the fragrance of the delicious orange blossom.

Fruit of Commerce
This Lemon will be introduced to commerce just as soon
as the trees can be grown. We have sold many thousand of
it for outdoor planting. The south is particularly adapted to
its culture. It is a much hardier tree than the orange, it
having stood in a shed when the temperature was below
zero without any damage to the tree. Plant it in your yard
or garden.
Ponderosa Speaks
for Itself. ^ ^ ^ ^

cents each.
