Champion City Greenhouses, Springfield, Ohio. 25 The Wonderful 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 at 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 lemon- ade, and for culinary purposes cannot be ex- celled. It is not uncommon to make twelve lemon pies from one lemon. We have the en- tire stock of this ponderous Lemon, and guar- antee the 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. Will fruit freely the second vear. Thrifty voung plants, $1.00 per doz- en; $7.00 per hundred. Otaheite Orange. This valuable and distinct variety of the Or- ange family is a dwarf, compact grower, with glossy, deep green foliage, which has a decided odor'of the orange trees of Florida, and is ex- ceedingly floriferous, producing a wonderful profusion of pure white flowers of the most de- licious fragrance, identical with the much sought for blooms of Southern orange groves. Otaheite fruits immediately after flowering, bearing fruit about one-half the size of the or- dinary Orange, retaining in a marked degree its sweetness. This unique Orange cannot be equaled as a Winter blooming pot plant for house culture, and is of the easiest culture. Requires but little sunlight, and flowers and fruits when but twelve to fifteen inches high. As a pot plant this lovely dwarf orange is one of the most novel and beautiful that can be grown. With a couple of plants of it you can have an abundance of the far-famed delicate and fragrant Orange blossoms. We have grown a large stock of this beautiful Orange, clean, vigorous plants that will bloom and fruit at
