Fig. 5.—a typical lemon tree of the Shade-Tree strain of the Eureka variety, 10 years planted. The trees of this strain grow vijorously and attain great size, but produce only light crops of inferior fruits, which are lacking in juice and acidity. the branches, particularly the very vigorous growing vegetative ones, or suckers, have an upright habit of growth. The trees of this strain usually develop more suckers than those of the Eureka strain. The general appearance is that of a wide-spreading shade tree. The leaves are usually large, tapering to sharp points, and profuse, and the margins are usually smooth or slightly wavy and have a deep- green color. Frequently the large leaves are acutely pointed at the 135336°—20—Bull. 813 2.
