The Lemon. Of the large num- ber of excellent varieties, we consider the fol- lowing sorts all that can be desired : Belair iTemium Lemon. A superb Lemon of Gen. Sanford's importation. Genoa. This tree was introduced into Cali- fornia from Genoa, Italy, about ten years ago. It is an early bearer, everbearing, and fruit of best quality as a market Lemon. Rind sweet, stand- ing the test of both hot and cold water for 24 hours without developing bitterness. Tree described as thorn less, and in most cases is nearly so, but we have found that when budded on thrifty, strong-growing stocks, the first year's growth is sometimes quite thorny. Sicily. (Imported.) Size medium ; rind sweet ; skin smooth, thin, tough and dense ; membrane covering segments of pulp thin and small in quantity ; pulp juicy, acid, fine; quality best. Not a Florida-raised seedling, but the genu- ine imported Lemon of commerce. Villa Franca. In very high favor as a Lemon for market and home use. Quality of the very best. VSuacco. A thin-skinned Lemon, resembling the Sicily. Very prolific, and high grade in quality. Our Lemons are extra heavy this year, and are of the largest size. Bud- ded low on rough Lemon stocks (excepting: a few Genoa on sour orange roots), S to 7 feet, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz.'; 4 to 5 feet,
