Not SO did these kindly colored men.

chickens and then Investigated the

their whole duty, they explained to
Miss Towner that they would send

Presently one arm encircled the fair

Thousands OF people may read, that
in the rind Of a Florida lemon there
is a bitter quality, otherwise they
might have used them for years with
out knowing it, as / did myself. The
juice of the lemon we grow here is
very acid, and of fine flavor, while
the outside or yellow may be grated
off and used in culinary purposes for
favoring; and bars may use the fruit
as soon as it is cut, and no one that
was not previously posted" would
know that he had partaken Of an in
ferior lemonade or that the "rot gut"
whisky was made more palatable by
the addition of a Florida lemon. l
put the lime, which is the finest OF
the acid fruits, along with the lemon,
and think that these fruits are to
figure prominently among the mon
eyed products ofthis country; but to
be sure, it you try hard, you can find
in the rind little bitter, such as you
may have noticed in certain apples.
l anu not well posted in medical
science, but | believe that most vege-
table bitter Is more or less medicinal;
if l am correct then, perhaps, we
have the ego" on the Sicily lemon
thus far.
Our bush lemon here begins to
fruit in three years, and atsix years
ofage is fine large bush, giving from
200 to 500 marketable fruit,
which 1 have never known to sell for
less than $3.50 per 1000 in the
market, but often bringing three to
tour times this. One may make a
lemon and lime grove here and enjoy
the fruits of his labor, and die old and
happy, while those who persist in or
ange growing may go down into the
grave miserable and worn out man,
whose children may rejoice and squan-
der the produce of score OF his
years. WIN. Z. NEELD.

In the Union of the 18th, "Lim-

Press and HorticuLtuist in which ap-
pears this sentence: s'It is generally
conceded that a bitter rind should re-

own account if "Some man wise in
lemon culture will be good enough
to tell why bitter rind should re-
ject lemon even though other quail
tiles be good?"
don't profess to be wise in "lemon
culture" but l desire to speak to the
question. The sentence of the writer
in the Press is incomplete. Insert the
words "for cooking purposes" in said
sentence, Immediately following the
word demon" and it not only makes
sense OF it, but makes it true. AS it
stands, it is not true. Cooking
lemon rind develops the bitterness
in it very quickly. If it don't, then
there can be no objection to bitter
rind in any case. Nine-tenths of all
the lemons used in the world are
used for making drinks Of various
