SOME FACTS ABOUT LEMONS.
s,.,,, the Great Source OF Supply, and the Unite
States the Great Market.

s,.,,, ths Great Source OF Supply, and the Unite
''''' States the Great Market.
reporter called on one of the
LARGEST dealers in fruit in the United
States, to get some information about
ths lemon trade. Nearly all the lem.
ans handled in the Market" said the
dealer, ARE imported. Sicily contrib
utes more than all other countries
mt together. Callibra, Messina and
Palermo send out large consignments.
There are four crops each year. The
Lannon's are cut from the trees when
Green and placed in magazines where
itbey are subjected to sweating or
nurging process. At the end of four
or five day the fruit is either stored
away in shallow trays or packed for
shipment. Lemons gathered in No.
yember and December have the best
keeping qualities. I have kept lem
ons of this cut from November till
June without destroying their market
value. When the fruit arrives here it
is sold at auction, this being the only
vay in which lemons and oranges are
sold to the trade. One year ago a
steamer arrived with a cargo of thirty
six thousand boxes. The entire lot
was disposed Of the same day. Unless
the broker or dealer wishes to sell his
purchase at once, the fruit is put away
and ripened by steam heat. Our bust
ness has entirely changed since the
introduction of steamers. The voy-
age by the old sailing fruiters were
long and uncertain. A cargo of de-
cayed lemons was the frequent result
of a voyage of several months. Now,
with rapid transportation at his COM
.mand, the shipper can allow his lem
ons to stay Oh the trees many weeks
longer than he could then, and is
quite certain that on arriving at this
market the fruit will be in good con-
dition. The best, and consequently
the highest, priced lemons come from
Sorrento. Great care is bestowed
upon their cultivation. The fruit is
long and smooth and has a beautiful
golden color. These lemons are con-
sidered a luxury in Paris, where they
are used not only by confeetioners
and bakers, but also by decorators.
Generally speaking, medium sized
thin skinned lemon is the best. The
large coarse grained variety are the
poorest and cheapest. The United
States consume more lemons in a
year than all the other countries COM
bined. Russia comes next. The
custom the Russians have of drinking
their tea with a slice of lemon in it
accounts for the large consumption
there. The growth of the lemon
trade in this country during the last
thirty years has been enormous. In
1850, 127, 900 boxes were imported.
Last year this number had increased
1,342,OOO boxes. The summer is our
best season. There is one more fact
about the lemon and general fruit
trade that is worthy of notice. The
people in the far west will not buy
any but the choicest fruits. 1t makes
no difference what the prices are, they
will buy it. "-Nev York Tribune.
