The ble-howered6 6itron is a variety
due to a superabundanee OF modification,
modifying the germ iISits formation.
1t is improperly called double flower,
as it is seldom that fhese flowers are
truly full and without stamens. They
are usually but semi-Aouble, and often
yield monsters, having inside a second
fruit
We shall have occasion toobserye that
this phenomenon is very frequent in the
varieties having mi-llouble flowers.
