An evidence fthe wonderful pro-
dnctiveness of the soil here may be
seen in the yard of the residences of
Prof. T. P. Barbour, where there are
several large lemon trees now in
bloom, which grew from seeds plant
ed only four years ago. It usually
requires six or seven years growth
for Seeding lemons, before they will
bear, in most places. There is no
doubt that the growth oflemons for
the market could be made profit
able industry at Brownsville. Or
'anges, too, bear abundantly here,
and with slight protection in case
of freeze in winter produce the
finest fruit even in mid-winter. A
good many trees in Brownsville
gardens that were killed almost to
the roots by the heavy freeze about
five years ago, have grown again to
full size and this winter gave a
heavy yield of delicious sweet or
anges. Bananas also do well here,
and many of our citizens gather
bananas from their own trees every
year.
