Real Forbidden Fruit.

In some countries there grows a
kind of fruit belonging to the shad-
dock family and which is commonly
called forbidden fruit" 1t is similar
to grape fruit, but is larger and the in
side is somewhat coarser than the de-
licious acid delicacy of which we are
so fond. The name forbidden fruit
was given on account Of three dark
brown stains, like finger marks, which
invariably show on this variety of the
shaddock. The stains are close to-
gether on one side and are believed to
be the marks of Ewes fingers left as
a brand on the apple whose eating
caused so much trouble in the world.
Forbidden fruit is much liked by peo-
pie who are able to get it fresh, but
so far it has not been shipped abroal
as extensively as it's cousin, the grape
fruit and shaddock.
