SACRED JEWISH FRUIT.
Extreme Care Taken In Growing and
Protectina the Esrou.


The esrog or sacred Jewish citron is
one Of the costliest and most interest
ing and vet one OF the least known
fruits to be found in the markets Of
the world. 1t has been used by the
Jews in connection With the Feast of
Tabernacles since the time of the
Habylonian captivity and is still treas
Ured by orthodox Hebrews In many
countries
In appearance the fruit greatly re-
sembles the lemon. and it possesses a
strong and agreeable perfume. The
tree itself is a variety of citron and
belongs to the citrus family, of which
the orange aud grapefruit are mem
bcrs.
Nearly all OF the esrogs, or cedrats,
as they are sometimes called, are
grown in Palestine and on islands near
the coast of Greece. In these localities
the groves are planted in sheltered val
leys. where the trees will be safe from
! frost and drying winds.
Great care is used to protect the
fruit from the time of blooming until
it is sold. The young fruit is tenderly
wrapped in soft lint, lest it be married
| by scratch or bemlsb. and when ma
tured it is carefully packed in special
~ constructed box with individual
lined compartments. For religious
purposes it is essential that the fruit
be free from blemishes. Even the deli
cate stamens must be preserved intact

have given many years Of faithful
service before they reach an age when
they are unequal to the further per-
Torrance Of their duties; and desiring

lars will be set aside, the ncoHTe from

sion Fund. No contributions will be
called from the employees.
The Company hopes that this vol

System which will assure to faithful
employees an income when unable to
work, either by reason Of age or per.
manent incapacity, will confirm to
them this company's appreciation Of
faithful service, and it's interest in
their welfare, and thereby increase
their desire to render long service and
pany, az so many employees have done
in the past. L. w. HILL,
