rough lemon has been only second to souf
orange in its resistance of foot rot or NAL
di gonna. In some parts OF Florida rough
lemon has ben tried, il il said, with much
success. ID D. also claimed that the navel
orange becomes more prolific when budded
on rough lemon. Unlike the sour orange,
rough lemon stock has a tendency TO run
up a tall un>ymmetrical tree, OF very rap
id growth, which may produce fruit carrier
than where other stocks are used. For
the first few years the fruit may be very
coarse, and unacceptable, but later this
characteristic changes, and a normal quail

The lemon root will establish itself quick

the sweet orange.
TIE SWEET ORANGE AND POMELO.
The sweet orange and pomelo are -
subject to diseases which are Inherent to
this Valley that their consideration or dis
cussion should not be deemed necessary
No person with a knowledge of conditions
as they exist here would consciously plant
trees on a sweet orange or pomelo root
system.
To ~analyzc the above description We
find that sour orange l. resistent to dis
ease and that rough lemon j. not: sour or
ange has a tendency to produce a well bal
anced. symmetrical tree and rough lemon
produces a tall, irregular tree. Sour or
ange has a deep, well developed root sys-
TEN and rough lemon has often such a root
hut cannot be depended upon.
Sour orange produced saleable fruit FROM
the very beginning and rough emon has a
tendency to produce unsaleable fruit for
the first two years. Against the use of
sour orange may be noted the fact that
rough lemon l. much easier to establish;
its root system quicker TO Catch
Rough lemon gives a greater growth for
the first five years, when this Characters
tie ceases. Rough lemon J. being used IN
parts of Florida lin a humid climatel
