Lemon Trees.
We have noticed before that lemons do hot , .bear, well if trained with a single trunk into ' the 'form of an orange tree, and experience has convinced us of the fact. . Five years ago we planted five seedling lemon plants from seeds of an imported variety. Two of these trained wish a single trunk, and the other three we allowed to grow as nature dictated, Vtitid miany sprouts hanging over. The latter Shave given us two crops of excellent fruit, .while we. Have not got one lemon from the former. We would liketo have the experience 'of others. Ruben - Marsh, living near this ' town, has found this to be the case. He tried for years to train his lemon trees without \ getting any fruit ; at last, disgusted with the .result, and thinking that he. had a worthless variety^ he allowed the trees to sucker out and ' turn into a bushj and now he has large crops ' of : lemons.— Florida Agriculturist. ;
