Union, cytryna. hmone and Umao, although it was Greek to the ancient Greeks who nev er heard of it. Yet, through out history, man has put the lemon to more use*-- fiom lemonade to lemon freshened cigarettes -- than any other citrus fruit. The lemon seems to have been unknown to most an cient civilizations, and origi nated from central or eastern Asia. The Arabs carried it to western Asia, and some time between the year 1000 and the year 1200 A.D. it was introduced into Spain and the north African countries. In medieval days, the lemon was called “Persian apple.” And during that time, it was lurther distributed through out Europe by the Crusaders who found the fruit growing in Palestine Lemon growers knew they had a good thing IN STOCK 1 - New Gehl - 880 Mower Conditioner THE NEWEST CONCEPT IN HAY CUTTING WE ALSO HAVE 1 - CASE 550 DEMO.

Full Line of Simplicity & A.C. 350Strasburg Pike NEVER KNEW ABOUT LEMONS growing, but its many uses were still undreamed of then. In 1191 the fruit was being cultivated in the Azores and shipped largely to England. In China the lemon is found only as a plant of relatively lecenl introduction and is very rare even in the south ern provinces where other citrus is grown. The lemon is a close rela tive of the orange and has followed it into many coun tries. However, the lemon is much less hardy than the orange, and the area of its cultivation is therefore more restricted. This close rela tionship between the orange and the lemon is seen very clearly when you realize that most Florida orange trees have lemon-tree roots, while almost all California lemon trees have orange-tree roots. Man has truly benefited more from the lemon than any other citrus fruit. The pulp of the lemon yields juice, which contains citric Ifepl acid and citrate of lime. It’s an excellent source of vita min C The juice is used in flavoring food and drinks. In fact, lemonade was the rage of all Pans in 1630 when it was invented there following a sudden drop in the price of sugar. About a third of the California pro duction is processed as juice or concentrates. Lemon juice may also be used as a bleach in the printing of cotton fabrics. Lemon oil, or ex tract, is obtained fiom the imd This extract is used in flavoung and m the making of perfumes and some med icines The und can be cook ed with sugar to make can died lemon peel As loi its many uses in consumei piod- tS u* U* iS % BRUBAKER, Inc.

California is big on lem ons--in fact, it grows prac tically all the commercial crops and about half the world crop of lemons. Lem on trees flower continuously and have fruit in all stages of development most of the year. A tree bears as many as 3,000 lemons annually. Lemons are gathered while still green, when they be come too large to pass through the rings (2V<” in diameter) carried as gaugers by pickers The fruit is cut Irom the trees and placed in canvas bags. Gloves are worn in handling the flint, and every care taken to avoid the slightest injury to its skin Because it’s a small, bitter hint, it has come to mean the poorest of a lot--thus the expression, “You cer tainly picked a lemon!” We\e come a long way since the botanist Linnaeus named the lemon Citrus hmonia and we can be cei tain that the lemon will continue to beai new fruitful uses for all mankind. :ond.)
