Al though the crop this season Is some what limited, the quality of the fruit makes up for what there may be larking In quantity, the largest speci men measuring 12x44, while the other Is a trifle Hinaller. The fruit was raised by Mrs. M. J. Black on her place in this city, the tree being about 4H feel high.1 '. The question of finding a market Is causing the grower considerable un easiness. Walla Walla last summer passed an ordinance taxing our lemon and banana raisers $150 per year for selling their product there, which ef fectually closes that market.
