The yield of citrus fruits in the Dominion is gradually increasing, and in this ■connection it may be noted that the Poorman orange is increasing ■ in popularity and coming into use as a good substitute for imported grape-fruit. The production ■of lemons is excellent as regards quantity, but the marketable quality of many •of these home-grown lemons is greatly depreciated through failure to subject them to a proper grading and curing process. If all our lemons were properly graded and cured there would be little need for importations of this fruit. — Report, DirectorGeneral of Agriculture.
