Meehans' monthly : a magazine of horticulture, botany and kindred subjects . —The useful and the beautiful are not alwayscombined in vegetables, but they are not theless welcome when they are. The pepperfamily, as the various forms of CapsicuDi aretermed, is of the combined class. ^Ir. Burpee is sending out a variety he calls INIikado. It isflat on the upper surface, and four of the fivelobes would represent a ^Maltese cross. Fromthe name, it might be thought to be a varietyof the Asiatic Capsicum Chinense, but on thiswe are not informed. Pomelo, versus Gr.pe-Fruit.—In the Marchissue of Meehans ^Monthly, there was abeautiful picture of a portion of a Pomelo tree, with the large fruits hanging upon the pen-dent branches. Of all the citrus fruit, there isnone that makes a more beautiful showing onthe tree than the Pomelo. Its size is more thanthree times that of the orange, and its clearlemon-yellow shines against the backgroundof dark green foliage. The taste is deliciouswhen one understands how to eat this fruit.The rind is bitter, and should never come in. MIKADO PEPPER. contact with the mouth, —nor should the in-side skin and septiments. The proper way toeat a Pomelo is to cut it through crosswise ofthe axis, and, with a spoon, dip out the juice.Some prefer a sprinkling of sugar over the cutsurface before eating. But the name Pomelo is that which shouldbe used instead of the ridiculous and absurdtitle Grape-fruit. There is no sensible reasonwhy the former should not be used under allcircumstances. It is the name by which it iscalled in its East Indian home, with suchslight variations as pummelo, pomelow, etc. It is short, simple, euphonic and historic.There is no remote resemblance in either treeor fruit to the grape, but the pomological sincommitted by some one in Florida, who startedthe name Grape-fruit, has descended to thepresent day. Let us not perpetuate and propa-gate it. Talk, write and eat Pomelos, and en-joy one of the best and most wholesome things
