The Luxuries of Lemons

Growing up in the PNW citrus fruits were highly prized. So, in the tradition of these luxurious fruits that were brought to the Northwest by train and delivered by wagon during the holidays and wintertime was quite a feat and thereby greatly appreciated. Even in the 1950s having an orange in your holiday stocking was a real treat with a traveler’s story.
