does Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel say?

va'Ya'avor es ha'Kushi" (Shmuel); "ve'Hu Avar Lifneihem" (Vayeira);

the Esrog free?

(a) The Mishnah in Shevi'is lists various types of plants that are Patur
from Ma'aser (during the other six years) and which one may purchase from
anyone in the Shemitah year.
Why are they all Patur from Ma'aser?
(b) What is the source for this Halachah?

which permitted the purchase of three meals worth from an Am ha'Aretz during
the Shemitah year, but no more?
(d) What do we learn from the Pasuk in Daniel "va'Yiman Lahem Hamelech"?
6)
If one is forbidden to buy an Esrog from an Am ha'Aretz in the Shemitah
