of a cherry ; but the latter is said to be of a grateful taste 

 and sweet in that, while in thig it is sour and bitter. 



The finest plants we hBve seen of the Myrtle-leaved 

 Orange-Tree, are in the gardens of Sir Joseph Banks at 

 Spring-Grove ; from a branch of one of which the present 

 drawing was made. The heads of the trees are round, full 

 of regularly disposed branches loaded every year with bloom 

 and fruit. The method pursued by Sir Joseph in obtaining 

 such, has been by ingrafting a full-grown strong stock of the 

 Common Orange, with at least six scions of this variety, 

 instead of a small stock with only one or two, as is the usual 

 practice. 



The species is native of India; and was introduced by 

 Sir Francis Carew before 1595. 



The present variety requires like the others to be kept in 

 a gi*eenhouse during the winter months.
