There is alio a great Variety of 

 Oranges with ftrip'd Leaves, to be 

 found in the curious CollevStions of 

 thefe Trees, which differ in the 

 Colour or Manner of the Stripes or 

 Blotches ; but thefe I fh.ill pafs over,^ 

 and proceed fir ft to the Manner of 

 railing them from Seed. 



If you purpofe to raife Stocks 

 for budding of Oranges, you fliould 

 procure fome C/Vro«-Seeds which 

 were duly ripcn'dj for the Stocks 

 of this ICind are preferable to 

 any other, both for Quicknefs of 

 Growth, as alfo that they will take 

 Buds of cither Orange, Lemon, or 

 Citron : The beft Seeds arc ufually 

 to be had from rotten Fruits, 

 which are commonly cafy to be 

 procur'd in the Spring of the Year : 

 Then prepare a good Hot-bed of 

 cither Horfe-dung or Tanners-tark, 

 the laft of which is by much the 

 better, if you can ealily procure it : 

 When this Bed is in a moderate 

 Temper for Heat, you muft fow 

 your Seeds in Pots of good rich 

 Earth, and plunge them into the 

 Hot-bed, obfervmg to gi\"e them 

 Water frequently, and fliade the 

 GlalTes with Mats in the great 

 Heat of the Day; and raifmg the 

 Glaftes to give proper Air, left the 

 Seeds {houli fufter by too great 

 Heat: In three Weeks-time your 

 Seeds will come up; and if the 

 young Plants are not ftunted, either 

 for want of proper Heat or Moi- 

 flure, they will be in a Month's- 



A u 



time after their Appearance, fit to 

 tranfpiant into fmgle Pots; you 

 n.uft therefore renew your Hot- 

 bed ; and having prcpar'd a Quan- 

 tity of fm all Half-penny Pors, (which 

 are about five Inches over at the 

 Top) fill this half full of good frelh 

 Earth, mix'd with very rotcen Cow- 

 dung,- and then ftiake out the young 

 Plants from the large Pots, with 

 all the Earth about them, that you 

 may the better feparate the Plants 

 without tearmg their Roots; and 

 having put a fingic Plant into each 

 of the (mall Pots, fill them up with 

 the fame Earth as uetoie direfted, 

 plunging the Pots into the new 

 Hot-bed, giving them a good Wa- 

 tering to fix the Earth to their 

 Roots, and obferve to repeat the 

 fame very often, (for this Plant, 

 when in a Hot-bed, requires much 

 Water) and be fure to fcreen them 

 from the Sun in the Heat of the 

 Day : In this Method, with due 

 Care, your Plants will grow to be 

 two Feet high by y«/y». *^en you 

 muft begin to harden tY by De- 

 grees, in railing your C ''JJes very 

 highj and when the Weather is 

 good, take them quite off, but da 

 not expofe them to the open Sun 

 in the Heat ot the Day, which 

 would be very injurious to them, 

 cfpecially while young : Toward 

 the End of September you muft 

 houie them, obferving to place 

 them near the Windows of the 

 Green-houfe, to prevent the Damps 

 from moulding their tender Shoots: 

 During the Winter- Staibn they 

 may be often refrefli'd with Water, 

 but it muft be done fparingly, 

 giving them buc a little each time ; 

 and in March or April, wafti their 

 Heads and Stems, to clear them 

 from the Filth that may have fet- 

 tled thereon during their being in 

 the Houfe^ and you muft alio give 



them
