 of this Fruit, with which the Eng- 

 lifli Gardens have been liipply'd 

 from Genoa, where is the great 

 Nuiicry for the feveral Parts of 

 Europe for thele Sorts of Trees:

 them there, are as fond of intro- 

 ducing a new Variety to tJisir 

 Colie<aion, as the Nurlery-men ia 

 Engla?jd are of a new Fear, Apple, 

 Peach, &c. So that the Varieties 

 being annually increafed, as are 

 any of our Fruits from Seeds, there 

 is like to be no End of the Variety 

 of thefe, nor of the Orange and 

 Lemon-Trees.

 Fruits is the fifth, which is in ib
