Signior Francesco Lana, in his Prodromus 

 to some philosophical discoveries, tells us, 

 that there is a way of producing oranges, 

 without sowing or planting the trees, only by 

 infusing the flowers in oil of almonds; for 

 that this oil will, every year afterwards, at 

 the proper season, produce both flowers and 

 ripe oranges.
