Seedless Oranges, A Historical Note. 



The first record of seedless oranges I have been able to find 

 is in an old work of Ferrarius,' a Jesuit priest, and native of 

 Sienna, Italy. He describes in somewhat peculiar and at times 

 bombastic style the citrus fruits observed in the gardens and green- 

 houses of Italy, as also those he heard of from missionaries and 

 travellers in China, the Philippines and India, where oranges are 

 native. His seedless orange described on p. 381 is a real "navel" 

 orange though the apex of the fruit scarcely shows this. Other 

 "navel" oranges are shown which are not quite seedless. The 

 seedless fruit is described in a paragraph under the heading: 

 "Auranliuvi sine seniine" and the fruit is described as having a 

 pleasant flavor.
