Gardens have been fupplied from 

 Genoa, where is the great Nurfery 

 for the feveral Parts of Europe for 

 this Sort, as alfo Orange and Le- 

 mon-trees : and the Gardeners who 

 cultivate them there, are as fond of 

 introducing a new Variety to their 

 Colle&ion, as the Nurfery-men in 

 England are of a new Pear, Apple, 

 Peach, . fo that the Varieties be- 

 ing annually increafed, as are many 

 of our Fruits from Seeds, there is 

 like to be no End of the Variety of 

 thefe, nor of the Orange and Le- 

 mon-trees. 



The moft valuable Kind of thefe 

 Fruits is the fifth, which is in fo 

 great Efteem, that the fingle Fruits 

 are fold at Florence for two Shillings 

 each, and are fent as Prefents to the 

 Courts of Princes. This Fruit is 

 not to be had in Perfection in any 

 other Parts of Italy, but in the 

 Plain between Pi/a and Leghorn: 

 2nd although Trees of this Kind 

 have been tranfplanted from that 

 Spot to divers other Parts of Italy, 

 yet they are found to lofe much of 

 that excellent Tafte with which they 

 abound in thofe Plains. 



The feveral Sorts of Citrons are 

 cultivated much in the fame manner 

 as the Orange-tree; to which I fhall 

 refer the Reader, to avoid Repeti- 

 tion : but fhall only remark, that 

 thefe are fomewhat tenderer than 

 the Orange, and mould therefore 

 have a warmer Situation in Winter ; 

 otherwife they are very fubjecl to 

 caft their Fruit. They mould alfo 

 continue a little longer in the Houfe 

 in the Spring, and be carried in again 

 fooner in the Autumn ; as alfo have 

 a warmer and better defended Situ- 

 ation in the Summer, though not too 

 much expofed to the Sun in the 

 Heat of the Day. 



And as their Leaves are larger, 

 $nd their Shoots flronger, than thofe 



C L 



of the Orange, they require a great- 

 er Plenty of Water in the Summer; 

 and in Winter they mould have but 

 little Water at each time, which muft 

 be the oftener repeated. The Soil 

 ought to be much the fame as for 

 the Orange-tree, but not quite fo 

 flrong. 



The common Citron is much the 

 beft Stock to bud any of the Orange 

 or Lemon Kinds upon, it being the 

 ftraitefl: and freeft-growing Tree r 

 the Rind is fmoother, and the Wood 

 lefs knotty, than either the Orange 

 or Lemon, and will take either Sort 

 full as well as its own Kind; which 

 is what none of the other Sorts will 

 do : and thefe Stocks, if rightly 

 managed, will be very flrong the 

 fecond Year after fowing, capable to 

 receive any Buds, and will have 

 Strength to force them out vigorouf- 

 ly ; whereas it often happens, when 

 thefe Buds are inoculated into weak 

 Stocks, they frequently die, or re- 

 main till the fecond Year before 

 they put out : and thofe that Ihoot 

 the next Spring after budding, are 

 oftentimes fo weak as hardly to be 

 fit to remain, being incapable to 

 make a ftrait handfome Stem, which 

 is the great Breauty of thefe Trees*
