CitrDs, Linn. This genus is said to have its name 
from the town Citron, in Judea. Linn. 18, Or. 2, 
Nat. Or. Aurantiacex. This is an ornamental genus 
of fruit trees, growing from three to fifteen feet 
high ; they thrive best in a good loamy soil, mixed 
with a quantity of rotten dung. They do not like 
much pot-room, nor too much water, when in a 
growing state. The different kinds are procured 
by budding or grafting on common stocks, which, 
as soon as operated upon, should be placed in some 
close frame, in a moderate dung heat. Stocks for 
working upon are raised from any oranges, lemons, 
&c. They are sometimes raised from cuttings, in 
which case they produce fruit when very small 
plants, ^
