FErrarius calls this in Latin Aurantium Vulgare, that is, the common Orange Tree▪ and hath three Sorts, distinct in the Tast.
For the first is Sowre, the se∣cond Sweet, the third of a Mixt, that is, of a Tast between Sowre and Sweet.
* 1.2The sowre Orange, hath a sad pale and grainy Pill without, a sharp Smell, the Pulpe is Yellow, Sowre, divided by Skins into eight, and sometimes into nine Partiti∣ons.

When these Apples hang on the Tree the Winter over, to the next Spring, they grow dry within, and the Juice or Sap re∣turns back, to the further Nour∣ishment of the new Fruits; there∣fore it is better (as well for the Trees as the Apples) to cut and take them off in due time.
