CHAP. XVIII.
Of the sweet Orange Apple.
* 1.1THE Tree which bringeth
forth sweet Oranges, is in
Shape not to be distinguished from
the Sowre, the Difference lyes on∣ly
in the Fruit, which hath a thin,
smooth, deep Yellow, and bitter
outside Pill; the inside Pill is mo∣derately
Thick, of a Brimstone
Colour, the Pulpe is full of sweet
and pleasant Juice, divided into
eight Partitions, by particular
Skins or Films; this Juice returns
not back again after the Winter,
as that of the sowre Orange, but
is much longer kept therein.
descriptionPage 58
* 1.2Ferrarius writes, that the Gar∣diners
about Genoa have experien∣ced,
that the place where this
Tree is planted or set, is much to
be regarded, if it stands well to
the Sun, that then the Fruit shall
be of a pleasant sweet Tast; but
if the place be shady, on the con∣trary
Unpleasant, and all shall
seem to turn or change into Bit∣terness.
* 1.3Because the mixed Orange Ap∣ples
are not to be distinguished by
the outward or inward Form, but
only by the Tast; it is thought
needless to give a particular De∣scription
of them.
