A friend sent me two months ago several specimens of native wild oranges, from Orange County, Central Florida. They were of medium size and of the rich color of the Mandarin. Some used instead of lemons in "lemonade" gave a splendid acid with a slight bitter taste. If this taste could be removed by some simple process I should decidedly prefer their acid to that of lemons. But the special forte of these wild oranges to me is the remarkable richness and volume of the perfume. A single specimen has proved sufficient to so pervade a room 14 by 16 with its rich odor that any day during two months I have had it a stranger would detect it on entering. If they average as good keepers as those of mine, why should there not be a market for them because of their fragrance? The fruits of the earth address the nose and eye as well as the mouth, and I know not why a single sense should monopolize them. Marblehead, Mass.
