The Cultivated Oranges And Lemons Of India And Ceylon

The Author originally commenced it with a commercial object, that is, to show the numerous varieties of oranges, lemons, &c., now to be found in India, and their economic value. If not for export, at least there is room for an extended internal trade in these fruits, and for the development of certain industries from them in India. Besides the fresh fruit, the preserves made from it might be largely supplied in India instead of importing them. Then, essential oils and citric acid might, in due course, be also manufactured. The reader will understand that the grouping of these citrus, is in some cases rather arbitrary, for want of sufficient knowledge of the different varieties. This is the case especially with the lemon group.
