The Trifoliate orange has been used for ages in China and Japan as a stock upon which to bud the cultivated citrus fruits, and about the middle of the last century it was brought to notice in England as a stock for the kumquat. This latter species itself was, however, only a curiosity, and apparently very few experiments were made in Europe with the Trifoliate orange as a stock for oranges, lemons, and other common citrus fruits. About a quarter of a centur}' ago the Trifoliate orange began to be used in this country as a stock for the Satsuma orange, as well as for other citrus fruits. It was found that all grow well on this stock, and that it had a tendency to force early and profuse bearing, at the same time dwarfing the tree somewhat. [Cir. 46].
