THE ORANGE-OAK
Cut top from a fair-sized orange and scrape out pulp. Be careful not to remove any of the white pith (the white skin). Half fill with a little good soil; put an acorn in, with cup side down, and cover with
earth to the top. Don’t water till shoot appears; then only once in three weeks with a tablespoonful of water. As the roots .push through the orange skin snip off with a pair of sharp scissors. This is, on the plan of. the Japanese gardens which never grow large. Your tree will remain a midget oak for years.
