Orange 6Iossoms.

The origin OF the custom OF wearing
orange blossoms as bridal ornaments
has been variously accounted for: ~
This custom Is said to have originated
among the Saracen brides. and to have
ben introduced into Europe by the
Crusaders. The Saracens REGARDED
the orange tree as the emblem of to
cundity, since 1t bore blossoms and
II ait at the same time. az According
to another theory. orange blossoms
were worn by brides. not only on 40
count Of their agreeable odor. but also
on account OF their rarity and conse.
quent high price. (3l This custom 70
said to have taken its rise In Spain.
where oranges have been successfully
cultivated for centuries, and to have
spread thence all over Europe.
