\title{Growth of Orange Trees}
\description{
  The \code{Orange} data frame has 35 rows and 3 columns of records of
  the growth of orange trees.
}
\usage{Orange}
\format{
  An object of class
  \code{c("nfnGroupedData", "nfGroupedData", "groupedData", "data.frame")}
  containing the following columns:
  \describe{
    \item{Tree}{
      an ordered factor indicating the tree on which the measurement is
      made.  The ordering is according to increasing maximum diameter.
    }
    \item{age}{
      a numeric vector giving the age of the tree (days since 1968/12/31)
    }
    \item{circumference}{
      a numeric vector of trunk circumferences (mm).  This is probably
      \dQuote{circumference at breast height}, a standard measurement in
      forestry.
    }
  }
}
\details{
  This dataset was originally part of package \code{nlme}, and that has
  methods (including for \code{[}, \code{as.data.frame}, \code{plot} and
  \code{print}) for its grouped-data classes.
