try

$(document).ready(function () {
          var targetRows = [];
          var rows = $('#mytable tbody tr');
          var tempIndex = [];
          for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
              if ('Orange' == rows[i].cells[0].innerText)
                  tempIndex.push(i);

          var first = tempIndex[0];
          var last = tempIndex[tempIndex.length - 1];
          for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
              if (i >= first && i <= last)
                  targetRows.push(rows[i].cells[0].innerText);
          }
          alert(targetRows.join());
      });
