hills than to cultivate them. Besides, the trees bearing the boghadhes 
generally grow in frost-free places in the hills, the frost in the orchards 
_ being apt to kill both the figs and the wasps. 
Names of the crops.—In order to avoid misunderstandings, the 
various crops are given distinct names in all foreign countries where 
fig culture is prominent. Thé crops of the eaprifig, which not always 
correspond with the crops of the edible figs, are named differently. 
The following table will give a clearer idea of these names. As the 
English language has no suitable names for the various crops of the 
caprifig and the fig, I propose that we, for the early first crop of edible 
figs, adopt the Spanish name ‘‘brebas,” and that we simply eall the 
second crop of edible figs ‘‘figs,” or autumn figs. For the caprifig I 
believe we can do no better than adopt the nomenclature of the German 
specialists who now use the Neapolitan names profichi, mammoni, 
andmamme. Dr. L. O. Howard! questions the existence of three dis- 
tinct crops of figs. This question is not yet settled, and while it may 
prove botanically correct to refer to the crops as only two—figs which 
attain their full size on the old wood, and figs which attain their full 
size in the axillaries of the leaves—still it certainly is horticulturally 
convenient to speak of the fig crops as if they were three distinct 
ones, even if the three crops are not always found on the same tree.
