Figue @’Or.—It is doubtful if this is a synonym of Brunswick, as stated by several 
continental writers. Students of hothouse figs are too ready to lump figs, 
received under different names, together as synonyms, relying principally upon 
resemblances of the first crop, the second crop seldom maturing under glass, 
or at least not maturing to perfection. Thus it has come to pass that many 
of the synonyms given by Dr. Hogg are in reality distinct figs, but which show 
only their true characteristics when growing in suitable localities out of doors 
and in climates favorable to the full development of the figs.

dark, violet in sun, greenish in shade, sometimes greenish with violet flesh. 
Light-gray bloom; pulp rosy red, coarse; meat, rosy white. A very large fig, 
heavy crops and strong growth, coarse quality. The above fig is a different 
fig from the fig described under that name by Dr. Hogg, who regards it 
identical with Marseillaise. (Figs. 60, 61.)

like a flower after having been exposed toa rain storm. Not uncommon in
