CATALOGUE AND DESCRIPTION OF FIGS. oS 
Grassale.—From the Garden of the Royal Horticultural Society at Chiswick. 
Small, about 11 inches long by 1 inch wide, turbinate. Neck short and slen- 
der: stalk short; ribs indistinct; eye very small, open: skin waxy, yellow: pulp 
pale violet amber, finely grained; meat white: tree moderate, spreading; leaves 
medium to small, 5-lobed and rounded. It is doubtful if this tree is the true 
Grassale. I take the one described under Matarassa as the true variety of this 
name, ¥
