FIGS. 327 



BRUNSWICK (Bayswater; Black Naples; Brown Hamburgh; 

 Clementine; Drap tVUr; De 6 T . Jean; Hanover; Madonna; Larye 

 White Turkey ; Red]. Very large and pyriform, oblique at the apex, 

 which is very much depressed. Skin, greenish yellow in the shade, 

 tinged with pale brown on the other side. Flesh, opaline, tinged with 

 very pale flesh-colour towards the centre. 



A very rich and excellent fig. Ripe in the middle of August. The 

 tree is very hardy, but not so good a bearer as the Brown Turkey, It 

 is, however, one of the best for outdoor cultivation against walls. 



CASTLE KENNEDY. Fruit, very large, obovate. Skin, thin, 

 very tender, greenish yellow on the neck and towards the stalk, but 

 pale dingy brown mottled with dull ashy grey on the widest part and 

 towards the eye. Flesh, pale opaline, with slight stains of red round 

 some of the seeds nearest the eye ; very tender, but not richly 

 flavoured. 



A large and handsome fig, remarkable for its earliness, which is 

 nearly three weeks earlier than White Marseilles. The fruit greatly 

 resembles the Brunswick ; but it is entirely distinct in the habit and 

 growth of the plant. The tree is an abundant bearer. 



This variety has existed for upwards of a century at Castle Kennedy, N.B., and 

 has not yet been identified with any other sort. 



CELESTINE. Fruit, large, long, pyriform. Skin, of a pale 

 reddish brown or grizzly colour. Flesh, deep red, and of a rich and 

 very delicious flavour. 



Chestnut-coloured Ischia. See Brown Ischia. 

 Clementine. See Brunswick. 



COL DI SIGNORA BIANCA (Lucrezia). Fruit, medium-sized, 

 pyriform, with a rather long neck, and marked with very distinct 

 longitudinal ribs. Skin, thick, green, but changing to yellowish white, 

 and covered with fine grey bloom. Stalk, short and stout. Eye, 

 closed. Flesh, of the darkest blood-red ; very thick, syrupy, and most 

 delicious. It shrivels and dries well. One of the finest figs in culti- 

 vation. 



COL DI SIGNORA NERO. Fruit, above medium size, long 

 pyriform, with longitudinal ribs running from the stalk towards the 

 apex. Skin, entirely dark chocolate, covered with a thin grey bloom, 

 and when at perfect maturity cracking into irregular markings. Eye, 

 small and open. Flesh, very dark red throughout, like Col di Signora 

 Bianca and Gros de Draguignan ; exceedingly rich and sugary, in fact 

 a perfect conserve. Ripens late. 



Col di Signora Bianca Panachee. See Panachee. 

 Common Purple. See Brown Turkey.
