THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



GOURAUD NOIR. Fruit, about medium size, oblong. Skin, 

 quite black. Flesh, deep red, and deliciously flavoured. 



A very excellent fig, which is much grown in Languedoc, and where 

 I have eaten it from the tree in great perfection. 



GRIZZLY BOURJASSOTTE (Bourjassotte Grise ; Napolitaine). 

 Fruit, about medium size, round, and so much flattened as to be 

 somewhat oblate. Skin, of a chocolate colour, covered with a very 

 thin bloom. Neck, very short. Eye, open. Flesh, of a deep dark 

 blood-red colour, with a thick syrupy juice, and very richly flavoured. 



A delicious fig ; ripe in the end of September. 



Gros de Draguignan. See Agen. 



GROSSE MONSTRUEUSE DE LIPARL Fruit, very large ; 

 three inches wide and nearly as much high ; turbinate and broad and 

 flattened at the apex. Skin, pale chestnut brown, darker on the side 

 exposed to the sun, and marked with darker longitudinal ribs down the 

 sides, and with occasional dark spots, the whole surface covered with a 

 thick bloom. Stalk, short and thick. Eye, large and closed. Flesh, 

 dull red, thick, juicy, and well-flavoured. 



A large and handsome fig of great merit, which I found in an orchard in the 

 department of Bouches de Khone, and introduced to the Royal Horticultural 

 Society. The tree is a good grower and bears abundantly.
