OF FRUITS. SECT. XVIf. 



CHERRY: The sorts may be the early May, 

 May-duke, (ripe in June) white, red, and black 

 hearts, bleeding heart, ox-heart, Turkey, trades- 

 cants, carnation, and morella ; to which may be 

 added, the yellow Spanish, and white Swiss, ripe in 

 August. 



In gathering cherries, take care not to pull the 

 fruit spur off, which is too common a thing. If 

 they are properly ripe, they will part easy from the 

 tree. See pages 31, 38, 89, 95, 109, 166, 169, 

 172. 



CIIESNUT is not a garden fruit, but the manured, 

 or Spanish sort, in an open situation, produces good 

 nuts about Michaelmas, and may be kept all winter, 

 if covered close from the air. See page 79. 



CURRANT, we have a small red and white, with a 

 larger of each, called Dutch currants, the Cham- 

 palgne, or pale red sort, and the black. There are 

 currant trees with variegated leaves, and a sort with 

 a gooseberry leaf. See pages 32, 38, 80, 112, 168, 

 173. 



FIG is a fruit, the sorts of which that are mostly 

 planted without doors in England, are the common 

 large blue, early dwarf blue, early dwarf white> 

 and large white. The first kind is the hardiest; 

 but yet even these do not always ripen well with us 

 in the open air. See pages 30, 78, 108, 111, 15 ? 

 &c. 



FILBERD, we have & white and red sort of, and 

 the latter judged most agreeable in flavour. Other 

 mits are the Spanish, cob, and hazel in variety. The 

 first is a large nut with a thin shell, and the second 

 is a large one with a thick shell, but both are good. 

 There is a sort of nut near two inches long, but 

 it does not kernel well. See pages 38, 74, 80, 

 167.
