Figs The best kinds are the Brown, White, and Black 

 or Florida fig, the last superior to all others, the fruit large 

 and exceedingly rich, skin deep purple, almost black ; trees 

 very productive. The brown is nearly equal to it the 

 White is much less luscious, but very large.* 



/ 



* The fig i? one of the most luscious of fruit?, and grows well in the open ground, 

 with very slight protection ; and on our large water courses, within the precincts of 

 to\vns, and even against any walls, having an eastern, southern, or western aspect, 

 without any immediate protection. When the plants are young, they should be en- 

 closed for one or two winters in barrels filled with litter or leaves; afterwards it is 

 sufficient to surround them with branches of evergreens." T. S. Pleasants.
