Strawberries grow in the woods about Patna, 



India was as much beholden to its northern neighbors, in Ber- 

 flier's time, for feveral good fruits, as we are to Spain and Por- 

 tugal for oranges, lemons, almonds. Sec. 8cc. Perfia^ Samar" 

 cand, and Bocbara fiipplied Dehli with frelli melons, apples, 

 pears, and grapes, which were fold at great prices during the 

 whole winter. All forts of dried fruits are brought from the 

 fame countries, fuch as almonds, pillachia nuts, prunes, apricots, 

 raifins, and the like ; the climate of Hindoojlan being too hot 

 for the produ6tion of thofe kinds. Poffibly the difficulties of 

 the roads prevent the modern epicures from getting out of the 

 nearer CaJ]:mere all the fame forts of fruits, befides numbers of 

 European plants which grow there fpontaneoufly. I may alfo 

 add, that nature has given that country our moft valuable foreft 

 trees ; the mountains are cloathed with oaks, elms, plane trees, 

 and pines. 



After the conqueft oi Cabul, Cahdabar, and Cajhmere, loads 

 were annually brought to market. Akbar had his fruitery. 

 In the Ayeen, i. p. 92, begins an enumeration of all the fruits, 

 native or imported, and alfo their feafons : we are told the coun- 

 tries they are brought from, Vind-Abulfazel is particular in point- 

 ing out which were moft agreeable to the imperial palate.
