FRU IT-TREES. 305 

 I have lately had two kinds recommend- 

 ed to me for extraordinary good ones, but 

 I have not feen their fruit j the one is call- 

 ed the Hanover, and the other the Cy- 

 prian fig, but w^hat perfeftions they have 

 I don t know. 



GRAPES. 



There is no certain time to be fixed for 

 the ripening of grapes, but the earlieii: are 

 called the July grapes : there are the white 

 and black, both fmall, with large feeds in 

 them, and are liable to be eat with flies, if 

 they are not guarded from them with bags 

 of crape or the hke. 



The black and white fweet waters : the 

 berries of both are round, but not of equal 

 lize; for there are fome as large as the May 

 cherry, and others, upon the fame bunch, 

 no bigger than a fmall corn of fhot^ but 

 thofe that are large are very good, having 

 a thin Ikin, and full of a pleafant juice, 

 when ripe : they make very thick fiioots, 

 but not long ones ; and as their leaves are 

 large, their branches fliould be laid at a 

 great diftance from one another in the 

 fummer.
