296 THE FORCING GARDEN. 



These four kinds are fittest for planting in the 

 border ; the two following for pots or tubs, being 

 naturally dwarfish. 



5. The Brown Italian Fig 



Is small, round, high-flavoured ; brown or russet, 

 when ripe, and red inside. 



6. The Black or Purple Italian Fig 

 Is also a small, round, high-flavoured fruit ; dark- 

 red inside. They are both great bearers. 



GRAPES. 



The varieties of grapes are numerous, and are 

 every year increased by seeds ; so that they may be 

 multiplied to a very great extent. I shall here name 

 and describe twenty-four ; marking those I esteem 

 the best kinds with an asterisk (*.) 



* White Sweet Water. Syrian. 

 White Muscadine. * White Tokay. 



* Royal ditto. * Flame-coloured ditto. 

 Black ditto. * White Passe Mosque. 



* Black Frontinac. * Grecian. 



* White ditto. * White Muscat of Alexandria, 



* Red ditto. * Black ditto. 



* Grizzly ditto. Large Black Cluster. 



* Black Hamburgh. * Black Constantia. 

 White ditto. * White ditto. 

 White Raisin. St Peter's Grape. 

 Red ditto. * Lombardy. 



I shall copy the description from the Forcing 

 Gardener, as formerly given by myself; to which 

 I can add nothing new.
