166 FIGS. 



Fruit small, shortly turbinate, and flattened at the 

 apex, one inch and three quarters or two inches 

 in diameter, and nearly the same in height. Skin deep 

 violet. Pulp near the skin white ; the interior envelop- 

 ing the seeds deeply tinged with red. 



The Violet Fig, like the Angelique, is cultivated in 

 the neighbourhood of Paris, and produces two crops an- 

 nually : the autumnal one is the most productive ; and 

 in a warm season the fruit is excellent. 



SECT. III. Fruit yellow, white, or green.

Fruit rather small, somewhat pyramidal, about two 

 inches long, and one inch and three quarters in diame- 

 ter. Skin yellow, mottled with greenish white specks. 

 Pulp white, having the interior which envelopes the seeds 

 tinged with red. 



This sort is somewhat like the Marseilles, but longer, 

 and, like that, in the neighbourhood of Paris, produces 

 two crops annually : the first is usually thin, but the 

 second very abundant; and in a fine season the fruit is 

 excellent. 



19. GENTILE. Miller, No. 14. Forsyth, Ed. 3. 

 No. 15. 



Fruit middle-sized, of a globular figure. Skin yel- 

 low, when fully ripe. Pulp yellow, with large seeds. 

 Its flavour is very good, but it ripens late, and the trees 

 are seldom good bearers, so that it is not much grown 

 in this country.
