fees |HE feveral Kinds of Figs that are worth our cultivating in 
pS | England, are the White, the Blue, and the Black. 
FIGS in general produce double Crops every Year in their native 
Soils and Climates ; but in England we have no other Kind but the 
Short White Fig, chat produces andripens two Crops every Year : The firft 
Crop, (fig. I. Plate LH.) is ripe about Fuly 10. and the fecond Crop, 
Fig. I. (which is ahwass much Iefs than the a about September 10. 
THE Long Blue Fig: (Fig. If. Plate LU. ) isthe next, which ripens 
about the Beginning: of Auguft, and at- the fame Time the Tawney Fig, 
(Fig. III.) is alfo ripe :- They are both. very: good Fruits, but nothing 
: eomapeble to the Black Fig, (Fig. 1.) which is a3 Auguft 26. 
THE firft Crop of Figs are always produced on the laft Year’s 
Wood, and are form’d at the fame Time when the Shoots are. 
IN March they are vifible, as a.4a, Ge. Fig. U1. Plate LIV ; but in 
April they are grown much larger, as A A, Big. I. Plate X. being entirely 
deliver’d from ‘Gee Womb: within, the Bark, and perfect in their Forms. 
And we may here again behold how. carefully Nature attracts Nourifh- 
ment to the young Fruit, by timely expanding the Leaves beyond them, 
which vigoroufly draw up ae whilft all the Buds below are
