AGEN {Oros de Braguignan). — Fruit, medium sized, roundish tur- 

 binate. Skin, green, with a brownish tinge, but round the crown, 

 which is very flat, it is quite deep brown or chocolate, coloured with 

 a mixture of green ; and when fully ripe it cracks in white reticula- 

 tions. It is covered with a pretty blue bloom. The eye is open, and 

 has a dark brown, or rather reddish brown, iris round the opening. 

 Flesh, of a very dark blood colour, almost as much so as in the Col 

 di Signora, thick and syrupy ; most delicious. One of the finest figs I 

 know. It ripens late. 



ANGELIQUE (Melitte, Madeleine ; Petaluse ; Courcourelle Blanche). 

 — ^Below medium size, about two inches long, and an inch and three 

 quarters broad; roundish turbinate, and flattened Uke an onion. 

 Skin, yellow, dotted with long greenish white specks. Flesh, white 

 under the skin, but with a faint tinge of rose towards the centre. 



When well ripened, the fruit is of good quality, and perfumed. It 

 forces well, and may be grown against a wall in the open air.
