Figs — The best kinds are the Brown, White, and Black or 

 Florida fig, the last superior to all others, the fruit large aiid 

 exceedingly rich, skin deep purple, almost black ; trees very 

 productive. The Brown is nearly equal to it — the White is 

 much less luscious, but very large.* 



* " The fig is one of the most luscious of fruits, and grows well in the open ground, 

 with very slight protection ; and on our large water courses, within the precincts of 

 towns, and even against any walls, having an eastern, southern, or western aspect, 

 without any immediate protection. When the plants are young, they should be en- 

 closed for one or two winters in barrels rilled with litter or leaves ; afterwards It is 

 iafflcSenl to surround them with toanchei of evergreens."— 7\ S.-PItattoU.
