#j o Some TSLew Voyages 



There are two forts of Nut-trees in this Country. 

 The one bears rounds and the other long, Nuts • 

 but neither of 'em is good for any thing, no more 

 than the wild Chefnuts that grow in the Ilinefc 

 Country. 



The Apples that grow upon fome of their Ap- 

 ple-trees, eat well when they are Codled, but they 

 are good for nothing when they're Raw. Upon 

 the Miffijip indeed, there's a fort of Apples that have 

 a tafte not unlike that of fome European Apples. The 

 Pears are good, but very fcarce. 



The Cherries are fmall, and extream red ; and 

 though their tafte is not good, yet the Roe-bucks 

 like 'em fo well, that in the Summer time they fcarce 

 ever mifs to lye under the Cherry-trees all Night 

 long, efpeciallyif it-blows hard. 



This Country affords three forts of excellent Plums* 

 which bear no xefemblance to ours either in figure 

 or colour. Some are long and fmall, fome are round 

 and thick, and fome very little. 



The Vines twine round the Trees to the very top ; 

 and the Branches of thofe Trees are fo cover'd with 

 Grapes, that one would take the Grape to be the 

 fruit of the Tree. In fome Countries of North- 

 America, the Grape is little, but very well tafted j 

 but towards the MtJJififi, 'tis long and thick, and fo 

 k the clufter. There has been fome Wine prefs'd 

 from the Grapes of that Country, which after long 

 ftanding became as fweet as Canary, and as black 

 as Ink. 



The Citrons of North- America are fo call'd, only 

 becaufe their form refembles that of our Citron., 

 Inftead of a Rind, they have only a fingle Skin. They 

 grow upon a Plant that rifes three Foot highland do's 

 not bear above three or four at a time. This Fruit 

 is as wholfomas its Root is dangerous ; for the one 

 is very Healthy, and the juice of the other is a mor- 

 tal fubtile Poyfon. While I ftay'd at Fort Front*-
