The Black Tartarian Cherry. — This fruit is identical with the Black Circassian, 
of Hooker's Pora. Lond-, No 31 ; and Frazer's Black Tartarian, and Ronald's 
Large Black Heart, of Forsyth. Treat,, 3d Edition, No. 14 and 13, &c. This 
very excellent cherry, is said to have been introduced into this country in 
1796, from Russia, by the late Mr. John Frazer, and in 1794, fi-otn Circassia, 
by Mr, Hugh Ronalds, of Brentford, author of that excellent work, the "Pyrus 
Malus Brentfordiensis." 
Brunswick Fig. — This is the Madonna^ig, of Forsyth and Miller; and the 
Hanover Fig, of many gardens. Tlie foliage of this variety is larger than that 
of any other, very deeply cut into five narrow lobes. This is one of the most 
useful and hardy kinds in cultivation, not only ripening on east and west 
walls, but on standards, in moderately sheltered situations. It is supposed to 
have been brought into this country, from Italy, by Cardinal Pole, in 1526, 
and planted by him in the gardens attached to the palace at Lambeth. 
There is also a list of the most approved kinds of fruits, not figured and 
described in the Flora and Pomona ; and an index to the fruits already figured 
in the work.
