FIGS—NEGEO LAKGO AND LAMBTON SEEDLING. 
f OAN fully endorse and confirm all that Mr. Bust says at page 8 as to 
the excellence of the Negro Largo Fig, when cultivated in a small state, 
? either in pots or planted out, having tried it both ways for the last two years. 
Along with the Negro Largo I last year grew several plants of a seedling 
Fig I got from Mr. Hunter, of Lambton Castle, two or three years ago; and 
now having grown it by the side of the Negro Largo, I have no hesitation in saying 
that, to my mind, the seedling is the best fig of the two. Many gentlemen saw 
it growing here last summer, and some who had resided in Italy, and were well 
acquainted with Figs, tasted it, and pronounced it delicious in flavour, and as 
compared with Negro Largo, superior. I hope, if spared, to send samples to some 
of the Royal Horticultural Society’s meetings during the coming season, and I 
trust that Mr. Hunter will soon be able to give it to the public, and put it into 
the hands of Fig-growers generally, who I am sure will find it as great a boon as 
was the Negro Largo, of which I have not one word to say in disparagement.—

HE stage at which we have now arrived in the education of these trees, is 
that in which they should begin to give a fair return for the time and 
labour expended on them, by a liberal supply of fruit. When I say liberal, 
I mean, however, that the supply must be proportioned to the strength of
