FIGS 
The Fig is one of our most delicious fruits and should be 
served raw with sugar and cream, when preserved, when 
several other different 
ways, it is extremely 
pleasing to most pal¬ 
ates ; and there is always 
a good demand for the 
canned fruit. The trees 
do well almost ever>'- 
where in Florida and 
many other southern 
states. They require 
but little cultivation, and 
this should always be 
shallow, as the roots 
run very near the sur¬ 
face. The varieties we 
offer are amongst the 
most valuable for south¬ 
ern planting.
