TIE FIG.-Th he Warrenton North Car
olina,) Reporter, contains the following IN
formation relative to the culture Of this de-
lcous fruit


The Fig may be seen perfection in more
than ono Garden III Warrenton. 1t is Il de-
lcous fruit, wholesome and nutritious. The
Fig with us grows upon bush, which will
be larger or smaller according to- care and
situation. Even here, iii u favourable year
like the present, it begins to ripen before
the peach, and continues to bear until frost.
In Florida it becomes a tree larger than the
Damson. An intelligent gentleman from
Georgia, observes, that there it comes to
great perfection, and with the same or per.
haps i little more attention, it might be
brought to equal maturity here. 1t is d great
bearer, but Slight frost not only destroys
the young fruit and the leaves, but large
portion Of the wood. A few fig bushes will
afford enough for a family. Before the APP
proach OF frost, make OF rails pen around
the bush and coverit well with straw: dur
ing the cold weather, the straw will keep the
tender limbs, and even the young fruit OF the
Fig from injury In the Spring, after all
danger from frost is oyer, remove the COW
ering-the little fruit will immediately be-
gin to grow, and before the expiration of the
month OF June, ana from tncn 10 tnc HrSt oil
October, you will be sure to have that sa-
cred fruit which our Heavenly Father plan
ted III Paradise, as ine as the Fig OF Judea.
