the hasty3 parallels

"No sooner ," says Dr. Shaw , "doth the boccore (or early fig) draw near to perfection in the middle or latter end of June , than the kermez or summer fig , begins to be formed , though it rarely ripens before August; about which time the same tree frequently throws out a third crop , or winter fig , as we may call it. This is usually of a much longer shape and darker complexion than the kermez hanging and ripening upon the tree , even after the leaves are shed; and , provided the winter proves mild and temperate , is gathered as a delicious morsel in the spring."
