As their feild produce European Wheat & barley  so their Gardens produce the same kinds of vegetables as we have in Europe  Cabbages  turnips  potatoes  Asparagus  Brocoli &c. &c. are all plentifull & excellent in their kinds  their fruits are also the same  Apples  Pears  oranges  Peaches apricots & figgs &c. of Indian fruits they have plantains  Guavas & Jambu but neither of these in any kind of perfection
