Description of Botanical Coloring Page: This  fruit  and  the  melon  have been  long  cultivated  in  Syria  and  Egypt.  The Israelites  in  the  wilderness  mourned  for  these fruits,  where  they  would   have  been  specially grateful  (Numbers  11:  5).  In  Isaiah.  1:  8  the  desolation of  Israel  is  compared  to  a  lodge  (the  outlook raised  on  four  poles)  in  a  garden  of  cucumbers, a  familiar  sight  in  Palestine.

Description of Botanical Coloring Page: Bramble, Brier, Thistle, Thorn, are represented by nine Hebrew words in the Old Testament,  and  three  Greek  words  in  the  NewTestament.  Some  of  these  may  refer  to  particular plants ;  but  they  seem  rather to  be  general  terms applied  to  plants  that  may  have  no  connection with  each  other,  except  that  they  all  bear  spines. Such  plants  form  a  considerable  portion  of  the flora  of  Palestine.  The  most  frequent  of  them is  a  knapweed  with  great  spines  proceeding  from the  involucre  of  the  flower  (Centaurea calcitrapa).  Another  is  the  Christ's  thorn,  so  called because  it  is  traditionally  said  to  have  supplied the  materials  of  the  crown  of  thorns  (Pliurau aculeatus),  a  straggling  shrub  with  prickles  at the  base  of  the  leaves,  common  everywhere,  and much  used  for  hedges.  Two  other  spiny  plants are  found  in  the  lower  end  of  the  Jordan  valley, Solanum Sodomoeum,  whose  leaves  and  stems  are covered  with  sliarp  prickles,  and  the  most  formidable of  all,  Zisyphus spina Christi.  Thisproduces  a  roundish  edible fruit,  which  has  given to  it  the  name  of  jujube  tree.  Three  species  of lycium,  shrubs  covered  with  spines,  occur  in Palestine,  and  are  used  for  hedges.  Several species  of  rest-harrow  (Ononis),  some  of  them spiny  like  O. pinosa,  occur  in  Palestine. Hasselquist found one, which he referred to this species, covering whole fields there.

Description of Botanical Coloring Page: Fig  is  frequently  mentioned  in  Scripture. The  fig  (Ficus  carica)  is  indigenous  to  the Middle East; several  varieties  of  the  wild fig  occur,  as  well  as of  those  under  cultivation.  The  so-called  fruit is  a  hollow,  fleshy  receptacle,  at  first  containing a  great  number  of  minute  flowers  lining  its  cavity, which  later  produce  the  true  fruits  (''seeds  "). These  figs  appear  in  February  before  the  leaves, which  do  not  cover  the  tree  until  a  month  or  six weeks  later.  When  the  leaves  are  fully  out,  the fruits  should  be  ripe  (Matthew  21: 19).  Several  Hebrew words  are  used  for  "figs"  teenah  (Genesis  3:  7) is  the  name  of  the  tree;  pag (Song  of  Solomon  2:  13)  is the  unripened  autumn  fruit  which  remains  on the  tree  through  the  winter  (Bethphage,  the village  near  Bethanv,  is  the  "house  of  green figs'");  bikkurah  (Hosea  9:  10)  is  the  first  ripe  fig; and  debelah (1.  Samuel 25:18)  is  the  dried  figs  made into  cakes,  a  staple  food  in  Palestine.    There  are two  species  of  figs  found  in  the  Holy Land,  the common  fig  and  the  sycomore  [q.v.].
