  Fertile \Fer"tile\ (? or ?; 277), a. [L. fertilis, fr. ferre to
     bear, produce: cf. F. fertile. See Bear to support.]
     1. Producing fruit or vegetation in abundance; fruitful; able
        to produce abundantly; prolific; fecund; productive; rich;
        inventive; as, fertile land or fields; a fertile mind or
        imagination.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Though he in a fertile climate dwell. --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. (Bot.)
        (a) Capable of producing fruit; fruit-bearing; as, fertile
            flowers.
        (b) Containing pollen; -- said of anthers.
            [1913 Webster]
  
     3. produced in abundance; plenteous; ample.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Henceforth, my early care . . .
              Shall tend thee, and the fertile burden ease
              Of thy full branches.                 --Milton.
  
     Syn: Fertile, Fruitful.
  
     Usage: Fertile implies the inherent power of production;
            fruitful, the act. The prairies of the West are
            fertile by nature, and are turned by cultivation into
            fruitful fields. The same distinction prevails when
            these words are used figuratively. A man of fertile
            genius has by nature great readiness of invention; one
            whose mind is fruitful has resources of thought and a
            readiness of application which enable him to think and
            act effectively.
