   Fertile \Fer"tile\ (? [or] ?; 277), a. [L. fertilis, fr. ferr[?]
      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.
  
                     Though he in a fertile climate dwell. --Shak.
  
      2. (Bot.)
            (a) Capable of producing fruit; fruit-bearing; as, fertile
                  flowers.
            (b) Containing pollen; -- said of anthers.

      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.
