REGALIS 

 Fruit of medium size, 12 x 16-sixteenths of an inch, broadly ovate; 

 ripening unevenly, the quality being rather inferior ; season middle of 

 November to the middle of December. Tree of medium size, tender 

 to frost, blossoming from April 20 to May 10. Makes fairly satis- 

 factory ripe olive pickles but is said to be of little value for oil. 



COLUMELLA 



Fruit of small to medium size, 12 x 15-sixteenths of an inch, round- 

 ish-ovate, tapering to a roundish point at the apex, with very rich 

 flavor and little bitterness ; season of ripening very late, from Decem- 

 ber to January, the fruit hanging on the tree until spring. Tree vig- 

 orous, hardy, prolific, blossoming from April 5 to 25. The season of 

 this olive is too late to warrant commercial plantings in Arizona. 



NEVADILLO 



Fruit of small to medium size, 11 x 15-sixteenths of an inch, 

 elongated-ovate, slightly pointed and somewhat resembling the Mission 

 olive; usually borne in clusters of three to five; season of ripening 

 from the middle of October to December. Tree large, vigorous, a 

 regular bearer, rather tender to frost, blossoming from April 10 to 25. 

 This variety does not make high quality pickled olives, but is said 

 to be very satisfactory for oil. 



CAYON 



Fruit of small to medium size, 12 x 14-sixteenths of an inch, ovate, 

 rounded at both ends ; season of ripening from the middle of Novem- 

 ber to the middle of December. Tree of medium size, with thick 

 growth of top, blossoming from April 10 to 25, self-fertile. This 

 variety has proved a shy bearer in Arizona. 



RUBRA 



Fruit of small size, 10 x 14-sixteenths of an inch, similar in shape 

 to that of the Mission ; flesh very soft when the fruit is ripe ; season 

 of ripening from November 1 to the middle of December. Tree of 

 medium size, hardy, slow growing, and only fairly productive, blossom- 

 ing from April 10 to 25. This variety cannot be recommended as a 

 ripe pickle olive. 



CORREGGIOLA 



Fruit of small size, 10 x 16-sixteenths of an inch, oblong, tapering 

 slightly towards the stem end. ripening unevenly from December to
