222 THE FIG: ITS HISTORY, CULTURE, AND CURING. 
Bucuelle—France. 
Bulletin Black—PURPLE SMYRNA. (See Smyrna figs, p. 279.) 
Bulletin Smyrna—Lop INGir.—Under this name four distinct varieties imported 
from Smyrna have been distributed by G. P. Rixford, of the San Francisco 
Evening Bulletin. For a history of these figs see ‘* Early fig culture in Cali- 
fornia.”” It was soon found that the figs dropped regularly before maturity, 
and up to the year 1891 not a single fig had matured. That year some 30 figs 
were pollinated by Mr. E. W. Maslin and the author, all apparently arriving at 
full and perfect maturity, 
thus proving the value of 
the figs and their genuine- 
ness. Previous to this, 
however, most of the fig 
trees distributed had been 
destroyed as unproductive.

this fig, differing in shape, size, and color of the fruit, as well as in the shape of 
the leaves, which in some are almost entire, in others very deeply lobed. Some 
varieties bear three crops a year, others two, and some only one crop. The 
varieties are suited to different localities. The caprifig is indigenous to south-

France. (Fig. 49.) For description of named varieties of caprifigs see p. 279.
