few figs, 1 or 2 dozen tothe tree. Second crop abundant; leaves broad, round, 
3 lobed. Treea heavy grower and fine bearer. One of the very best figs, suit-

dry lands. Gallesio supposes the Dottato to be identical with the Smyrna 
varieties, which is a mistake; neither is it identical with the Datte as grown 
around Salon and Eyrique,in Provence. This latter fig has a dark, rosy pulp, 
but is otherwise similar to the Dottato, and is probably avariety of that Italian
