CATALOGUE AND DESCRIPTION OF FIGS. 233 
scales Jarge, standing out, of a pale amber color. Skin smooth, but not 
waxy, of a pale bluish-green with a darker green on the exposed side. Pulp 
amber. with rosy streaks and with many exceedingly minute seeds, and of 
a fine texture. This fig does not belong to the Marseillaise class. It has 
smaller seeds and a finer meat and pulp, and is also more oblong than that 
fig. It is a most excellent fig and one of the very best figs grown in Califor- 
nia. Is suitable for drying as well as fresh. In some localities it is prefera- 
ble to the Marseillaise. This fig can not be too highly recommended and 
will no doubt become one of the most extensively grown figs in California 
and Arizona. (Fig. 58.)

the margin. In drying the pulp turns violet-black. Tree is of medium size, 
leaves woolly, lobes shallow and rounded. Introduced trom Itaiy by W. B. 
West, but sold to Mr. Endrich, of Stockton, Cal., who lost the original name. 
Again propagated, and distributed by Mr. W. B. West and others under 
the name of ENDRICH. Generally a poor fig, but said in some localities 
to be very excellent; especially so around Stockton. according to Mr. West. 
Farther inland, in the San Joaquin Valley, this fig is very poor and almost 
worthless. Some trees sent out under this name are identical with Rubado.
