Second crop drops. <A fig common in northern Italy, and cultivated for its 
first-crop figs. Also common in Algarve, Portugal. Link says that in Por- 
tugal the first crop of this variety is called ‘‘figos Lampas,” and is especially 
cultivated around Tavira,in Algarve. The second crop he designates as 
‘**figos vendimos,” which is probably an error, the author having good ground 
to believe that the ‘‘ figos vendimos” -ome from a different variety. This fig 
belongs to the San Pedro class, the trees sent to Niles through the Department 
of Agriculture having matured splendid second-crop figs after having been 
caprificated. It is certain, however, that the Lampeira is one of the finest of 
all first-crop figs, and that it should be widely distributed. What the White 
San Pedro is for Andalusia in producing the luscious brebas the Lampeira is 
for southern Portugal. (Fig. 71.)
