crop, medium, pulp less pink, more amber, smaller than Adriatic, but sweeter, 
and never becomes sour, at least not at Atwater, Cal. A delicious fig, which 
the author has not been able to identify with any of the foreign kinds, though 
it undoubtedly comes very near to Verdone. Fully ripe fruit sent from San 
Joaquin Valley, California, June 26. It is probable that this, as well as 
‘‘Atwater,” belongs to the importations of fig varieties by the late G. N. Milco. 
The Peters White ripens about one week later than Atwater. Named for 
J. D. Peters, in whose orchard the trees were found.
