Grapes. — In this district the Vinifera, or Old World, varieties are grown 

 nearly to the exclusion of American sorts. On account of the destructiveness 

 of the phylloxera it is necessary to propagate the vines on stocks or roots that 

 are resistant to that insect except in the case of the "direct producers," which 

 are themselves resistant to the phylloxera. 



The folloAving varieties are named for district 14, and especially for Cali- 

 fornia northward from a region somewhat south of Los Angeles: White — 

 Alexandria, Green Hungarian, Palomino, Sultanina; red — Aramon, Flame 

 Tokay, Barbarossa, Chasselas dc Fontainbleau ; black — Bellino, Gross Colman, 

 Muscat Hamburg, Zinfandel. 



^ Used largely for canning. 



^ Though used for canning and for shipping fresh, Muir and Lovell are of impor- 

 tance largely for drying. 



" See comment on page 00 concerning the self -sterility and intersterility of sweet 

 cherry varieties. 



* Several varieties of figs of the Smyrna type are grown in district 14. In parts of 

 California they are being planted on a large commercial scale. Perhaps the Lob Ingir 

 variety is one of the most important. Smyrna figs require caprification in order to 

 develop fruit; hence, caprifig trees must be planted with Smyrna figs. The ama- 

 teur groAver not otherwise informed should seek further advice before planting figs 

 of this type.
