CALIFORNIA FRUITS: HOW TO GROW THEM 





Polymorpha. 



Nevadillo. 



Oblonga. Imported by John Rock from France. An olive of a peculiar, 

 club-like shape, being narrow at the stem end, broad at the point, rounded and 

 strongly oblique; generally pointed at both ends. The pulp loses its bitter- 

 ness comparatively quickly in pickling. This olive ripens quite early at least 

 two or three weeks earlier than the Broad-leaved Mission; color, dark purple. 



Fendoulicr. Large, oval, slightly curved at apex end; desirable for pick- 

 ling; early ripening in October in the interior valley and in November in coast 

 valleys.
