Mission. 



Manzanillo No. i. Imported by F. Pohndorff from Spain, large regular 

 rounded oval; pit straight, strongly pointed at the apex, nine-sixteenths of an 

 inch long, five-sixteenths of an inch thick. Ripens early, several weeks earlier 

 than the Broad-leaved Mission. The fruit grows on long stems. The pulp 

 parts readily with its bitterness, and is exceedingly rich when pickled. Excel- 

 lent in the San Joaquin Valley both for oil and pickles. 



Manzanillo No. 2. Imported by F. Pohndojff from Spain. As the name 

 ("small apple") indicates, this variety is nearly round, with a pit of rounded 

 oval shape, rather squarely cut off at the base. This variety ripens early 

 several weeks earlier than the Broad-leaved Mission olive; the fruit grows 

 generally singly on long stems.
