CALIFORNIA FRUITS: HOW TO GROW TIIKM 



Nevadillo Blanco. Imported by F. Pohndorff from Spain. Oval, slightly 

 oblique, pointed, resembling somewhat a Mission, but is generally more elon- 

 gated in proportion to its diameter than the latter; pit small, curved, and gen- 

 erally pointed at both ends; the fruit is borne in clusters of three to five; 

 ripening not much earlier than the Mission; a fine oil olive, largely planted, but 

 disappointing in some regions as a shy bearer and subject to frost injury. 



Ascolano Olive. 



Manzanillo Olive. 



Sevillano, or Queen Olive. 



Oblitsa. Imported by the late G. N. Milco from Dalmatia; resembles the 

 Pendulier, and may be identical ; tine in the San Joaquin Valley ; very large 

 oval, but broad and rounded at both ends; grows in clusters; tree a good 

 grower, hardy and productive; fruit excellent for pickles; ripens in November 

 in the interior about the same as the Mission.
