332 Outlook for the fig. 
Celeste. It does well in the Santa Clara Valley, but is inferior in the in- 
terior of the State. 
There are many undetermined varieties of the fig grown 
here and there in the State. Some may be finally identified, 
others: may be new. Some of them yield an excellent dried 
fruit and should be more carefully experimented with. During 
the last decade there has. been a marked decline in interest in the 
fig because of the failure to secure the Smyrna type in the dried 
fruit and because so many varieties soured before drying. The 
outlook rests upon successful caprification, although recently 
there has been increased success in profitable drying of other 
varieties.
