  of 
  the 
  other 
  varieties, 
  such 
  as 
  the 
  Manzanillo. 
  The 
  Sevillana 
  variety 
  is 
  graded 
  

   very 
  carefully, 
  running 
  70, 
  80, 
  90, 
  100, 
  and 
  so 
  on 
  per 
  kilo, 
  and 
  this 
  grading 
  

   requires 
  to 
  be 
  done 
  very 
  carefully, 
  making 
  the 
  olives 
  for 
  the 
  American 
  market 
  

   much 
  more 
  expensive 
  than 
  for 
  the 
  Argentine 
  and 
  other 
  markets 
  which 
  do 
  not 
  

   require 
  such 
  an 
  excessively 
  careful 
  grading."

  This

  the 
  Quatro

  olive 
  as 
  noted 
  by 
  Dr. 
  

   Eisen 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Granada, 
  which 
  variety, 
  as 
  the 
  name 
  indicates, 
  is 
  

   peculiar 
  in 
  having 
  four 
  fruits 
  borne 
  together, 
  arranged 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  a 
  cross. 
  

   Beyond 
  this 
  but 
  little 
  is 
  known 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  variety, 
  which 
  may, 
  however, 
  be 
  of 
  

   importance, 
  since 
  very 
  good 
  olives 
  are 
  grown 
  in 
  this 
  region."

  ' 
  ' 
  Since 
  the 
  city 
  and 
  province 
  of 
  Granada 
  get 
  their 
  name 
  from 
  the 
  pomegran- 
  

   ate, 
  it 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  expected 
  that 
  this 
  fruit 
  would 
  have 
  attained 
  great 
  perfection 
  in 
  

   this 
  region. 
  The 
  following 
  collection 
  includes 
  three 
  of 
  the 
  principal 
  varieties 
  

   as 
  grown 
  about 
  Granada. 
  Mr. 
  Pedro 
  Giraud 
  recommends 
  that 
  they 
  be 
  grown 
  

   in 
  espalier 
  against 
  a 
  wall, 
  where 
  they 
  can 
  be 
  irrigated 
  a 
  little 
  during 
  the 
  hot, 
  

   dry 
  Spanish 
  summer. 
  There 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  exportation 
  of 
  pomegranates 
  to 
  England, 
  

   and 
  a 
  small 
  quantity 
  reaches 
  the 
  United 
  States. 
  These 
  are 
  not 
  shipped 
  from 
  

   Granada, 
  but 
  from 
  ports 
  in 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  Spain, 
  especially 
  Valencia."

  in 
  the

  "The 
  figs 
  of 
  Granada 
  are 
  famous 
  for 
  their 
  abundance 
  and 
  good 
  quality. 
  Dr. 
  

   Gustav 
  Eisen 
  has 
  shown 
  that 
  the 
  California 
  mission 
  fig 
  came 
  originally 
  from 
  

   Spain 
  and 
  probably 
  was 
  imported 
  from 
  Granada. 
  It 
  is 
  difficult 
  to 
  imagine 
  a 
  

   variety 
  better 
  adapted 
  to 
  California 
  conditions, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  hoped 
  that 
  some 
  of 
  

   the 
  following 
  will 
  prove 
  equally 
  well 
  suited."

   From 
  its

  'round

  the

  to 
  be
