 later they were sent to Berkeley, arriving in good condition. (Photo

Figure 15 — Dickey (Two-thirds natural size). In fruit characters, Dickey 

 is an excellent variety but like some other sorts, budded trees sel- 

 dom thrive and only a few are growing out of many hundred propa- 

 gated. (Photo by Division of Citriculture, Berkeley.) I. J. Condit. 



Figure 16 — Ganter (Natural size). These fruits were produced on bud- 

 ded trees and are somewhat larger than those from the original tree. 

 The Ganter is a thin-skinned variety, green in color, and is rather 

 prone to rot at the end and to show cracks and scars. (Photo by

Figure 17 — Northrop (Natural size). The original tree of the Northrop 

 variety bears a large fall crop and a smaller spring crop. The fruits 

 are of excellent flavor and quality and have very little fiber. (Photo

Figure 18 — Puebla (Natural size). The Puebla budwood was brought in 

 from Mexico in 1911 and trees fruited in California first in 1916. 

 The skin is more leathery than granular. The surface is glossy and 

 purplish-red at maturity. Average weight, 8 to 10 ounces. Season, 

 middle of December to March. (Photo by Division of Citriculture.)

Figure 19 — Queretaro (Natural size). This variety first fruited in Cali- 

 fornia in 1916, the budwood having been brought from Mexico in 

 1911. The fruit is disappointing as the seed is large and inclined to 

 be loose in the cavity. The seed coats are thick and separating, and 

 the flesh has considerable fiber. (Photo by Division of Citriculture.)

Figure 20 — Sharpless (Three-fourths natural size). Among the varieties 

 that ripen late in the fall, the Sharpless ranks high. The season in 

 1916 was considerably later than in previous years, some fruits 

 hanging on the tree through January. (Photo by Division of Citri- 

 culture, Berkeley.) I. J. Condit. 



Figure 21 — Solano (About three-fourths natural size). The Solano has a 

 very small seed and a large proportion of flesh. Analyses ?iave shown 

 a low percentage of fat. (Photo by Division of Citriculture.) I. J.

Figure 22 — Taft (Natural size). As a commercial variety the Taft has 

 taken its place in the front rank. Its season is from May to Octo- 

 ber. (Photo by Division of Citriculture.) I. J. Condit. 



Figure 23 — Topa Topa (Natural size). The Topa Topa is a beautiful 

 fruit of the Mexican type with a glossy surface and deep purplish 

 black color. (Photo by Division of Citriculture.) I. J. Condit.
