f 
other mulberries. It makes better pies than 
blackberries, as there are no seeds and no core. 
Mulberries are invaluable for protecting 
cherries and other fruits, as birds will eat the 
mulberries in preference. This variety is also 
invaluable to plant in chicken yards for shade 
and feed. Commences to ripen in early sum- 
mer and bears continually until late fall.

Purchasers should order Capri Fig Trees with all 
orders of Calimyma trees. 
Adriatic. Tree a strong and healthy grower; 
fruit above medium size; skin white and thin; 
pulp red, fine, exceedingly aromatic and 
changes to an amber color when dried. 
Calimyma. The genuine Smyrna fig packed under 
the name of *'Erbeyli" (signifying fine fig) in 
Asia Minor, and known in Turkish as "Lop," 
and in Greek as *'Lopia," Lai'ge to very large; 
turbinate, pyriform; very short, stalk short; 
ribs distinct; orifice large, of pale ochre color 
and widely open when the fig is mature and 
before shriveling; skin lemon-yellow; pulp red- 
dish-amber, sometimes pale amber, turning to 
dark amber just before falling; seeds large, 
yellow, fertile, overspread with a clear, white 
syrup, giving the fruit a richness and meati- 
ness unsurpassed by any other fig. Tree of 
spreading habit, leaves medium to large and 
five lobed. The dried figs contain 64 per cent 
sugar, which is 1^ per cent more sugar than 
found in the imported Smyrna fig. Dries 
readily and with less trouble and expense than 
any other fig, dropping to the ground of its 
own accord, being practically dry when it falls 
and requiring when placed on trays, only from 
two to three days exposure to the sun. This 
is the world-famous fig of commerce. August. 
Mission (California Black). The well-known local 
variety; fruit large, dark purple, almost black 
when fully ripe; makes a good dried fig; tree 
grows to large size, and bears immense crops. 
While Endrich (Kadota). Introduced over forty 
years ago by the well-known nurseryman, Mr. 
W. B. West, of Stockton; original name lost 
and given name of Endrich, a fruit grower in 
the vicinity of Stockton, by Mr. West. Has 
been sold under the following names: White 
Endrich, White Pacific, Verdoni, Smyrna, 
Kadota. Medium sized; thin, white skin; pulp 
white to pink. One of the best for canning, 
preserving and pickling. Inferior for drying. 
Never sours when planted in dampest locations, 
CAPRI FIGS 
These are the wild figs which furnish the pollen 
by which the Smyrna figs are fertilized through 
the aid of the fig- wasp (Blastophaga grossorum) 
that lives and breeds in the capri figs. Without 
Capri figs the Smyrna figs cannot be made to bear. 
Consequently a few Capri figs should always be 
planted at the same time as the Smyrna figs. 
There are many varieties of Capri figs known, 
some valued for one quality, others for another. 
We have on our ground eighteen varieties of 
Capri figs imported from Turkey, Italy, Africa 
and Dalmatia; the one from the latter place, 
known as the Milco, is unsurpassed for carrying 
the wasps for a long period in the summer in 
this section of the State.

Capri Milco. One of the most promising varieties. 
A good producer of all the crops necessary to 
perpetuate the insect. Profichi crop rather late 
in maturing and valuable on this account. 
Roeding's Capri No. 1, A very rapid, vigorous 
grower of spreading habit and with very large 
leaves. Produces an abundance of all crops; 
Profichi, Mammoni and Mamme, and matures 
its first Profichi June 12. Particularly valuable 
on account of its producing all the crops neces- 
sary for successfully carrying through all the 
generations of the Blastophaga. 
Roeding's Capri No. 3, A decidedly distinct 
variety; branches much heavier and more 
closely joined than Nos. 1 and 2; leaves small 
and serrated. Figs of the Profichi crop very 
large, heavily ribbed and developing a larger 
number of galls with insects than either of the 
other two varieties.
