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." 
33226. Olea europea L. Olive. 
''Hermanos. This is probably the Quatro Hfrmanos 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." 
33227 to 33229. Puxica granatum L. Pomegranate. 
"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."

33230 to 33233. Ficus carica L. Fig. 
"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."

"Rouge Ronde. Spain furnishes the bulk of the hazelnuts that enter into 
the world's commerce, whole regions being given up to this remunerative cul- 
ture in the north of Spain. It is said to prefer rather light, cool soils and to 
grow well with more or less shade. The trees are set at short distances apart. 
From its name, meaning the 'round red,' the variety would seem to be of French 
origin . ' '
