Deciduous Fruits 
FIGS, continued 
other housekeepers, not so fortunate as to be able to put up what fruit they wanted, would be 
glad to buy it already put up and that it is a rare occasion indeed that canned figs can be 
bought at any price ? 
All along the Gulf Coast country figs grow splendidly and bear abundantly. We know 
of several parties who are making a business of growing and canning figs and making good 
profits, but there is an enormous market for this class of goods that it seems to us should prove 
fully as profitable, and far more certain even, than with many of the standard fruits.
