OLIVES. 
The Olive is a native of the temperate sea-coast ridges of Asia and Africa. 
It flourishes and bears abundantly in the dry crevices of rocks, and on the most 
barren soils where no other fruit-tree or vine can live; its culture in California 
promises to be one of the most profitable industries. The cost of planting and 
cultivating an olive orchard is less than one-third of that of a vineyard. 
Picholine.— The Italian olive; a rapid growing kind which bears young and, 
unlike the Mission olive, ripens its fruit in twelve months, so that it bears 
a crop of olives annually. The tree grows quickly, and is less subject to 
damages by insects than most other varieties; makes excellent oil and 
stands as the best for pickling. Price, 15 to 50 cents, according to size; in 
quantities, see wholesale list. 
Seedling Olives from a hardy, northern-grown seedling tree. Price, 25 
cents. 
8£§“The olive crop can be gathered with more economy and celerity than 
grapes can, and the oil or pickles can be made with an outfit costing less than 
one-tenth the expense of one for making wine, and the crop can be disposed 
of within a week of gathering the berries. The trees give paying crops in five 
or six years, with an increase in quantity from year to year, which in its full 
development will pay several times as much as the best vineyard. The demand 
is unlimited.
