LUSCIOUS BIG BROWN TURKEY FIGS 
Armstrong 
Almonds 
Two or more varieties of Almonds must be planted together, in 
the right combination, to secure successful pollination. Good com¬ 
binations are Nonpareil and Drake or Texas, Nonpareil and Ne 
Plus Ultra, Ne Plus Ultra and I.X.L. Almonds are one of the few 
fruit or nut trees that will thrive and bear well without summer 
irrigation, and are, therefore, adapted to many locations where 
other fruits cannot be grown.

Drake. A good commercial nut because it bears well and 
adapts itself to all almond districts. Medium size, almost round, 
with a medium soft shell, plump and well filled. A good pollinizer 
for Nonpareil. 
Nonpareil. Probably the most valuable commercial Almond for 
California because it bears uniform heavy crops, has done well in 
every Almond district in the State, and because of its large, 
smooth, plump kernel which makes it rank first for shelling pur¬ 
poses, and its paper-thin shell. California's finest Almond. 
Ne Plus Ultra. A widely planted and popular Almond, chiefly 
valuable because of its very attractive outside appearance and its 
generally large size. The nuts are large and long with a soft 
corky shell. A good pollinizer for Nonpareil. 
I. X. L. This variety brings the highest price for nuts marketed 
in the shell because of its clean, attractive appearance. Medium 
sized, elongated, soft shelled nuts. 
Texas. Produces extremely heavy, consistent crops of small, 
soft-shelled plump nuts, excellent for shelled kernels. A late 
bloomer and good pollinizer for Nonpareil and Drake. 
California Figs 
California is one of the few parts of the world 
in which Figs attain the utmost perfection, and 
in the late summer and fall there is no fruit 
which is more enjoyed fresh, whether eaten out 
of hand or sliced with cream and sugar, than 
sweet, delicious, highly flavored Figs.

Brunswick. This medium sized, light brown, short¬ 
necked Fig is known as Magnolia in Texas. The fine¬ 
grained, sweet, brownish-amber flesh is delicious. The 
tree is smaller than many other varieties and will stand 
more cold than any other Fig that we grow. It is, there¬ 
fore, adapted to a wide range of territory, including sec¬ 
tions where other varieties will not thrive. 
Calimyrna (Smyrna). The largest and finest Fig 
grown, of enormous size, round and flattened at the end; 
a greenish-yellow skin and coarse reddish-amber pulp. 
The fruit has a richness and meatiness not found in any 
other Fig and is the standard commercial variety for 
drying. Will not mature crop unless pollinized by the fig 
wasp (Blastophaga grossorum) which breeds in the 
wild Capri Figs. A Capri must be planted nearby and 
infested with the wasp to obtain a crop on the Cali¬ 
myrna. 
Capri. Capri Figs are valueless in themselves but 
provide a home for the fig wasps which are necessary 
to pollinize the Calimyrna. The planting ratio is one 
Capri to twenty-five Calimyrnas or less. 
Mission. The well-known California Black Fig brought 
to California by the Mission Fathers. The fruit is 
medium to large, with a long neck, mahogany-violet in 
color with brownish-red flesh. Thrives in all sections, 
coast or desert, and the tree is enormously productive. 
Panache (Striped). A peculiar variegated Fig in 
which the fruit and often the stems and leaves are bril¬ 
liantly striped with green and yellow. The Figs are 
large, with rich blood-red pulp, sweet and richly flav¬ 
ored, and are just about as fine to eat as any fig you 
ever tasted. A remarkably fine fig for any purpose, 
entirely aside from its novelty coloring. 
White Adriatic. Very large, elongated, yellowish-green 
fruit with a short neck; flesh a bright strawberry-red, 
somewhat coarse but of excellent quality. This Fig has 
long been known as one of the very finest of white Figs. 
A strong growing, prolific tree. 
White Genoa. A very large pear-shaped variety with 
a waxen yellow skin and sweet amber pulp, somewhat 
similar to Kadota but much larger. White Genoa bears 
much more consistently in the immediate vicinity of the 
seacoast than other White Fiqs and for either coast or 
inland it is one of the finest White Figs.

The Two Most 
Brown Turkey. We consider Brown 
Turkey to be just about the finest Fig for 
general use in California because it 
bears well in almost any location where 
Figs will thrive. The fruits are very 
large and long, a rich purplish-brown in 
color, becoming deeper purple as they 
mature, with rich strawberry-red flesh, 
fine grained, sweet and juicy. Particu¬ 
larly is it valuable because the fruit is 
usually ripe before other Figs and it 
seems to bear equally large crops, 
whether it be directly on the coast or 
in the interior or desert valleys. 
Popular Figs 
Kadota. This is the finest white Fig for 
most of California and one of the finest 
Figs for all purposes, since it will can, 
dry, pickle or ship fresh and give excel¬ 
lent results in every case. Many people 
prefer it to any other fig for eating fresh. 
Of medium size, with waxy, smooth, yel¬ 
low-white skin and pale amber flesh. 
Extremely sweet and rich, making just 
about the best fig jam ever tasted. Bears 
extremely heavy crops all through the 
summer and fall. It does best in the 
interior valleys where the summers are 
warmer, and in regious adjacent to the 
coast it is probably best to grow White 
Genoa which does better there.
