Markarian 
No. 
1. This 
is one of the finest 
Capri Pigs grown. It ripens medium early 
and lasts as long as the latest varieties. 
The tree is a rapid grower and comes into 
maturity early. It grows very large and has 
heavy foliage, making a nice ornamental 
shade tree. It is valued for the large num¬ 
ber of insects and the abundance of its 
pollen as well as the large size of its Figs. 
Markarian No. 2. This is one of the earliest 
varieties of Capri Figs, being more essential 
than the Markarian No. 1, owing to its earli¬ 
ness. The Fig is very large, has plenty of 
pollen and insects. It is a very heavy bearer 
of profichi and produces a good crop of 
Mamme. 
Markarian No. :i. This tree is not a rapid 
grower, but it produces heavily of Profichi 
as well as Mammoni. The abundance of its 
Mammoni crop makes it particularly valu¬ 
able for carrying the wasps from the Pro¬ 
fichi to the Mamme, thus assuring oviposit¬ 
ing in the Mamme crop of itself and of other 
varieties planted along with it. 
Calimyrntt Fig 
Koeding \o. 2. A decidedly distinct variety. 
Branches very heavy; closely jointed; a 
spreading grower; figs very large, heavily 
ribbed and always abundantly supplied with 
insects in the Profichi crop. It also carries 
a good crop of the over-wintering or Mamme 
figs. 
Milco. Ts a rapid grower and a heavy bearer. 
It is rich in both pollen and insects, carry¬ 
ing a heavy crop of Mamme through the 
winter. It produces Profichi in abundance. 
The tree is unsurpassed for size and beauty. 
The Profichi is late and lasts longer than 
any other variety. 
Capri No. I. Produces an abundance of all 
crops necessary for the Blastophaga. 
Capri No. 2. Produces an abundance of the 
Profichi crop. 
Capri No. 3. Figs of the Profichi crop; quite 
large and early.
