FIG TREES 
California is the largest producer 
of commercial dried and green 
Figs in the United States. They 
are a very profitable crop to grow 
either in orchard or avenue. They 
are very popular as a border tree. 
We can supply Fig trees in carload 
lots.

ADRIATIC CLASS. 
The Adriatic class of Figs do not re¬ 
quire fertilization as do the Smyrna 
classes of Fig. However, when these va¬ 
rieties are pollinated through the agency 
of the figwasp (Blastophaga) it improves 
the fruit very materially. It is a good 
plan when planting out Fig orchards to 
procure a few trees of the Wild or Capri 
varieties for fertilization purposes. 
Brown Turkey. Violet-brown; the earliest 
large Fig. Late June and early August. 
Mission. (California Black.) Stands in the 
lead of all black Figs for shipping and 
drying. Tree a vigorous grower and heavy 
bearer. Late June and August. 
San Pedro Black. Very large; violet-black; 
pulp red. Early in August. 
San Pedro White. (Fico de San Pietro.) 
“Apple Fig.” Excellent flavor; skin golden 
yellow; very palatable. Middle of June 
White Adriatic. Fruit large; greenish yel¬ 
low; pulp carnation-red. Second week in 
August. 
White Endich. Medium sized; thin white 
skin; pulp white. One of the best for can¬ 
ning and pickling. First week in Au¬ 
gust. Tree a rapid grower and an enor¬ 
mous bearer. 
SMYRNA CLASS. 
It is absolutely necessary when plant¬ 
ing out an orchard of Calimyrna, or 
Smyrna Figs, to plant a few varieties of 
the Wild or Capri sorts. The Calimyrna 
will not mature its crop and make mer¬ 
chantable fruit unless Caprified. 
Calimyrna (Smyrna) Fig. 
Calimyrna. Large to very large; lemon-yel¬ 
low; pulp reddish amber, sometimes pale 
turning dark, just before failing; seeds 
large, yellow, fertile, overspread with a 
clear, white syrup, giving the fruit a rich¬ 
ness and meatiness unsurpassed by any 
other Fig. Dries readily, dropping to the 
ground of its own accord. This is th*« 
world-famous Fig of commerce. August 
to October. 
WILD OR CAPRI FIGS. 
It is a good plan to plant several va¬ 
rieties of Capri Fig trees when planting 
out a Fig orchard. This will insure a 
crop in case one or the other variety 
fails to yield, which happens in some 
seasons. 
Capri No. 1. 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. 
Capri Milco. One of the most promising va¬ 
rieties. A good producer of all the crops 
necessary to perpetuate the insect. Pro¬ 
fichi crop rather late in maturing.
