Calimyrna 
Mission Commonly known as Black Mission or California Black and is one 
of the oldest figs grown in California. It is also grown in the 
Southern states and Mexico. 
The tree is a very strong grower, often attaining a height of seventy-five 
feet and a spread of fifty feet. It is a regular and heavy bearer and has been 
proven to be a very profitable variety both as a shipping and drying product. 
The fruit is large, having a rough but thin skin, of a deep violet color; quite 
sweet, but not of a strong flavor. 
The one great advantage of this fig, as a market product over other figs, is 
the fact that it seldom sours. Where one is desirous of growing figs for 
shipping and for supplying local markets this variety is highly recommended. 
S an Pedro Black San P^ro Black is the largest fig known and is used 
chiefly for table use. The tree is an upright, thrifty 
grower, and attains large size. The skin of the fruit is very smooth, of violet 
black color shading to green at the neck. The pulp is of a coppery red color 
sweet and delicious. 
For those desiring an early fig in their home orchard collection or for sup¬ 
plying local markets we can recommend nothing better. Ripens early August. 
White Endrich The White Endrich is a vigorous grower and bears abund¬ 
ant crops of medium size white figs which are used chiefly 
for canning and for pickling and is also recommended for its good qualities as 
a preserving variety. It has a very thin skin of golden yellow color. Pulp 
is white tinged with pink towards the center. Ripens the first week in August 
slightly in advance of the White Adriatic. 
White Endrich is a good variety to plant because of the many ways in which 
it can be used. This fig is highly recommended as suited to all conditions 
where other figs can be grown. 
White Adriatic 
White Adriatic Is probably more widely known and more extensively 
grown than any other fig. The tree is a healthy strong 
grower and has been cultivated very extensively in the interior valleys and
