The skin is thick, tender, and golden-yellow in color. The pulp is amber color 
and very delicious in flavor. 
This fig is for table use only and those wishing a very early fig should plant 
this variety. It is necessary that the second crop of figs be pollinized other¬ 
wise the fruit will not mature. Ripens middle of June and late August. 
White Endrich- Tlle 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 Endich 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. 
It has a very pleasing flavor and appearance when preserved and stands up 
exceedingly well during processing. 
White Adriatic P r °bably 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 
oothnl sections of California. When planted on suitable soil under proper 
conditions it has proven to be of great value to fig orchardists as a drying 
variety. We have known of instances where the Adriatic has yielded as much 
as six and seven tons of the dried product to the acre. 
The fruit is of medium size, roundish, with a medium neck. Skin is very 
thin, greenish in shade, turning to yellow when ripe. The pulp is of a white 
color with violet streaks. Ripens middle of August. 
We particularly recommend this variety for commercial planting in all fig 
sections.

Gentlemen: 
I would like you to take an early opportunity of looking over my fig orchard 
which was planted out last year with nursery stock purchased from your firm. 
You will recall that you sold me some 20,000 Adriatic fig trees and I have at 
this tune the finest looking first year Adriatic fig garden to be seen anywhere 
in the country. The stock you supplied proved to be healthy, sturdy and satis¬ 
factory in every way and with careful cultivation and attention, a fig orchard 
has materialized, of which I am proud. 
There is a good stand and everything is in excellent shape and I think when 
you see it, you also will be proud of having supplied me with the nursery 
stock which brought about this good result. 
Yours very truly, 
J. C. FORKNER,
