growth and early bearing. The tree is also less sub¬ 
ject to damage by insects than most other varieties, 
and ripens its fruit in twelve months, thus bearing 
a crop annually. Makes excellent oil, and stands 
with the best for pickling. Olives have been culti¬ 
vated on the coast of Georgia and South Carolina for

produced. A peculiarity of the Olive is that it flour¬ 
ishes and bears abundant crops on rocky and barren 
soils, where no other fruit trees are successful.
