THE BAROUNI OLIVE. 
(Oka europaea L.; S. P. I. No. 12569.) 
A large-fruited olive secured by Thomas H. Kearney in his 
exploration of Tunis in 1905. It was famous as the largest 
olive in that country and occurred almost nowhere except 
on the place of M. Robert at Kalaa Srira, Susa. It is proving 
in California to be an excellent variety for processing, either 
green or ripe, and deserves the serious consideration of 
olive growers there. A number of olive specialists believe 
that the Barouni will soon be the leading variety grown in 
California. (Photographed by P. H. Dorsett, Chico, Calif., 
October 13, 1921; P27393FS.)
