King Fig is an entirely new fig, with a new 
_ flavor and supreme quality. Ripens to perfec- 
tion in Northern California, Oregon and Wash- 
ington in spite of fog, wind and cold climates 
of these Coastal regions. 
That this new fig is an important discovery 
for these northern states has been proved by 
public demonstration of the ripe fruit on the 
trees. 
King Fig is large sized, thin skinned, smooth 
and shining as an apple, green outside, pink in- 
side and self-pollenizing. One tree alone will 
ripen fruit perfectly. 
King Fig will not ripen in California’s ‘Fig- | 
land”, that is, in the hot climate of Fresno, 
Bakersfield and Imperial Valley. Being smooth, 
thin skinned and of a large size, it has no pro- 
tection from the heat. 
Kiny Figs large as pears in the second year 
are not unusual with ordinary care of soil and 
irrigation as directed. Also, fig trees generally 
produce a crop of fruit every year, because the 
fruit is not subject to damage by frosts. 
King Fig will ripen fruit four or five months 
after transplanting if the tiny figs exposed on 
_the tree (like the eye of a crab) have not been 

broken off in handling. 
First crop of King Figs starts to ripen in June 
in California and in July in Oregon and Wash- 
ington. 
After Five Months.

duction was sold in California i in. arféw_days.

Oregon and Washington 
Close inspection of fig trees, from Roseburg 
to Portland and up the Snake River as far as 
Payette, Idaho, show that neither a fig tree nor 
a single branch was damaged by frost or cold. 
Dave H. Snowberger, of Payette, Idaho, 
claims that his fig trees are doing well and bear- 
ing fruit. 
The climate from Portland to Seattle, and in 
the vicinity of Bellingham and Vancouver, B.C., 
is ideal for King Figs. 
Northern California — 
King Fig will ripen to perfection in fog and 
wind climates of Eureka, Fort Bragg, Half 
Moon Bay and at the Cliff House in San Fran- 
cisco, where other figs will not ripen. Test trees 
in these districts stand to prove this. 
Southern California 
Fog is favorable to the cultivation of many 
crops in districts along the Coast down to Pismo 
Beach, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, and San 
Fernando Valley, but is not favorable for figs, 
except Kadota, the canning fig. 
King Fig trees in these climates develop an 
unusual growth, up to ten feet the first year, 
with large size, ripe fruit. 
San Diego 
The mild climate in this district encourages 
quick growth, large crops, and eee ripe 
King Figs.
