Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smyrna Fig Culture Lagona, Cal, had shares in the importation, but the San Francisco Bulletin Company had the larger portion and paid the greater part of the expense. A large number of cuttings were distributed to county subscribers of the Bulletin, while the individual shares went to the different partners in the enterprise. Gov. Stanford planted most of his cuttings on his ranch near Vina, Cal. Now the property of Stanford University. The trees resulting from this importation are now growing in all parts of California and other Southwestern States. Some have attained gigantic size, a number recently measured by the writer having trunks 3 feet in diameter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Fig Industry: With a Chapter on Fig Caprification; Written for the Annual Report of the California State Board of Agriculture for 1891 The fig is probably the oldest of all cultivated fruits. It is mentioned in the first book of the Bible, and is more frequently referred to in both the Old and New Testaments than any other fruit. Herodotus alludes to it, and in the early history of our race it played an important part among food products. The Greeks received the tree from Caria, whence its name, Ficus carica, but improved the fruit so greatly that Attic figs became celebrated and were in large demand, so much so that stringent laws regulating their export were enacted. Pliny mentions several varieties, and alludes especially to that produced in Ebusus as highly esteemed by Roman epicures, and mentions the Roman fig as supplying a large part of the food of the slaves, especially of those engaged in agricultural pursuits, by whom large quantities were eaten raw at the time of the fig harvest. It is probably a native of the eastern Mediterranean regions, but has spread from its original home over a large portion of the known world. It is to-day found in all the warm, temperate, sub-tropic, and northern tropical zones. It flourishes on the plains of northwestern India, on the Himalayas to an elevation of five thousand feet, in Afghanistan, northern Persia, Asia Minor, Palestine, northern Africa, and the warmer parts of Europe, ripening its fruit in sheltered places, even so far north as the southern portion of England. It has been naturalized in Australia, the north island of New Zealand, Chile, California, and other portions of the United States. It flourishes in Florida and the Southern States, and will grow and bear fruit in the open air of some of the Middle States with proper care. In California, of all the States in the Union, it appears to attain its most thrifty growth, and some trees now growing in this State are phenomenally large. Immense trees, the largest in this State, of the White Adriatic fig, grow at Knight's Ferry, in Stanislaus County. They bear enormously, and are a source of great profit to their owner. One of these is sixty feet in height, its branches shading a circle of seventy feet diameter. At its base the trunk is eleven feet in circumference, and at three feet from the ground it is nine feet around. Several large branches divide the tree a little above this point, each of which has a circumference of nearly five feet; while at a distance of thirty feet from the ground the limbs have a diameter of seven to eight inches. The largest grove in this vicinity consists of fifteen massive black fig trees, set at a distance of sixty feet apart, yet intermingling their boughs overhead until a dense shade is formed beneath them. At Rancho Chico, in Butte County, is a fig tree planted in 1856, which measures eleven feet in circumference one foot from the ground. Its branches have been trained to the ground, where they have struck root and formed new trunks, until they cover an area of a hundred feet in diameter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fig: Its History, Culture, and Curing, With a Descriptive Catalogue of the Known Varieties of Figs Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith, and to recommend for publication as a bulletin of this division, the manuscript of an article on The Fig: Its History, Culture, and Curing, with a descriptive catalogue of the known varieties of figs, prepared by Dr. Gustav Eisen, of San Francisco, Cal. Dr. Eisen is too well known as an author of high standing to need any introduction to the horticultural world. His name carries with it a guaranty of the value of this, his latest work. The recent successful introduction of the blastophaga into the fig-growing sections of the United States by the Department of Agriculture almost certainly assures the production of first-class Smyrna figs, which will doubtless greatly encourage and stimulate the industry, and thereby create an increase in the demand for reliable literature on the subject. This comprehensive treatise contains information of value to the scientific and practical fruit grower never before published in the form in which it is here presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Fig Culture in Arizona The importance of the fig as a fruit crop in Arizona is shown by its presence in nearly all localities in which it will endure the winters and survive the frosts of spring. In addition to being a valuable fruit it serves as an excellent shade tree. The fig is a food fruit. Containing an average of more than 50 per cent sugar and 3.5'per cent protein, it is probably the most valuable of all dried food fruits, of which the fig, apple, peach, raisin, and date are the most common. The dried fig has a mildly laxative action and is not injurious when eaten in large quantities. At the close of a study pursued during two consecutive years, the writer was impressed with the following facts: (a) A proper selection of varieties will make fig culture possible in a wide range of climatic, water, and soil conditions such as cover a large propor tion of the agricultural area of the State. (b) Where limiting factors of production are almost nil and commercial production is possible, economic methods are not practiced in the growing or the distribution of the fruit on local and distant markets. (6) Few people appreciate the food value of the fruit and its many possible uses in either a fresh or a preserved condition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fig Culture: Being a Statement of the History, Varieties and Botany of the Fig, in Asia, Africa and America, and a Special Treatise on Its Propagation, Cultivation and Curing in North America This volume is not intended to be a treatise upon the philosophy of tree growth, but rather an every day guide for the beginner in fig culture, and a field manual for the experienced grower. Abstract dis eussions of soils, plant food, available fertility and the creation of wood and fruit are; therefore, avoid ed so far as possible, notwithstanding such subjects form the basis of accurate knowledge about every operation of farming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fig Smut On September 2, 1921, a series of cultures from the inside of Adriatic figs of the different types was started to study further the question as to when the first natural introduction of smut spores occurs. Since the previous cultures had shown that figs of the first four types contained no smut, this experiment was confined mainly to types 4, 5, and 6. The figs were cut off at the stem, carried at once to the labora tory and cultured the same day. Fig agar slants were ordinarily used. All the usual precautions were taken to avoid the possibility of smut spores being introduced into the cultures from any source other than the fig pulp to be tested. After carefully Opening each fruit, a part of the pulp just below the eye, but not in contact with the surface, was cut out with a sterile needle and transferred to the culture tube. Five hundred and eight tubes from as many different figs were made in this manner, with results as before. Figure 4 shows typical cultures from the pulp of figs of type 5. Various other molds, yeasts and bacteria were also present and the abundance of these showed the same relation to maturity of the fruit as did that of the smut.
