Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fig Culture in California Commercial fig orchards appear to have been established in the coast counties, and even in the Sacramento Valley and the Sierra Foothills, earlier than in the San J oaquin Valley. In 1876 there were trees in Yolo County, in Tuolumne, and only 685 in Fresno County. An orchard of 27 acres of White Adriatic fig trees was planted at Fresno about 1885, the first carload of dried white figs being sent east in 1889. The White Adriatic was the most widely planted variety during the two decades following 1885 but the dried product lacked the tender ness of skin and the flavor of the imported fig from Smyrna. The Year book of the United States Department of Agriculture for 1897 stated that the White Adriatic has many points of merit, but the fact that its quality when dried is inferior to that of the imported dried fruit from Smyrna has resulted in several efforts to introduce and grow the Smyrna type of fig.

Book Synopsis California Fig Industry by : B. M. Lelong
Download or read book California Fig Industry written by B. M. Lelong and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Little Fig-Tree Stories There is a garden on a hill slope between the snows of the Sierra Nevada and the warm, rich valleys of the coast. It is in that region of Northern California where the pine belt and the fruit belt interlace. Both pine and fruit trees grow in that mountain garden, and there, in the new moon Of February, six young Alm ond trees burst into ower. The Peach and Plum trees in the upper gar den felt a glow Of sympathy with their forward sisters of the south, but the matronly Cherry trees shook their heads at such an untimely show Of blossoms. They foresaw the trouble to come. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

For tree growth and fruit production it found itself perfectly at home in an entirely congenial habitat. So long as the fruit was used for local or home consumption, and particularly while the comparatively disease free Black Mission3 variety predominated, the fig was considered almost immune to pests and diseases.

As California produc tion expanded, United States imports from all sources fell sharply-from 17, 212 short tons in the 1925-29 period to 4, 013 tons in 1930-34.

Book Synopsis The California Fruits and How to Grow Them (Classic Reprint) by : Edward James Wickson
Download or read book The California Fruits and How to Grow Them (Classic Reprint) written by Edward James Wickson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The California Fruits and How to Grow Them The writer desires to express sincere gratitude for the cordial welcome and patronage which the two earlier editions of this treatise have received, not only in California, but in other semitropical countries. At the time of the preparation of the first edition in 1889 there was no thought that it would find foreign fields of usefulness; it was merely the earnest hope of the writer that it would win its way as a safe guide to the extension of the fruit interests of California; and to that end no effort was spared to constitute the work an explicit and truthful statement of natural conditions attending fruit growing in California, and accurate descriptions of the practises which best minister to success under these conditions. The generous patronage bestowed upon the work by Californians for a decade is a demonstration that this purpose was attained, and it is largely owing to their cordial commendation that the work has extended so widely into foreign fields. It is profoundly satisfactory to the writer to have the assurance that the acceptance of the treatise as a faithful guide to practise in California has actually foreshadowed its popularity wherever the same fruits are grown; and, inversely, its acceptance abroad is indirect evidence of its accuracy and helpfulness in California. With such inspiration as naturally proceeds from these facts, the writer has for two years devoted such time as could be spared from other pressing duties to a thorough revision of the work, condensing portions which were diffuse or merely of passing, local interest, and expanding other portions which are of deep and lasting importance and in which California experience and experiment really involve knowledge new to horticultural literature and of the widest applicability. The revision has required a rewriting of the most important chapters and a study of original data nearly equal to that involved in the preparation of the treatise in the first instance. The illustrations have also been largely replaced and the work brought up to the beginning of the century. As was done in connection with earlier editions, the writer desires to extend to all readers an exhortation to correction of any statement which may seem unwarranted from their points of view and experience. The subject is varied, multifold, and involved, every new fact is important and will be welcomed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
