Fancher Creek Nursery. 3i FIGS E make fig culture one of our great specialties, believing it to be of the highest importance to this State, as well as to some other States with a cli- mate similar to ours, or to the Mediterranean countries. The trees should be allowed to branch about two to three feet from the ground, and should never be pruned like other trees after the head has once been formed; only branches inter- fering with one another should be cut out. The roots of a fig tree are very tender, and great care should be taken in planting to keep them moist, and not allow them to become dry. Brown Ischia — A small, brown fig, pyriform; when fully ripe of a deep brown- ish red color; tree especially valuable as a shade tree, its crown forming a fine umbrella, with densest shade; as a fruit and shade tree the Brown Ischia is valuable; as a fruit tree alone it has many superiors. Brunswick — The largest black fig known; one of the earliest figs, ripening in June, and producing successive crops up to September; meat rather coarse; not as sweet as the Mission. Brown Turkey — This is a very large fig; color violet brown; the earliest large fig in the San Francisco market. Mission — The large black fig most common in California. It is a good grower and bearer, but not a fine fig in other respects; we believe this fig to be identical with the Bordeaux fig of the WHITE ADRIATIC FIG.
