Tree a strong grower, very hardy and of good habit, resembling the Rubra in that respect, and very productive, producing a good crop regularly every year. Olives above medium, round and borne in clusters; excellent for pickling, and yielding an abundance of oil of good quality; November. Gordal—(French.) A large olive highly esteemed for pickles; yields also a good quality of oil. Ripens early; is quite resistant to the cold. One of the most widely known varieties in Spain. Lucques—(French.) Tree a strong, upright grower, fruit varying from medium to large and of a peculiar crescent shape; the pit being similarly formed. When fully ripe, the fruit is of a shining bluish color. Shy bearer when young, but improves with age. It is highly esteemed as a pickle, and commands a higher figure than any other variety in this form, being known to the trade as the 'Crescent Olive.' Very hardy. Manzanillo—(Spanish.) Introduced by Prof. Pohndorf from Spain, of whom we obtained the first truncheons. Among the olives of Southern Spain, especially around Seville, the Manzanillo is highly prized both for pickling and oil; the fruit is very large, of a deep black color dotted with white specks when fully ripe; the tree is a straggling weeping grower. One of the best olives for this valley, very hardy and a prolific and regular bearer. Makes a fine pickle and produces oil of a very high grade; October.
