On comparing this list with 11 others furnished by nurserymen and writers on the fig, and taken at random from Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and Florida sources, we find 14 of these names occurring more or less frequently. Four are not mentioned at all, while 13 additional names appear, making a total of 31 varieties in the 12 lists. Celeste and Brown Turkey lead, being mentioned 11 times each; Adriatic, Lemon, and Brunswick come next, each occurring 8 times. White Marseillaise is mentioned 7 times; White Genoa and Green Ischia, 6 times; Black Ischia, 5 times; and San Pedro, which is not in the American Pomological Society’s list, occurs 4 times. We may perhaps conclude that these 10 varieties are the most generally grown in the South, but some of them are to be considered as nurserymen’s recent introductions from California, rather than as varieties in general use. They are characterized in the Pomological Society’s list as follows: ────────────────────┬──────────────┬────────────┬─────────┬──────────── Variety. │ Season. │ Color. │Quality. │ Size. ────────────────────┼──────────────┼────────────┼─────────┼──────────── Brunswick │Early │Violet │First │Very large. Black Ischia │Medium │Black │ do │Medium. Celestial [Celeste] │Early │Pale violet │ do │Small. Green Ischia │ do │Green │ do │Medium. Lemon │ do │Yellow │ do │ Do. White Adriatic │ │ │ │ White Marseillaise │Medium │White │Second │Medium. White Genoa │ do │ do │ do │Large. Turkey │Early to late │Brown │First │ Do. San Pedro │Not mentioned │ │ │ ────────────────────┴──────────────┴────────────┴─────────┴──────────── Other lists agree in describing both White Adriatic and San Pedro as very large white figs of the best quality and very desirable where they succeed, but as being tender and nonfruitful in many locations. Celeste, Brown Turkey, and Brunswick are more uniformly commended for hardiness, fruitfulness, and general utility than any others.[5] Footnote 5: The canning factories greatly prefer the Celeste, paying one-fourth more for them than for larger, coarser kinds.
