7. Does Caprification Cause Late Figs to Set in Greater Numbers than Usual f The advocates of caprification affirm that in certain varieties it causes all, or the greater number of fruits, to remain on the tree, which otherwise would have fallen off. To verify this assertion I have many times made the common experiment which would occur naturally to any one, that of comparing fig trees of the same variety to some only of which the caprifig had been brought, in order to observe the difference. T...hose I have observed with that view are the Lardaro, the Sarnese, the Colombro, and the Sampiero. With regard to the first two, the experi- ments were made in different localities, especially on the Sarnese, which is very common. None of them showed the slightest effect of the action of the fly, in regard to the quantity of the fruit; and if ever any differ- ences were exhibited between the caprified trees and those not acted on by the caprifig, either in favor of or against caprification, they could always, on being well considered, be clearly traceable to other causes (not to speak of soil, climate, vicissitudes of seasons, etc.
