H. E. Van Deman, chief of the Division of Pomology of the United States Department of Agriculture, imported a number of cuttings of the Wild or Capri Fig direct from Turkey Asia, and distributed them among a number of parties in California, and in several of the Southern States, a few of which are said to be growing and flourishing. The following is an extract from Mr. Van Deman's letter, dated November 2, 1890: "Having recently noted in the public press that you have succeeded in success- full...y pollinating the fig, I write to get direct information from you. I have no doubt you have the true Capri Fig, or you would not have performed the operation men- tioned. Last winter, I imported a number of the cuttirgs of the Wild or Capri Fig direct from Turkey, and sent them all over the fig growing districts of this country. If I had had your name on my list, as one of the fig growers, would have sent you some also, but of course that would rot have been necessary, inasmuch as you al- ready had it growing.
