Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of fig tree, what I claim is new, and desire to secure by Plant Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of fig tree as substantially illustrated and described, and which is characterized principally as the novelty by bearing a large red-purple to purple-skinned fig of the common type, and which further has fruit pulp which has an attractive strawberry-red color, a fine texture, and a sweet and rich flavor, and which further is ripe for a second crop harvesting, and shipment, during late July and early August, under the ecological conditions prevailing in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California.
