Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Improvement of Quality in Figs
The greatest obstacle to the success of the fig industry at the present time is the occurrence of various forms of rotting, sowing, and molding of the fruit, which at times become very abundant and troublesome, and for which no method of control has been found. Such defects reduce yields and make it very difficult to put up a high grade, dependable pack of sufficient quality to compete on better than even terms with the foreign product and one upon which the arts of advertising and salesmanship can confidently be practiced. It is only by such advertising, backed by superior, uniform quality that our increased production of other foreign-competing fruit products has been successfully marketed.'
