Classic Hilgardia on figs posted
In February 1955 when Ira Condit’s “Fig Varieties: A Monograph” was published in Hilgardia, it was the definitive work on figs. It remains so in 2007. I am pleased that Dr. Condit’s publication is now available to anyone wishing a copy as a downloadable PDF here:

This PDF is the result of more than 135 hours of patience, scanning, optical character recognition (OCR) conversion, retyping unrecognizable text and most importantly, editing for accuracy. Despite the effort, there are still punctuation errors and no doubt typographic errors resulting from the OCR conversion. Although there have been some minor changes including eliminating hyphenation and placing some text on adjacent pages for easier reading, it is my hope that none of the original publication’s intent has been lost in the PDF.
Since most fruit production is totally dependent on microclimate conditions and finding suitable varieties, I initiated the Puget Sound Regional Fig Variety Test in 2000 to determine which fig varieties will produce best for home gardeners in western Washington state. The best available information was necessary, hence the need for Dr. Condit’s publication.

Editor’s note: Hilgardia, a monograph series published by ANR, ceased publication in 1995. Copies can be found in university libraries. We cannot confirm the detailed accuracy of this 247-page document, but we gratefully acknowledge Glanzman’s heroic effort.
