Condit Monograph
Maslin seedling caprifigs. See accounts by Rixford (1912, 1918a). Seedlings distributed under numbers by the United States Department of Agriculture and given names as follows: No. 70, Bleasdale; No. 144, Mason; No. 147, Loomis; No. 148, Newcastle. These varieties are separately mentioned in this work, in their respective color groups. None have been planted commercially, and trees are now seldom found, or are completely lost. Many show close relationship to Sari Lop (the probable female parent), in having branches with swollen nodes, large, deeply-lobed leaves, and profichi with flattened neck.
