Description

This variety was named after Mr. Van Lennep of Izmir, historically Smyrna, city in western Turkey. He received his Capri figs from his brother Reinhard Van Lennep in the spring of 1884. And In 1901, Mr. Van Lennep received capri figs containing the blastopgaga (fig wasp) from Mr. Geo. C. Roeding since which time had been established in his nursery. Below is an archived screenshot of a letter sent to Mr. Walter T. Swingle by Mr. Van Lennep.

This information is found in the Third Biennial Report Of The Commissioner Of Horticulture Of The State Of California For 1907-1908 page 121.
