"Fig Culture" by Gustavus A. Eisen and F. S. Earle is a scientific publication produced as a bulletin by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Division of Pomology, written in the late 19th century. The book provides an in-depth look at the cultivation, variety classification, and curing processes of edible figs, primarily focusing on the southern United States, including California and the Gulf States. Its content is geared towards horticulturists and those interested in the agricultural aspects of fig production. The book consists of two main sections: the first is authored by Gustavus Eisen, and it covers the nature, structure, and propagation of the edible fig, particularly the species "Ficus carica" and its numerous varieties. Eisen explains the importance of factors such as soil type, climate, and techniques for drying and curing figs to achieve marketable products. The second part, authored by F. S. Earle, focuses on fig culture in the Gulf States, delving into propagation methods, soil and location preferences, cultivation, pest control, and the challenges of marketing fresh figs. Together, the authors provide a comprehensive guide for cultivating figs successfully, emphasizing best practices and practical advice for potential growers.
