An Indestructible 
Bloom 
The plumcot inher- 
ited part of the fuzz 
of its parent apricot, to- 
gether with the beautiful 
bloom of its plum parent— 
with the result that the 
fuzz protects the bloom and 
makes it practically inde- 
structible. In this photo- 
graph print the finger had 
been drawn heavily 
across the fruit, 
but no mark 
was left.
