The Seed of the 
Apricot 
The apricot is, of 
course, a near relative 
of the almond, and the re- 
lationship is suggested by 
the stones and seeds here 
shown. With the apricot, 
however, the stone is a 
waste product, and the de- 
sirability of decreasing its 
size has already been sug- 
gested. A stoneless apri- 
cot, comparable to Mr. Bur- 
bank’s stoneless plum, 
will perhaps some day 
be developed.
