Mr. Burbank’s 
Improved Loquats 
The loquat is a 
fruit that has become 
popular only in compara- 
tively recent years. In us 
unimproved varieties, it is 
not very attractive, as the 
stone occupies a large part 
of the fruit, the pulp being 
not only relatively primi- 
tive in quantity, but of no 
very great degree of succu- 
lence. Mr. Burbank has 
greatly increased the size 
of the fruit, and has also 
increased the relative size 
of the pulp, although the 
Stone still is larger than 
might be wished. The 
loquat is still in active 
training, under Mr. Bur- 
bank’s guidance, at 
Sebastopol.
