Typical Loquats 
Although the loquat 
produces this relative- 
ly enormous seed, there is 
a great variation in differ- 
ent specimens; and Mr. 
Burbank reports that he 
knows of one tree that 
generally bears fruit that 
is altogether seedless. Un- 
fortunately this tree is ex- 
tremely unproductive, but 
the fact that it exists is 
encouraging as suggesting 
that it will be possible to 
produce a race of seedless 
loquats of good quality, 
through crossbreed- 
ing and careful 
selection.
