Another Stoneless Plum Compromise 



Here the cavity left by an eliminated stone is filled by en- 



larging the seed itself. This is not desirable Jrom the standpoint 



of the horticulturist, but it is one way oj overcomxnf!, the deject oj a large 



cavity uilhin the fruit, which necessarily weakens the structure 



of the fruit itself. Further breeding experivients may 



reduce the size of the seed while increasing the pulp 



in such a way that no cavity will remain.
