A TYPICAL STONELESS 

 PLUM 



People are generally amazed to find 

 it possible to cut directly through a 

 plum that exteriorly looks no differ- 

 ent from ordinary plums. (Note the 

 plum at the right, offering no obstacle 

 to the knife blade.) Some visitors are 

 skeptical and cut cautiously into the 

 plum expecting to encounter a stone, 

 and are surprised to find their suspi- 

 cions unfounded.
