IMPROVED LOQUATS 



The loquat is a fruit that has become 

 popular only in comparatively recent 

 years. In its unimproved varieties it 

 is not very attractive, as the stone occu- 

 pies a large part of the. fruit, the pulp 

 being not only relatively primitive in 

 quantity but of no very great degree 

 of succulence. We greatly increased the 

 size of the fruit, and have 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.
