ONE OF THE NEW 

 PLUMCOTS 



The typical plumcot differs so widely 

 from either of its parents that it is 

 entitled to be called a distinct species. 

 Some varieties, however, show a pecu- 

 liar segregation of the parental char- 

 acteristics. The specimen here shown 

 reveals the plum ancestry in the mottled 

 character of its skin, while the seed, 

 blossom end of the fruit, lopsidedness, 

 firmness of flesh, and round, smooth 

 stone, indicate its apricot parentage.
