THE ALMOND. 31 



2. Sweet Soft-Shell. — This is the almond of the shops, of 

 which such immense quantities are annually imported from abroad. 

 South of Virginia, we believe, it succeeds well ; and so beautiful a 

 tree and so estimable a fruit deserves the attention of all fruit- 

 growers. — Barry. 



Cultivators who are desirous of obtaining as great a variety of 

 fruit as possible, would do well to plant a few trees of one or tiio 

 other of the above-named sorts. Amateurs may find a %w other 

 kinds, but they are generally inferior or uselese.
