SELECTED ALMONDS 



It has been suggested^ not without 

 plausibility J that the almond represents 

 somewhat closely the primitive type of 

 stone fruit, from which all our other 

 stone fruits have been developed. Be 

 that as it may, the leathery covering of 

 the present-day almond is something 

 strikingly different from the pulp of 

 the peach or plum or apricot.
