SOME MAMMOTH SPECIMENS 



At the left, a selected specimen of the 

 common almond; in the center, the 

 Palestine almond; at the right a speci- 

 men of the Big Fat almond — the 

 latter obviously well named. Note the 

 characteristic texture of the shell, which 

 does not vary greatly in these speci- 

 mens, hut which differs markedly from 

 that of all other stone fruits.
