Another Stoneless Plum Compromise 



Here the cavity left by an eliminated stone is filled by en- 

 larging the seed itself. This is not desirable from the standpoint 

 oj the horticulturist, but it is one way of overcoming the defect of a large 

 cavity within the fruit* which necessarily weakens the structure 

 of the fruit itself. Further breeding experiments may 

 reduce the size of the seed while increasing the pulp 

 in such a way that no cavity will remain.
