The First Stoneless Prune 



The reader is familiar with Mr. Burbank's wonderful 

 experiments in producing stoneless plums by breeding from 

 partially stoneless French plum. In the same way attempts were 

 made to produce a stoneless prune. The specimens here shown 

 were the first that attained partial success. These prunes 

 were stoneless, but were deficient in size and other 

 qualities, and further experiments were nee- 

 essary before a really valuable com- 

 mercial stoneless prune was 

 developed.
