ON PEACHES AND NECTARINES 



■who can enter the field with prospect of success. 

 Granted that endowment, however, and a rea- 

 sonable comprehension of the principles of plant 

 breeding already presented, any intelligent ama- 

 teur may undertake experiments in the further 

 education of the peach that may well lead to re- 

 sults of the highest interest and of notable 

 economic importance. 



— The peach with its luscious 

 meat, the nectarine with its 

 smooth skin, the almond with 

 its delightful kernel, and the 

 stoneless plum with its un^ 

 sheathed seed — who will breed 

 these together and thus pro- 

 duce a unique and valuable 

 fruit-nut?
