Plant of the Alligator Pear 



Mr. Burbank is now experimenting actively with the de- 

 velopment of the alligator pear. The specimen here shown is 

 a seedling which has withstood the rigors of one of the coldest Call' 

 fornia winters, suggesting that the plant mag become hardu 

 as far north as Santa Rosa. There is promise of 

 marked improvement tn this inieresting fruit.
