Almonds on the Stem 
The pieture suggests the tough leathery character of the 
seed-covering that makes us the almond fruit. Unlike its allied 
stone fruits, the almond has been selected for the seed itself, not for 
the pulp that surrounds it. Mr, Burbank has shown that the 
pulp may also be made attractive through hy- 
bridizing and selection, as we shall see.
