Some Mammoth 
Specimens 
At the left, a se- 
lected specimen of the 
common almond; in the 
center, the Palestine al- 
mond; at the right a speci- 
men of the “big fat’ al-. 
mond,—the latter obvious- 
ly well named. Noite the 
characteristic fexture of 
the shell, which does not 
vary greatly in these sneci- 
mens, but which differs 
markedly from that of alt 
other stone fruits.
