  badam. 
  A 
  large 
  thin-shelled 
  variety 
  of 
  almond 
  cultivated 
  around 
  

   Khokan 
  and 
  considered 
  to 
  be 
  fine.

  Khokan 
  is 
  semi- 
  

   arid 
  with 
  long, 
  hot 
  summers 
  and 
  medium-cold 
  winters, 
  while 
  the 
  soil 
  is 
  decid- 
  

   edly 
  alkaline, 
  these 
  almonds 
  may 
  prove 
  hardier 
  and 
  more 
  alkali 
  resistant 
  than 
  

   the 
  varieties 
  coming 
  from 
  southern 
  Europe."
