28801. AMYGDALUS COMMUNIS.  Almond.  From F. N.
Meyer, Batoum, Caucasus.  Seedling of a very small almond, 
remarkable for its thin shell and good flavor.  Believed to have originated 
in Persia.  Some good horticultural varieties may result from
the fruiting of this collection of untested seedlings.

29214. AMYGDALUS COMMUNIS. "Kasan badam" almond.
From F. N. Meyer, Kokand, Russian Turkestan. A large, moderately 
thin shelled variety, cultivated in a semiarid climate, with
long, hot summers and moderately cold winters, on decidedly alkaline 
soils.  For this reason, and for their probably greater hardiness,
they may prove superior to almonds introduced from southern
Europe.  On A. davidiana.

29217. AMYGDALUS COMMUNIS. Almond.  From F. N.
Meyer, Kokand, Russian Turkestan.  A small, very prolific, softshelled 
variety of almond, called Khandak badam.  As this variety
is cultivated in a semiarid climate, with long, hot summers and 
moderately cold winters, and on decidedly alkaline soils, it may prove
hardier than almonds introduced from southern Europe.

29218. AMYGDALUS COMMUNIS. Almond.  From F. N.
Meyer, Kokand, Russian Turkestan. Medium-sized, hard-shelled
variety, cultivated in a semiarid climate, with long, hot summers
and moderately cold winters, on decidedly alkaline soils. For this
reason, and for their probably greater hardiness, they may prove
superior to almxonds introduced from Southern Europe.  On A.
davidiana.

30408. AMYGDALUS COMMUNIS. Almond.  From F. N.
Meyer, Yarkand, Chinese Turkestan.  A hard-shelled variety of
almond imported from Northern India and sold in the bazars there.
May be of value as a stock.  Budded on A. davidiana.

33216. AMYGDALUS COMMUNIS. Esperanza almond.
From Granada, Spain, through Walter T. Swingle.  A variety recommended 
for culture by Pedro Giraud, nurseryman, of Granada, who
points out that almonds give best results on warm, rocky, limestone
soils.  Grafted on the wild Chinese stock (A. davidiana).  For trial
in the California and Arizona almond regions.

33217. AMYGDALUS COMMUNIS.  De la P. almond.  From
Granada, Spain, through Walter T. Swingle.  A large, early, hardshelled 
variety, recommended by Pedro Giraud, nurseryman, of
Granada, who points out that almonds give best results on warm,
rocky, limestone soils. Grafted on the wild Chinese stock (A.
davidiana). For trial in California and Arizona.
