A new fruit combining the luscious taste of the pech 
and the tang of the almond, has jU3t b^en produeedpy 
Dr. Juan Balme, plant wizard of the Mexican Hortiul- 
tural Department, after years of experimenting. 
Seven years ago Dr. Balme began the work of uti- 
lizing the blossom of the peach with the pollen ofthe 
sweet or edible almond, says a report just receive* by 
the Department of Commerce from its representative 
in Mexico City. , „ , J_ ' 
Prior to this, he imported from the Umtec btites, 
trees of a fine, juicy sweet freestone peach ard o; the 
fine paper- shell almond grown in California. 
What Dr. Balme has done is to eliminate tie useless 
bitter kernel of the peach and substitute in is place a 
valuable article of commerce. The new seediooks like 
the edible almond, and, while a little' thicker t]&n that of 
its maternal ancestor, the shell has the frer of the 
alme*Ml shell and the kernel is of the size, Consistency 
and taste of the edible almond. . 
The flesh of the new fru# is sweet and jufy and agri- 
cultural experts think it superior in delicacpf flavor to 
its paternal ancestor, the peach. The new ,uit is called 
the Peachmond.
