ALMONDS 
Almond trees are very early bloomers. The 
best locations are on higher lands free of frost 
and with good air-drainage. Low, wet, cold sit¬ 
uations should be avoided. Almonds grow best 
in a porous, well drained, sandy loam soil. Tavo 
or more varieties of almonds should be planted 
together to provide proper pollination. The best 
pollinating variety is Drake’s Seedling Avhich 
can be planted with I.X.L. or Nonpareil.
