Peach-almond hybrid. Prom Morgan Hill, Calif. Seeds pre- 
sented by Mr. Leonard Coates. "A peach- almond hybrid 
which, Mr . Coates says, bears fruit looking, in their 
early stages, like green peaches, but in early Sep- 
tember the flesh begins to split open and expose the 
almondlike pit. He has tried this as a stock and 
finds that it produces the branching roots of a peach 
but is more vigorous than any other stock. He guar- 
antees that It will make double the growth of the 
ordinary peach seeds in the nursery row. This hybrid 
was procured by Mr. Coates from a man living near
