 "Based on the results of a variety test started in the spring of 
 1915, information is given on the blooming habits, cultural require- 
 ments, time of blooming, and varietal characteristics. In six of 
 the seven years covered, practically all of the nuts were killed by 
 frosts which followed blossoming, leading to the observation that 
 the almond is useful only for ornamental or shade purposes in this 
 region." - Expt. Sta. Rec. 61:141. July-Dec. 1929.

 "A careful histological study, especially of the tissues surround- 
 ing the embryo, was made of the nuts of four domestic soft— shelled 
 and four imported hard— shelled varieties of almonds. The chief dif- 
 ference between the two types of nuts lies in the structure of the 
 cells of the outer epidermis of the testa, the modified epidermal 
 cells of the soft— shelled varieties "being only slightly lignified as 
 compared with those of the hard-shelled varieties. These cells, 
 characterized as stone cells, were longer in the hard-shelled varie- 
 ties, the ratio of length to width "being approximately 2 to 1 as com- 
 pared with 5 to 4 in the soft-shelled nuts # 
 
 "The author deemed it likely that a satisfactory method of distin- 
 guishing the different varieties in the shelled state may be devel- 
 oped on the basis of this work, thus preventing misrepresentation or 
 adulteration." - Expt. Sta. Rec. 64:427. Jan. -June 1931.
