About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XVII. FRUITS.--VARIETIES AND CULTURE. ALMOND.--(AmygcUdus communis.) The almond is a native of Asia and northern Africa. It is a tree of medium size, nearly allied to the peach in habit and general appearance. The leaves are similar to the peach, having glands like some varieties of the latter fruit, and flowers of similar shape, but much larger and more ornamental, varying in color from pure white to a fine blush. The chief difference is in the fruit, the stone of the almond being flatter, not so hard, and covered with a woolly skin that opens spontaneously when the kernel is ripe. In southern Europe, the almond is much cultivated, and large quantities of nuts exported. The kernel is the part used; the sweet varieties, whether green or dry, form a very nutiitious article of food, and a most agreeable addition to the dessert. Almonds are used in confectionery, cooking, perfumery, and medicine. The bitter almond is the kind used in perfumery and flavoring; it contains prussic acid, which, though a violent poison, is not thought injurious in the small quantities required for these purposes. Cultivation.--A warm, dry soil is most suitable for the almond, which is cultivated exactly like the peach, and is subject to the same diseases; it may be budded on the almond, peach, or plum stock. The varieties are: Common Almond. -- Nuts one and one-fourth inch long, hard, smooth, compressed, and pointed, with a kernel of agreeable flavor. The hardiest and most productive variety, and is the common hard-shelled almond of the shops; flowers open before the leaves appear. Long Hard-Shelled.--Nuts of the same size as the former, with a larger kernel and better flavor; flowers large and rose-colored. The tree is quite ornamental, when in bloom....
