huge demand for them in England and
Germany, where they are used as a
substitute for almonds in candy and
in cheap grades of puddings and
pastry.
The fruit Is cultivated in the Ba.

recently the stones, when the pulp
was removed from them, were treated
as refuse Children pick out the
kernels and they are dried and
