The crop in California for 1917 was over 6,600,- 000 pounds of commercial nuts and of which over 75% was controlled by the California Almond Growers Association. As it is, we only supply 25% of the almond nuts used in this country, the other 75% being imported from Spain, Italy and France. The tree finds genial conditions throughout California in favored sections, free from late spring frosts, for its development of tree and nuts.
