Spanish and Japanese. The American strain, wliile sxveeterthan the others, has yielded few, if any, prolitable market varieties. Their small size, poor color, and fuzzy appearance make the nuts sell for low prices in the market. There are some seedlings that promise to be improvements in this respect, but at present commercial groves are composed almost entirely of Spanish and Japanese varieties. Of Ihese the earli- est to ripen, and also the largest, is the Japanese, The skin of the Japanese varieties has a much more bitter taste than either the Spanish or American varieties. This bitterness, however, largely disappears in cook- ing and in drying.
