Narrative

A variety originated from a seedling on the M. J. Bigelow ranch, at Oakley, Calif., in 1896. The original tree is still living. Mr. Bigelow was im- pressed by the good bearing qualities of the tree. The variety was distributed to a number of growers in the section and is now grown to a considerable extent in the Oakley-Brentwood-Antioch districts. This variety blooms a little earlier than the Nonpareil and ripens late (very last of August and early September). The kernel is unattractive, owing to ALMOND VARIETIES IN THE UNITED STATES 31 the dark pellicle. The variety is a good bearer and has therefore been a favorite with some growers. It is inferior to the Nonpareil, I. X. L., and Ne Plus Ultra from a marketing standpoint and should not be widely planted.
