SECTION III.-APRICOTS. 



Apricots are recommended for dessert or amateur purposes, with little reference to actual profit, as 

 owing to occasional loss of the very early bloom, and liability to injury from extreme cold in unfavorable 

 localities, together with extreme liability to the depredations of the curculio, little pecuniary return can 

 be confidently anticipated from them. Since they are recommended only as amateur fruits, they are not 

 quoted for cooking or market.
