SECTIOX IIL— APKICOTS. 



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 

 X^ecuniary return can be confidently anticipated from them. Since they are recommended only as 

 amateur fruits, they are not quoted for cooking.
