SECTION III.— APRICOTS. 



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

 aa, 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.
