Foliage of the 
Apricot 
The leaves here 
shown are from one 
of Mr. Burbank’s improved 
apricots. With the apricot, 
as with other fruit bearers, 
Mr. Burbank was able to 
make selection in the case 
of seedlings by examina- 
tion of the foliage and of 
the buds. Leaves of a 
rich deep color like those 
here shown, and fat, well- 
rounded buds, indicate 
qualities of tree that 
will make a good 
fruit bearer.
