A Burbank 
Improved Apricot 
This picture sug- 
gests the qualities of 
this improved apricot, no- 
tably its succulent and 
juicy flesh, and the rela- 
tively free stone. It is to 
be observed, however, that 
the stone is still larger 
than is to be desired. The 
color of the exterior of the 
fruit is not important, be- 
cause the apricot is almost 
altogether used for drying. 
With fruits marketed in 
the fresh state, the color 
is an important item, 
many people buying fruit 
quite as much for its 
appearance as for 
its taste.
