SELECT APRICOTS. 
The Apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious fruits we possess; and its value 
is greatly enhanced by the season of its ripening—between cherries and peaches. 
In a selection of choice garden fruits, it is quite indispensable. It succeeds admirably, 
trained in Espalier form, which will be found advantageous in small gardens, as it ma 
occupy a house, wall, fence or trellis, leaving the open ground for other trees. In cold sections 
too, where the tree gets winter killed, or the blossoms injured by late spring frosts, these 
Espalier trees can very easily be protected by matt or board screens. For stiff and damp 
soils, they should be on plum stocks; but on light, loamy, gravelly and sandy soils, the 
peach is better. To protect against the Curculio, see directions for the Plum.
