SELECT APRICOTS. 



The Apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious fruits we possess, and its value 

 is greatly enhanced hy the season of its ripening — between cherries and peaches. 



In the selection of choice garden fruits it is quite indispensable. It succeeds admir- 

 ably trained in Espalier form, which will be found advantageous in small gardens, as it 

 may occupy a house wall, fence or trellis, leaving the open ground for ^ other trees. In 

 cold sections, too, where the trees get winter-killed, or the blossoms injured by the late 

 spring frosts, these Espalier trees can easily be protected by mat 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.
