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 the 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 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.
