APRICOTS. 



The fruit of the Apricot is similar in shape to the Peach, except that it is not downy 

 and is almost perfectly smooth. The leaves are cordate or heart-shaped and not long as 

 Peach leaves and the bark of the wood is coarse grained and not smooth and glossy like 

 Peach wood. Apricots should not be confounded with Nectarines or Naked Fruited 

 Peaches, which are often mistaken for Apricats. We handle the following varieties: 

 Royal. | Bungoum. \ Santa Fee. 



Price. 40c. each; $4,00 per dozen. 



Citrus Trifoliata. 



As our Orange trees in Louisiana, when either on their own roots or grafted upon the- 

 sour stocfc, frequently during cold winters get killed down or suffer to such an extent that 

 it takes several years for them to recover from the effects, it is essential for us to use for 

 grafting or budding upon a stock w T hich is sufficiently hardy enough to stand our most 

 severe winters. Such a stock we find in the wild native Orange of Japan, the Citrus 

 Trifoliata.
