SELECT APRICOTS. 



The Apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious fruits we possess; and its vnlflc 

 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 may 

 occupy a house, wall, fence or trellis, leaving the open ground for other trees. I n 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, l-'or stiff and damp 

 soils, they should be on plan) stocks; but on light, loamy, gravelly and sandy soils, the 

 peach is better. To protect against the Curculio, see directions for the Rlum.
