History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
blossomed, which they plant on little mounts for ornament, and dwarfs in pots for their apartments. It 
appears from Turner's Herbal, that the apricot was cultivated here in 1562 ; and in Hackluyt's Remembrancer, 
1.582, it is affirmed, that the apricot was procured out of Italy by Wolfe, a French priest, gardener to 
Henry VIII. The fruit seems to have been known in Italy in the time of Dioscorides, under tlie name of 
Prcscocia, probably, as Regnier supposes, from the Arabic, Berkoch j whence the Tuscan, Bacocke or 
Albicocco, and the English Apricock ; or, as Professor Martyn observes, a tree when first introduced, might 
have been caUed a pnecox, or early fruit ; and gardeners, taking the article a for the first syllable of the word, 
might easily have corrupted it to apricocks. The orthography seems to have been finally changed to apricot 
about the end of the last century. 
There are fifteen or twenty excellent varieties of apricot, besides the peach apricot, a large fruit supposed 
to be a hybrid between a peach and an apricot. The trees are generally budded on plum stocks, and always 
trained against walls. Apricots do not force freely. 
1130. Chrysobalanus. From x^va-o?, gold, and ^ccXavog, an acorn ; in allusion to the size, color, and form of 
its fruit. C. Icaco (the West Indian name) bears flowers and fruit not unlike the plum, which is sold in 
the markets of the West Indies, and eaten both raw and preserved. Both species grow well in a sandy loam. 
Large cuttings root best, taken off at a joint, and planted thinly in a pot of sand, without having their leaves 
injured, and a hand-glass placed over them. {Bot. Cult. 39.) 
1131. Mespilus. In Greek /jt^iffiriXvi, from ^£«ra?, half, and ^iXo;, bullet ; the fruit resembling half a bullet or 
round ball. In French it is called nefle, from the Celtic naff, which also signifies truncate. M. Germanica, 
bears a turbinated berry, which is eaten raw in a state of incipient decay. It is little cultivated, but one or 
two trees are generally introduced in shrubberies or in complete orchards. There are one or two varieties 
besides the wild sort ; what is called the Dutch medlar is reckoned the best. It is grafted on seedlings of the
