APRICOTS 
The Apricot is one of the most delicious of fruits, and is especially desirable because of the fact 
that its season of ripening is between that of the cherries and peaches. Another of its advantages is 
in its form of growth — trained in Espalier form, it will occupy a house wall, fence or trellis and 'equire 
comparatively small space. The Apri- 
cot is subject to attacks from the 
curculio and requires the same treat- 
ment as plums to prevent the ravages 
of this pest. We offer especially hardy 
kinds, which will thrive in very severe 
climates. 
Alexis. Very large; yellow, with 
red cheek; slightly acid, rich and 
luscious; very hardy and abundant 
bearer. July. 
Early Golden. Small; pale orange; 
juicy and sweet; hardy and productive. 
Early July. 
Early Moorpark. Large; orange, 
with red cheek; sweet, juicy and rich; 
flavor of the finest, making it a superior 
kind; parts easily from the stone; very 
productive. July. 
QUINCES 
The Quince has attracted a great 
deal of attention in the past few years 
as a market fruit. The tree is hardy 
and compact in growth, requiring but 
little space. It is productive, yields 
regularly, and comes into bearing 
early. The fruit is very desirable for 
canning purposes. One quart of 
Quinces to four quarts of other fruit 
will impart a delicious flavor to jellies and preserves. The Quince flourishes in any good garden soil, 
which should be kept mellow and well enriched. 
Bourgeat. Large; golden yellow; very tender when cooked. The fruit can easily be kept until 
January. Bush is a remarkably strong grower, commences to bear very young and yields immense 
crops. October. 
Orange. Large; golden yellow; cooks tender and is of e.xcellent flavor. Very productive. Sept. 
Rea's Mammoth. Large; bright yellow; flavor \'ery pleasing. Tree a hardy and healthy grower;

GRAPES 
The Grape is universally considered one of the most healthful of all fruits. It is highly esteemed 
for its many uses and can be grown by every one who has a garden, a yard or a wall. Grape-vines 
can be confined to a stake, bound to a trellis, trained over an arbor, or e.\tended until they cover 
large trees and buildings. 
While results of the most favorable character may be procured from the culture of Grapes under 
proper conditions, they are likely to be very disappointing under bad culture or neglect. Satisfactory 
yields in Grape culture can be made only by close attention and forethought. Full directions for the 
pruning and culture of Grapes will be found in our new work on fruit-growing — "Transplanting and 
After-Culture."
