The Wild Goose is a native plum and 
should be planted near other plums of 
this class for pollenization. The fact 
that it is good quality and will produce 
good sized fruit anywhere under almost 
any conditions, has made it the most 
widely planted native plum. Very early. 
"Plums will grow on almost any soil. 
They wilt thrive on moist, heavier soil then 
will the other fruits, but succeed best on fer- 
tile, well-drained land. They will (irow and 
produce good fruit in spite of necilcct, and 
have often been called the 'poor man's fruit.' 
as they are found in alleys, fence corners, 
etc. However they respond readily to care 
and attention, and should be cultivated and 
sprayed like other fruits." — From our "In- 
side Facts of Profitable Fruit Growing."

APRICOTS 
THE APRICOT is one of the most delightfully luscious fruits grown. It is remarkable that such a 
rich and beautiful, golden, sweet fruit is not planted more, especially since it ripens just alter 
the early cherries and before the best early peaches. Apricots succeed in many localities and will stand 
more winter cold than peaches, although the bloom is more apt to be injured by spring frosts. 
The cultivation and care of the apricot is somewhat like that of 
the peach, and it is just as productive as the peach. The apricot is 
often attacked by the curculio, but this pestiferous little beetle is 
now readily controlled by the same system of spraying with dilute 
lime sulphur and arsenate of lead, as is used for peaches. 
ROYAL Color a light yellowish- TILTON Large, symmetrical, at- 
(Freestone) orange. Flesh light yellow, (Freestone) tractive; one of the best

to peach regions.
