Select Apricots 
THE SEASON of ripening coming between the cherries and peaches, makes this fruit 
vferv uesirable and valuable. The dainty, showy appearance of Apricot fruit, its good 
auaUty that surely appeals to the taste of any who eat Apricot fruit, and the tact that 
Apricot fridt is always in good demand in the city markets, and at good high prices for fancy 
Xe use. are points so favorable that the planting of Apricot trees should have more a^^^^ 
tion from' growers who raise fruit for market and growers who raise fruit for their tamily ana 
themselves to eat. 
Acme. Is recommended by a good author- 
ity, who states: "The Acme is the 
largest and of choicest quality of any 
we have ever grown. It is also very 
beautiful in appearance. It seemed last 
season to have the power to resist the 
adverse conditions of the rainy spring 
beyond that of any other Apricot we 
were fruiting and made a fair crop where 
others failed."

orange. Season middle of July. Fruit

fine shipper. A very choice medium 
early sort; one of the very best in culti- 
vation. Tree is a good, strong, healthy 
grower, and will stand a great deal of 
cold. Has bonie heavy crops of fruit 
with us, and from what we have seen, 
consider it one of the very best Apri- 
cots in cultivation.

orange. Ripens here the fore part of 
July. Fruit large, freestone, the best 
quality. This is an extra fine Apricot.
