The Apricot is one of the 
most beautiful and deHc- 
ious fruits we possess, 
" and its value is greatly 
enhanced by the season of its ripening — between cherries 
and peaches. In the selection of choice garden fruits it is quite in- 
dispensable. For stiff and damp soils they should be on plum stocks; 
but on light, loamy, gravelly and sandy soils, the peach is better. To 
protect against the curculio, see directions for the Plum.
