a good shipping and canning peach and very desirable on account of its ear- 
liness, ripening with the Early Crawford.

for canning. August. 
APRICOTS . 
The apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious fruits we possess, 
and its value is greatly enhanced by the season of its ripening — between cher- 
ries and peaches. 
In the selecting of choice garden fruits it is quite indispensable. It suc- 
ceeds admirably trained in Espalier form, which will be found advantageous 
in small gardens, as it may occupy a house wall, fence or trellis, leaving the 
open ground for other trees. In cold sections, too, where trees get winter- 
killed or the bloom injured by the late spring frosts, these Espalier trees can 
easily be protected by mat or board screens. 
BLENHEIM— Large, oval; flesh full to the pit, yellow, rich and juicy; 
ripens evenly and soon after the Royal; regular and prolific bearer; profit- 
able for canning, drying and marketing. 
HEMSKIRK— Large, roundish; flesh bright orange, tender and juicy, with 
a rich plum-like flavor; fruit not quite as large as the Moorpark, but ripening 
more evenly. 
MOORPARK— Very large; yellowish green, browish red on the sunny side 
marked with numerous dark specks and dots; flesh bright orange; parts free- 
ly from the stone; fine for canning and drying; the most popular variety in 
the northern coast counties. 
PEACH— Very large, handsome and of delicious flavor; skin deep orange, 
mottled with dark brown; flesh of a fine saffron yellow color, rich, juicy, and 
highly flavored ; one of the best. August. 
ROYAL French origin; fruit medium, oval, slightly compressed; dull yel- 
low, with red flesh on side exposed to the sun; flesh pale orange, with rich 
vinous flavor; very desirable; more extensively planted than any other 
variety; excellent for canning and drying. June.
