ALBANY NURSERIES 
We grow the commercial varieties on peach, apricot and plum roots, 
while the non-commercial varieties are grown principally on peach root. 
Soils suited for peaches are likewise satisfactory for apricots, while if 
plum or apricot roots are used, a heavier soil can be used for apricot cul- 
ture. 
Alexander. Hardy and immense bearer; 
fruit large; yellow flecked with red; beau- 
tiful, sweet and delicious. July. 
Blenheim. Large, oval; flesh full to the 
pit; yellow, rich and juicy; ripens evenly 
and soon after the Royal; regular and pro- 
lific bearer; profitable for canning, drying 
and marketing. 
Hemskirk. Large, roundish, but consid- 
erably compressed or flattened on its sides; 
orange, with red cheek, flesh bright orange, 
tender, rather more juicy and sprightly 
than the Moorpark, with a rich and lus- 
cious plum-like flavor. July. 
J. L. Budd. Tree strong grower and pro- 
fuse bearer. Fruit large, white with red 
cheek, sweet, juicy, with a sweet kernel; 
as fine flavored as an almond. The best 
late variety and decided acquisition. Aug. 
Moorpark. One of the largest. Orange, 
with a red cheek, firm, juicy with a rich 
flavor; productive. August. 
Peach. (Marysville Peach.) Large hand- 
some and of delicious flavor, skin deep 
orange, mottled with dark brown, flesh of 
a fine saffron-yellow color, juicy, rich and 
high flavored. August. 
Royal. Large, oval, slightly compressed; 
yellow, with orange cheek, faintly tinged 
with red; flesh pale orange, firm and juicy, 
with a rich vinous flavor; exceedingly pro- 
ductive. July. 
Tilton. Its large size, rich apricot color, 
high flavor, uniform ripening, sure and un- 
usual productiveness, with frost resisting 
qualities and vigorous growth, easily place 
it far in advance of all other varieties. 
For drying or canning it is much superior 
to any of those older varietes. 
Tilton Apricots, the most successful 
variety for the north. 
( Cydonia. vulgaris) 
r I , HE QUINCE is of late attracting a good deal of attention as a market 
1 fruit. Scarcely any fruit will pay better in the orchard. The tree is 
hardy and compact in growth, requiring but little space; productive; gives 
regular crops and comes into bearing early. The fruit is much sought 
after for canning for winter use. When put up in the proportion of about 
one quart of quinces to four quarts of other fruit it imparts a delicious 
flavor. 
It flourishes in any good garden soil, which should be kept mellow
