The apricot is one of tho.se fruits that do fairly well on limestone soil ; a 
rich, heavy soil is however preferred. As the apricot bkwms early, it should 
not be planted extensively in localities visited by late frosts. The fruit is 
much beloved for its rich and aromatic flavor, and the apricot should be rep- 
resented by a few trees, at le;ist, in ever}’ garden. 
The culture is about the same as that of the peach.
