SELECT APRICOTS. 
The Apricot is a very beautiful and delicious fruit, ripening between the 
season of Cherries and Peaches. It is very ornamental in Spring, with its 
luxuriance of early blossoms, followed in Summer with its golden fruit. It is 
subject to the attacks of the Curculio, and we would recommend the same treat- 
ment as for the Plum. It is well adapted to training on walls.

SELECT NECTARINES.

which renders it subject to the attacks of the Curculio. For preserving it 
from this pest, we would advise the same plan as given under the head of 
Plums.
