Superb 
Apricot 
APRICOTS 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS. Plant 20 feet apart, 
always plant two or more trees, as this will pro¬ 
mote fertilization at the blooming- time. In select¬ 
ing a place it should be remembered that the Ap¬ 
ricot on a sunny location will bloom very early. 
Unless your trees can be planted on north sides of 
buildings, we would suggest that when in bearing age 
you care for your trees during the winter as follows: 
When the ground is frozen deep during January, place 
straw on top of the ground around your Apricot trees. 
If the straw lays about a foot deep it will keep the 
frost in the soil longer in the spring. This will post¬ 
pone blooming for ten days or two weeks and will in 
most years bring your trees through the period of late 
frost danger. 
The Russian Apricots are of a hardy strain, their 
fruit is most desirable. They can be planted as far 
north as South Dakota. The American Apricot is 
hardy as far north as southern Illinois and Indiana, 
eastern Oklahoma, southern Colorado, Texas, New 
Mexico and the Pacific states.

Russian Mulberry 
Russian Apricots 
Superb. Freestone. The best of all Russian 
Apricots. In flavor, size of fruit and produc¬ 
tiveness, we know of no hardy rival. Ripens 
here end of June. 
Budd. Large yellow with red cheek. Prolific bearer. 
Ripens July 1st to 10th. 
American Apricots 
When the Mennonite settlers first brought this tree 
along from Russia, a good many years ago, they cer¬ 
tainly made a great contribution to the tree population 
of America. As a fruit tree, as a bird preserve, in the 
windbreak and wood lot, you will always find the Rus¬ 
sian Mulberry a most valuable tree. Canned with 
Gooseberries or Cherries, the tree will furnish you a 
lot of good canning material. There is no better way 
of attracting songbirds to your home surroundings 
than by planting Mulberries. The berries ripening 
about the same time as the cherries, your songbirds 
will pay little attention to your cherries. The trees 
and seedlings are so low priced you can put them out 
in large numbers. They grow fast—it will not be long 
before you have a lot of benefit from your Mulberries. 
Moorpark. Freestone. Very large, yellowish green with 
red cheek. Flesh bright orange, fine for canning 
and drying. Absolutely not hardy in Nebraska and 
Kansas. Ripens late in June. 
Chinese Apricot. Large, pale yellow with light red 
cheek on sunny side. It is claimed to be the hardi¬ 
est apricot. Let’s say it is about as hardy as the 
Russian varieties.

Price of Russian Mulberry Seedlings: 
Persimmon 
Hardy as far north as the southern half of Nebraska. 
The fruit is not very large and must be fully ripe 
before it is good to eat. The tree in its appearance 
is very ornamental and may be used for this purpose 
to good advantage. The wood is valuable. Persim¬ 
mons will grow even on the poorest soil. South of 
here, in planting windbreaks, put in a part Persim¬ 
mons, another part in Peach seedlings, a few Russian 
Apricot seedlings, some Russian Mulberries, the rest 
in other kinds of trees, and you wull have a windbreak 
which serves more than one purpose. 
Price of Persimmon Seedlings: 18 to 24 inch, post¬ 
paid, 17c each; 10 for $1.40; 25 seedlings or more for 
12c each, postpaid.

Dear Mr. Sonderegger: 
My shipment of nursery stock arrived in excellent 
condition. 
I am pleased with the size and the quality of the 
trees. I am also pleased with the price. I do not know 
another place where such excellent trees can be 
bought for so little money. 
When I need other things in your line I shall give 
you first consideration. Yours very truly, 
JOHN B. DE LACY.

Gentlemen: 
The goods arrived o. k., was planted immediately, 
and believe it or not, this morning the Prunus Triloba 
has three or four buds almost open on it. And the 
Hawthorn, which was mailed parcel post, also has 
leaf buds this a. m., and this was planted only a week 
ago; in fact, all 17 of the shrubs are showing leaves 
and all are exceptionally fine shrubs, for which we 
thank you. 
The goods bought from you in previous years are 
strong and healthy, and making a good showing now, 
especially the Eva Rathke Weigela and Rugosa Rosea, 
which are all full of bloom now, as well as the ram¬ 
blers. MRS. E. C. HUBBARD,
