Russian Apricots 
Beautiful and delicious fruit. In quality and appearance is between plum and peach, combin¬ 
ing qualities of both. Ripening early, together with its delightful flavor makes it one of the 
most valuable fruits. Tree hardy as the peach. Requires about the same cultiva¬ 
tion as the peach or plum. It ships well and commands a good price in any 
market. For drying and canning, it has no superior. The Russian varieties are 
quite distinct from the other European sorts; much hardier, earlier bearers and 
productive.

To plant, see that the ground is 
well drained. Work it up fine and 
deep, make it very rich with well- 
rotted manure. Locate the plants 
eight inches apart in rows three 
feet apart, spread out the roots in a 
trench made deep enough to permit 
the crowns to be covered with three 
or four inches of mellow earth. 
Give the bed a dressing of manure 
and except near the seashore three pounds of salt early every spring. 
Do not cut for use until the plants have grown two seasons.
