richest, highest and most luscious flavor. Leaves

magnificent yellow cling of largest size; skin mostly 
covered with bright crimson; hardy, productive

ductive variety, in every way worthy of extensive

Tuscan Cling. Large; yellow; red at pit; heavy

APRICOTS 
Barry. Large; orange yellow with a pink blush; 
skin very smooth; pit small; heavy and regular 
bearer, not having failed to produce crop for twenty 
years; ripens two weeks before Blenheim or Royal; 
yields one pound dried to four and a quarter pounds 
fresh. 
Black (Prunus dasycarpa). Entirely distinct 
from the ordinary type of apricots in growth, foli¬ 
age and fruit, which is tomato-shaped, dull red and 
slightly downy. We have fruited this for twenty- 
five years and find it remarkably similar to sup¬ 
posed hybrids of plum and apricot known as 
“plumcots.” 
Blenheim. Above medium; oval; orange; flesh 
deep yellow, juicy and fairly rich; vigorous grower 
and regular, prolific bearer. 
Hemskirke. Strongly resembles Moorpark in size 
and color, but differs in bearing better and ripen¬ 
ing a little earlier and more evenly. July and 
August. 
Large Early Montgamet. Large; reddish next 
the sun; flesh orange yellow, very firm. Ripens 
one week before Royal. 
Moorpark. One of the largest, most popular and 
widely disseminated apricots; deep orange or 
brownish red; flesh quite firm, bright orange, part¬ 
ing freely from the stone; quite juicy, with a rich 
and luscious flavor; a favorite canning variety. 
In some sections a shy and irregular bearer. Au¬ 
gust.

shade smaller than the Royal, and two to three 
weeks earlier. 
Oullin’s Early. An early variety of the Peach 
apricot, of large size and good quality. July.

splashed with red in the sun; flesh juicy and 
rich, with high flavor. 
Royal. A standard variety; skin dull yellow, 
with an orange cheek; flesh pale orange, firm and 
juicy, with a rich, vinous flavor; equally valu¬ 
able for canning and drying. July. 
Sardinian. A small, very early freestone; skin 
white, with crimson blush; flesh clear white, juicy 
and very delicious; pit very small. Excellent for 
pickling and eating lresh. For home use only.

ty; largest size, larger even than Moorpark; skin 
pale lemon color; flesh clear yellow, very tender, 
juicy and sweet; highly perfumed.
