APRICOT. Armeniaca vulgaris 
(D. C.) Nat. Ord. Amygdaline. These 
esteemed fruits are sometimes cultivated 
as standard trees in an orchard, but 
more generally as dwarf trees trained 
against a wall; by the former method, 
if a proper selection of sorts is made, 
immense crops of rather small fruit is 
obtained; but this increase of number 
is not usually considered equivalent to 
the loss of flavour sustained, as com¬ 
pared with those having the advantage 
of protection, when also the individual 
specimens are so much larger and supe¬ 
rior in every respect. When, therefore, 
fine fruit for the dessert is desired, it is 
necessary to grow the plants in the 
latter mode, though where* quantities are 
required for jellies and such other pur¬ 
poses, it may be well to have a few 
trees planted in the open garden as an 
assistance to the wall-trees, and their 
fruit will be excellent for such uses. 
In the nursery Apricots are propa¬ 
gated by budding upon free-growing 
plum-stocks, and usually make speci¬ 
mens fit for transplanting in two years, 
when they are termed “maiden plants,” 
to distinguish them from those a year 
or two older, and which have had their 
branches arranged, or what are called 
“ trained trees.” A prejudice exists 
[with some in favour of the maiden trees
