Apricots 
Apricots give the best results when planted in a situation where they are protected from the north and 
west by buildings or trees. The Apricot is one of the most delicious fruits grown; therefore a little extra 
rare should be given in protecting the blooms from late spring frosts. A smudging on nights when frosts impend 
will save the fruit. The trees, when planted in orchards, seldom last long here unless protected by surrounding 
timber or tall growing fruit trees. As the Apricot is particularly susceptible to the attack of the curculio. the 
fruit should be sprayed the same as peaches. The trees 
have clean cultivation. The period of maturity extends

Figs 
This fruit adapts itself to a wide 'range of soils and climates. By protecting the plants during winter 
some varieties have been successfully grown in the state of New York. 
The canning of Figs for commercial purposes is gradually extending throughout the South. The supply of 
preserved and canned Figs is never equal to the demand. In some sections fresh Figs are 8 s ® ® , , 
fully shipped to markets a distance of four or five hundred miles. The fruit must be carefully handled, and 
it should be packed in strawberry baskets. 
The trees should be planted 12 to 18 feet apart, according to character of soil, and they should be trimmed so 
as to admit plenty of light and air into the center of the tree. Figs bear early, and the ripening period covers 
the season from June until November
