APRICOTS

Apricots are best adapted for planting in city gardens, or where trees are protected by surrounding; build¬ 
ings. They are among the most delicious of fruits, and, therefore, a little extra care should bo given in pro¬ 
tecting the flowers from the late soring frosts. The trees, when planted in orchards, seldom last long here, 
unless protected by surrounding timber or tall-growing fruit trees, btit in many sections of the southwest 
this is one of the most desirable of orchard fruits. The period of maturity extends from the beginning of 
June to the end of July. The best varieties are as follows: 
EARLY GOLDEN. (DuBois.) Fruit small, rounded 
oval; skin smooth, pale orange, moderately juicy and
