Apricots 
Prices, 25 cents each, 82 for 10; 815 per 100. 
Apricots are best adapted for planting in city gardens, or where the trees are protected by surrounding buildings. They are 
among the most delicious of fruits, and therefore, a little extra care should be given in protecting the flowers from the late spring 
frosts. The trees, when planted in orchards, seldom last long here, unless protected by surrounding timber or tall-growing fruit 
trees, but in many sectious 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, Moorpark, Roman and Royal. 
Cherries
