Apples 
Clay or clay loam is the best soil for growing Apples. The land should be plowed well and 
deep before setting the trees. It should, of course, be well drained and kept thoroughly culti¬ 
vated. Too much emphasis cannot be put on the importance of drainage; recent investigation 
has shown that a surplus of water in the orchard produces fruit of an inferior quality and flavor. 
The expenses of tilling or ditching is not to be compared with the profits that are derived from an 
orchard that is properly drained and cultivated. 
Plant Apple trees 25 to 40 feet apart, each

Apricots 
Apricots are best adapted for planting in city gardens, or where trees are protected by sur¬ 
rounding building. They are among the most delicious of fruits, and, therefore, a little extra care 
should be given in protecting the flowers from late spring frosts. The trees, when planted in 
orchards, seldom last long here, unless protected by surrounding timber or tall-growing fruit trees,
