APRICOTS 
Apricots are best adapted for planting in city gardens, or where 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 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 given below:
