APRICOTS 
Apricots come at a season between Cherries and Peaches. The bright yellow fruits, 
sometimes blushed with pink have a very delicate flesh that is sweet in flavor. Apricot trees 
should be planted in a northern or exposed situation where the blossoming will be held 
back, this will help correct their chief fault of blossoming too early and being caught by the 
frost. With proper cultivation and care they are as hardy and productive as Peaches.
