Hardy Apricots 
In shape and color the Apricot resembles the Peach, but in 
texture and smoothness of its skin, it is more like the plum. It 
has a most delicious flavor and is much prized for eating fresh, 
canning and drying. 
Our Northern grown Apricots are budded on plum and are much 
hardier than Southern stock and longer lived than those budded 
on peach. Two trees are recommended for better pollination to 
insure an abundant crop. 
MOORPARK. The finest quality of any Apricot grown. Large 
orange-yellow fruit with red cheek. Juicy, rich and sweet. Free¬ 
stone. Ripens in August. Hardy but not recommended in the far 
North because of frost damage to the early flowers. 
SUPERB. The hardiest variety. Hardier than the Peach and the 
fruit ripens a month earlier. The latest Apricot to bloom and is 
recommended for localities where late frosts may damage earlier 
blooming varieties. Fruit medium size and of a golden-salmon 
color. Good quality, fine flavor and freestone. Ripens in July.

GOVERNOR WOOD. Light yellow, marbled with red; very

purplish red, turning almost jet black when ripe. Later than 
Bing. 
NAPOLEON. Yellow with bright red cli^ek: very large, meaty 
and sweet. Very productive ; bears young. Mid-season. 
SCHMIDT’S BIGARREAU. One of the best mid-season 
to late sorts ; color reddish-black, very large and sweet.

The Black Giant Sweet Cherry was introduced by 
Luther Burbank in 1914. The tree is large, vigorous, 
and very productive. The cherries are attractive in size 
and color; the crop is late, coming in season just before 
Lambert which the black fruits resemble in size and 
color. The quality is splendid and the cherries are less 
subject to cracking than the Bing. Giant is one of Bur¬ 
bank’s most notable productions. Prices of Black Giant 
are 10c per tree higher than the other Cherries, regard¬ 
less of size or quantity.
