This is a new variety brought by Mr. Wirt from Idaho in 1935 and is the first year 
offered. The fruit is the size of a medium sized peach, the pit the size of apricot, the 
flavor of Apricot, the foliage of the tree is like Apricot but the leaves are much larger 
than most apricot leaves. This variety is perfect flowering and does not need another
