APRICOTS 
A fruit in which California leads the world in commercial 
production, and of which Santa Clara County is the largest 
grower in the State. Our stock and assortment is unusually 
fine this season, and we hope our old patrons will take advantage 
of it. 
On Apricot, Peach and Myrobolan Root. 
BLENHEIM. One of the most popular varieties in most parts of 
California for both canning and drying. Fruit a little larger than Royal, 
but must be well thined as it is a prolific bearer. 
EARLY NEWCASTLE. One of the earliest of all Apricots. Fruit 
of medium size, with good color, and good quality. Very good for 
shipping and especially so in districts where it ripens much earlier 
than the Royal. 
LOSSE BLENHEIM APRICOT 
LOSSE BLENHEIM. We handle the Losse strain of Blenheim, 
which we considered the best commercial strain in existence. Fruit 
is of large size, excellent quality and noted for being a very heavy 
producer; it is also considered the most popular variety in most parts 
of California for both canning and drying. 
HEMSKIRKE. A fine, large, richly colored variety, ripening a little 
after the Blenheim. Flavor similar to Moorpark, but ripens more evenly. 
MOORPARK. This originated in England over 200 years ago. It is 
our largest and finest variety, but a shy bearer, and sometimes ripens 
unevenly. A splendid home variety. 
PEACH. Flesh fine yellow, saffron color, juicy, rich and highly flavored. 
Does particularly well in warm parts of the State. 
TILTON. Fruit large, symmetrical, ripening evenly and one week to 
ten days later than Royal. A favorite in the San Joaquin Valley. Its 
color increases its value on the fresh fruit market.

CHERRIES 
The cherry is adverse to extremes of temperature—it likes 
a situation where extremes are avoided. This will explain the 
somewhat limited areas in which this fruit is grown in com¬ 
mercial quantities. The central counties tempered by the sea 
air are recognized for their fine cherry orchards.
