Your special attention is called to Apricots, not only 
for their most valuable fruit, but particularly for their 
vigorous growth, beautiful foliage, drought resistance, 
which combined would make the Apricot a most de¬ 
sirable shade and ornamental tree. For this purpose 
increased numbers of Superb Apricots are being plant- 
ed, and I urge you to give Superb Apricot your consideration if you neea 
a number of shade trees around your home. Include at least one or two ot 
these fine trees in your shade tree planting.

Superb, the greatest of all hardy Apricots fight 8 £?mo e ri 
color, large, flavor excellent. The fruit of this tree is as good as the best. 
The tree: a most abundant bearer, perfectly hardy except in the extreme 
North. It is a rapid grower that develops a pretty spreading crown with a 
beautiful, healthy foliage; on this account it is being planted in larger num¬ 
bers than ever before as a shade tree. In some localities (Western Kansas 
and elsewhere) it is one of the very few trees that survived the drought. 
I am pricing the trees low, so that all my customers can take advantage 
of this wonderful tree. 
Similar to Superb, except that I can hardly recom¬ 
mend it for planting north of Nebraska. The fruit 
is pale yellow with a red cheek. I recommend it for shade and fruit same 
as Superb. One of the best for canning. 
Moorpark, American Apricot f r r e c e ^Vred 'on^sunnytide; 
This is one of the best market varieties; excellent for drying and canning. 
Not hardy north of southern Kansas and Missouri. 
Resembles Moorpark very closely, ex¬ 
cept that it ripens a little earlier, 
about the middle of June. A most profitable market fruit for the South. 
RUSSIAN APRICOT SEEDLINGS 
The Most Valuable Tree for Windbreaks. 
Grows Fast ... Is Hardy . . . Bears Fruit. 
The Russian Apricot Seedling will grow rapidly, the foliage is healthy, and 
the trees will be well branched to make a fine windbreak. If you lay out 
a windbreak with one row of Russian Apricot seedlings, one row of Peach 
seedlings and one or two rows of Hackberry or Chinese Elm you will have 
about as valuable a planting as there is, with the exception of an Evergreen 
windbreak, which is much more expensive and cannot be grown in so short 
a time. I am pricing Apricot and Peach Seedlings so low that you can take 
to this type of windbreak planting. Plant this year. Take advantage of 
the price.

Makes a large, spreading crown, fruit produced in enormous quantities, 
the berries range in color from black to white, and from sweet to quite 
tart. In many homes the berries are canned with Rhubarb or Gooseberries. 
Song-birds regard a Mulberry tree as a complete boarding house. No farm 
should be without Russian Mulberries. For post growing use the seedlings 
listed on page 21. Also for hedges.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Fill in loose soil all around the roots. The best soil you can possibly get for this purpose is soil from the surface that has been 
worked, and does not contain fresh fertilizer. Fill in until the hole is within a few inches from being level full. Then water. 
Apply several bucketfuls. This not only gives the tree the necessary moisture to start, it also settles the soil and packs it firmly 
around the roots much better than could be done by tramping. When the water is all soaked away, and the soil settled, about 
an hour after watering, fill the holes level full with medium dry soil, and bank it up a few inches around the body of the tree. 
This soil takes the place of any mulch.
