During the winter and spring of 1937 we shipped to customers the first trees of the 
Perfection apricot propagated. All of which were one year from the bud grown in the 
summer of 1936. In order to test and prove the claim of its hardiness, size, and bearing 
under varied climatic conditions, these trees were distributed over a wide section of 
the Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain country. After two years we have received the 
following reports from growers and newspapers which support its claim as the PER¬ 
FECT APRICOT.

Tilton Apricot—Season 1939 Perfection Apricots — Oregon grown 
70 Tiltons to face a standard Apricot Box. Season 1939 
14 Tiltons made one pound. 35 Perfections to face a standard Apricot 
Box. 4 Perfection fruit make one pound. 
The above photograph well illustrates the difference in size of the Perfection over 
the best Tiltons. In weight the Perfection is just about four pounds to one of the Tilton, 
or an average of about four times the size of the Tilton. 
Size and weight is only one point in which the Perfection is superior to all known 
varieties of apricots. All other claims made for the Perfection is born out by the wonder¬ 
ful showing made in the Lincoln Wheeler Perfection trees grown at Scappoose, Ore., 
which bore a fine crop of fruit on two year trees planted in the early season of 1937, 
one year trees from the bud when planted. 
Oregon Nursery Co., Portland, Oregon Wenatchee, Wash., August 14, 1939- 
Well about my crop of Perfections; the trees were loaded more heavily than last 
year and I picked the last of them the 30th of June. Those that I packed in 15-lb. lugs, 
brought me 75c per lug, which figures $100.00 per ton. In view of the fact that $40.00 
per ton was top price for other varieties, I consider that a remarkable price.
