Perfection Apricot trees in Lincoln Wheeler’s orchard at Scappoose Oregon. This 
was a one year old tree from the bud planted in the spring season of 1937, and photo¬ 
graphed in July 1939, which illustrates the early and prolific bearing of this peer of all 
apricots. When it is considered that the Willamette Valley, Oregon has not heretofore 
been a successful bearing Apricot section, it will be understood that the Perfection is 
not only adapted to the higher and colder sections, like Waterville, Washington, where 
it originated, but is proving a success in the lower valleys. Now the great Willamette 
Valley may plant Perfection Apricots with the assurance of successful fruitage.

Gentlemen: We have been wanting to let you know about our Perfection apricot 
orchard. The trees have grown beautifully. This year they have made a growth of 
about 30 inches. The fruit on the trees was much larger than the average apricot in 
this locality. They were truly exceptional as to size, uniformity, and flavor. Our 
personal opinion of the fruit was that it was delicious in flavor, very juicy, and had 
a very nice texture.
