In presenting this third annual edition of the Perfection Apricot with testimonials 
from growers and others who have sampled fruit, we are pleased to note that the 
qualities set forth in the original statements are born out in the following testimonials, 
as to the hardiness of trees, hearing, color, keeping, and shipping qualities of fruit. 
We would cull the reader's attention to the following agreement of Mr. and Mrs. 
Goldheck, originators of the Perfection apricot, which speaks for itself. No other 
person, firm, or corporation is entitled to sell or offer for sale the Goldheck Perfection 
apricot unless they carry written authority by the Oregon Nursery Co. 
To Whom It May r Concern: Waterville, Wash., Sept. 13, 1935. 
This is to certify that we John Goldheck and Bertha Goldheck, husband and wife, 
the originators and owners of the seedling apricot tree to be propagated and distributed 
under the name of Perfection, have entered into a contract with the Oregon Nursery 
Co., an Oregon corporation, giving them the sole and exclusive right to propagate, sell, 
and distribute the above named Perfection Apricot trees. And no other person, firm or 
corporation has or will receive any bud or grafting wood or the right to propagate, 
sell or offer for sale trees of this new r apricot originated by us on our home place in 
Waterville, Wash.

Gentlemen: 
Enclosed find photograph of Perfection apricot fruit picked from original tree 
now in its thirtieth year which confirms my previous statement that the fruit often will 
not go into a Mason jar whole. 
I hear it said many times that young trees will produce large fruit but when the 
trees get old the fruit w ill be small.

Gentlemen: 
I planted 100 Perfection apricots the spring of 1939 and this spring 1940 some of 
the trees bore fruit of very large size. I am sure "sold” on the Perfection cot and intend 
planting all my available land to this variety.
