Gentlemen: 
We were surprised this year to find another merit in the Perfection apricot, which 
was that the blossoming period was so extended it gave us a nice convenient picking 
range. 
The size and quality was just as unusually fine as ever. 
Yours truly, 
Lincoln Wheeler

LARGE APRICOTS GROWN 
Apricots grown by Pete Glavanoff, brought to the Statesman office Monday after¬ 
noon, could easily have been taken for peaches, they were that large. Mr. Glavanoff 
planted 100 Perfection variety trees three years ago in his orchard north of Boise, near 
the foot hills. Right now the trees are heavy with fruit; picking will begin Tuesday. 
Four of the apricots weigh a pound, said Glavanoff.
