The STORRS & HARRISON CO. 
Hungaria’s Best Apricot 
APRICOTS 
Apricots are delightful fruits not common to small lot or 
average orchard. It is a simple matter to obtain needed 
supply of apples, peaches and pears ; but your own bearing 
trees of the apricot, nectarine and quince are a great con¬ 
venience and add for you no little prestige among your 
neighborhood gardeners. They are not really any more 
difficult (as most people think) than are other fruit trees. 
Ripen between cherries and peaches. Should be planted on 
a northern or western exposure to prevent early blooming. 
The Russian (R) varieties are hardiest.
