THE BROOKS APRICOT 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 498) 
The Brooks Apricot is propagated and controlled exclusively by The Lafayette 
Nursery Co., Lafayette, Oregon, and sold only under specified contract conditions. 
The Brooks excells other varieties for size, fineness of texture, flavor, appearance 
and keeping qualities. The flesh is very firm, heavy in sugar content and possesses a 
delicious flavor. 
The Brooks Apricot is without a peer for shipping, canning or drying, and has 
proven to be one of the most valuable commercial varieties. 
The Brooks apricot ripens evenly, and from the outside in, instead of ripening from 
the inside out as do most other varieties. 
The color is a golden orange, suffused with a tinge of red, blending into a blush red 
cheek. Its beautiful color combined with its immense size makes it the most attractive 
in appearance of any variety. 
The trees are very hardy but normal growers and come into bearing at an early 
age, producing consistent heavy crops. 
Season of Ripening: The Brooks Apricot is one of the first to ripen. The earliness 
of the fruit and its superior size, quality and appearance commands a Premium Price 
and Larger Profits. | 
Shipping Qualities: The flesh of the Brooks Apricot is unusually firm. The fruit is 
especially adaptable to long distance shipment or trucking and has proven to hold up 
better than any other known variety of apricot.
