3 APRICOTS. . 22s 
Apricot trees in the hardy, Russian varieties are strong, vigorous growers and easily 
grown. Late spring frosts sometimes get the blossoms. To help guard against this, 
plant a few trees north of your buildings or north of your windbreak, where the frost 
is slow to leave the ground in the spring. Or mulch with heavy coat of straw during 
the winter to hold frost in the ground to make late bloom. If you will do this and 
plant Russian varieties you will enjoy an abundance of delicious fruit. 
ALEXANDER—Medium in size, light orange yellow flecked with red; flesh tender, juicy, 
sweet and good. Tree hardy and vigorous grower, very productive. Season July. 
ALEX!IS—Another hardy tree and productive variety. Yellow, flesh tender and flavor 
delicious. Season July to August. 
BUDD—Medium to large; light orange with blush on sunny side; flesh sweet, juicy, with 
flavor of the peach. We consider this one of the best varieties. Season August.
