’ APRICOT TREES 
The Apricct is one of the most delicious fruits, and is as 
hardy as the peach and plum. Apricots have a tendency to 
bloom early, aad get nipped by late freezes and frosts. 
However, the vurieties we offer are late bloomers, and will 
usually bear a crop. Apricots seem to do better planted in 
the back yard, or somewhere where too much cultivation 
is not carried on. When they do make a crop, they make 
up for iust time. Try some.

PLUM TREES 
Next to the Peach, the Plum is the most important fruit 
for the South and Southwest. All of our plum trees are 
two years old, budded and grown on heavy, high land, and 
have a fine root system, as well as well-branched, sturdy 
tops. Most of these trees will bear the year following plant- 
ing. Our plums are grown from buds taken from clean, 
healthy trees that we know are true to name, as they have 
been bearing for years. In the varieties shown below, you 
will find varieties for all parts of the country, from Rio 
Grande Valley to the Northern part of the United States. 
If you are not certain what varieties will do the best in your 
locality, leave the selection up to us, and we will send you 
trees that will bear fruit in your locality.
