Michell's Select Fruits 

Apricots 
Less is known concerning Apricot pollina- 
tion than about other fruit trees. The variety 
Early Golden has been favorably reported 
to be a self-fruiting Apricot. 
Early Golden. Orange-yellow, with faint 
blush; firm, coarse flesh. One of the best. 
Few varieties equal in lusciousness the 
fresh fruit of the Apricot. Should be 
planted more generally where there is room 
for trees. Each $3.00; doz. $33.50.

d’Angouleme if either or both of the above 
two are being planted.
