F25. Golden Giant origi- 
nated in the orchard of Dave 
Moore, Grand Junction, 
the famous fruit section of 
western Colorado. Several years ago Dave planted some of 
our Sungold peaches. Five years ago he wrote us that we had 
the best peach in America but he had the best apricot. We 
immediately went out there and every year since we have 
visited with Dave and his fine family. 
The true story of Golden Giant, its tremendous annual crops, 
its huge size, its marvelous flavor and sweetness, its rich 
color, its shipping quality, its hardiness and vigor, calls for a 
Shakespeare. We can simply tell you that the size is immense, 
2 inches across and more than 2 inches long. The color is a 
golden orange with light blush. It is the finest apricot we 
ever ate, the sweetest, most delicious flavor. Moreover even 
if picked fairly green it develops this fine flavor where other 
apricots taste insipid when picked green. It makes the finest 
sauce and preserves you ever tasted and is extra fine for 
F26 Superb—This fine variety originated in Kansas and has been 
largely planted in the middle west. Hardy, productive. Fruit is 
medium large, orange-yellow, flesh firm, high quality. Fine for 
eating, sauce, preserves and pies. 
F23 Perfection—The fruit is large, beautiful and delicious. It 
ripens evenly and is a good keeper. Flesh is firm so that even if 
picked nearly ripe, it can be shipped. Hardy, vigorous grower, 
heavy bearer. 

freezing. If you selected the 
largest fruits, you could hardly 
get 6in a quart jar. The flesh 
is a rich golden color, so tender 
and sweet and absolutely 
stringless. Free-stone, of 
course, but we think the flavor is even richer if 
canned with the pits in. 
Golden Giant is a heavy, annual bearer, never 
missing a crop at Grand Junction except one year when it 
froze while the fruit was marble size. Dave says that it is 
more frost resistant because it has borne when other varieties 
failed (and Dave has many kinds in his orchard).
