also very ornamental. 
Apricots are best adapted for planting in city gardens, or where the trees are protected by surrounding 
buildings. They are among the most delicious of fruits, and, therefore, a little extra care should be given in 
protecting the flowers from the late spring frosts. The trees, when planted in orchards, seldom last long here, 
unless protected by surrounding timber or tall-growing fruit trees, but in many sections of the Southwest this 
is one of the most desirable of orchard fruits. The period of maturity extends from the beginning of June to 
the end of July. 
The best varieties are as follows: Early Golden, Moorpark, St. Ambrose, Roman, Royal.
