APRICOTS 
The Apricot is one of the most delicious fruits, and is as hardy as the Peach and Plum. Apricots 
have a tendency to bloom early, and get nipped by late freezes and frosts. Apricots seem to do better 
where too much cultivation is not carried on. Once they do make a crop, the supply is plentiful. 
Plant Apricots 18 feet apart, or 131 trees to the acre. Bearing-size trees, 5-6’ tall, with cailper at 
base of tree 14,” and up. PRICES: $1.50 each; 10 for $12.95; 100 for $110.00.

this fruit should be planted extensively. Certain varieties have a wider range of adaptability than 
others. Assistance will gladly be given in the selection of varieties when desired. Plant Cherries 18 
feet apart or 131 trees to the acre. Bearing-Size trees, 4’ tall, with caliper at base of tree 144g” and

PEARS 
We cannot recommend too strongly the advisability of planting Pears for both home and commer- 
cial orchards. By exercising care in choosing varieties, there is hardly a section in the Southwest 
that cannot have an abundance of this fine fruit. For example, the Keiffer is at home in practically 
all the soils and climates. Select varieties that will give you fruit for eating, canning, and preserving from 
‘July until October. Plant Pears 40 feet apart, or 27 trees to the acre. Bearing-Size trees, 5-6’ tall,
