Apricots --- Persimmons 
HARDY NORTHERN APRICOTS 
Both High Quality Fruits 
Should be More Generally Planted 
Few Fruits Have Such Delectable Flavor 
In early spring the trees are a mass of Pinkish 
White Blossoms, and are most colorful. In home 
plantings, the trees are more protected and thereby 
| are less subject to frost damage. 
An old English variety and is prob- 
Moorpark ably the most widely grown of all 
Apricots. The fruits are of the largest size, handsome 
appearance and have long been the standard of excel- 
lence in both appearance and quality. 
\ This Apricot has been 
Hardy Northern grown in Michigan for a 
number of years and has proven fruitful even under 
their northern winter conditions. We are of the 
opinion that it is of the Hungarian type. The fruits 
are of good size, juicy and of highest quality. A good 
companion for Moorpark.

‘ Apple 
Shadblow 
A natural June- 
berry hybrid. Char- 
acterized by its pro- 
fuseness of bloom 
and fruits. In July 
the clusters of pur- 
plish red_ berries 
cause it to resemble 
a Cherry tree laden 
with fruits. The 
mild fruits are for 
all-around use either 
alone or mixed with 
the more tart fruits 
such as Currants, 
Gooseberries, etc.

one of the qualities most desired is to se- 
cure seedless fruits. Miles has as few seeds 
as any to date. The quality is excellent; 
the tree is very prolific and quite ornamen- 
tal. Plant trees of both Dr. Spencer and 
Miles Seedless for proper pollenization. 
Persimmon Trees are what are bo- 
tanically known as ‘“Dioecious,”’ i.e. 
some are male and some are female 
trees. We recommend planting one of 
the budded male varieties in close prox- 
imity to any planting of Spencer or 
Miles.
