APRICOTS The Apricot is one of the most delightful luscious fruits grown, when eaten fully ripe and fresh from the tree. It is remarkable that such a rich and beautiful, golden, sweet fruit is not planted more, especially since it ripens just after the early Cherries and before the best early Peaches. . ui u ALEXANDER.

This variety deserves greater popularity. The best. EARLY GOLDEN. Pole orange, juicy and sweet. Is a hard\ prolific bearer; ripens first of July. SUPERB. Very good quality.

Large, freestone; flesh yellow, sweet, juicy. Good for canning or drying. Dwarf type, medium size tree. ^^ APRICOTS CAN BE GROWN ANYWHERE PEACHES SUCCEED ) NECTARINES / Delicious for Eating There is a mistaken idea that the Nectarine is a cross be- tween the Peach and something else, while it is really nothing more or less than a smooth-skinned Peach. The melting, juicy texture of the Nectarine and its delicious flavor furnishes one of the most delightful fruits for eating during the summer. Plant a few trees in your home orchard this year.
