Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Better Fruit, Vol. 14: July, 1919 June, 1920
In general apricot trees are hardy, making a heavy growth and bearing early. The third season after planting a crop of commercial importance is frequently harvested. Thus, there is not the uneasiness experienced in the case of this fruit as with many other fruits during a number of years while the young trees are making their growth and before any fruit is borne to help pay expenses.
One characteristic of the tree which localizes its planting to a certain extent is the early blooming habit. This fruit comes into bloom shortly after the almond, which is the earliest bloomer of all our common fruits. It is there fore necessary to select localities that are free from spring frosts, in order that the blossoms may not be injured by same.
