The flesh is commonly less juicy than that of the peach, and, as a rule, perhaps, of higher quality. The ideal soil for the Apricot seems to be the one which is deep and dry, and of a loamy or gravelly character. The rolling, loamy lands which are well adapted to apples seem to be well suited to the Apricot, if the exposure and location are right.
