IS THE CANNERS' FAVORITE 19. Blenheim Hemskirke The Hemskirke Apricot is of English origin, similar to the Moorpark in appearance but the tree is a much better bearer. The fruit is large and inclined to be rather flat on both sides. The skin is an orange color, presenting a red cheek when fully ripe. The flesh is a bright orange, tender and juicy, with a rich plum-like flavor. The pruning of the Hemskirke Apricot tree is in a large measure responsi- ble for its production. Much better results are obtained when the trees are merely thinned out so as to admit air and sunshine. They should not be heav- ily pruned. On account of its large size and fine quality it is highly appreciated in the local markets and by home orchardists. Ripens the latter part of June. Large Early Montgamet This variety is of French origin and the tree 6 * 6 is easily distinguished from other varieties of apricots by its weeping tendency. It is a free and abundant bearer and is regarded in some sections as one of the very best of the early varieties. The fruit is large, rather flat in shape, and deep golden in color. Flesh is orange colored, rich and juicy. Sections most adapted for the planting of this variety are the central coast, interior valley, and foothill regions. We would especially recommend its planting by all parties wishing an early apricot in their family orchard as well as those who dispose of their fruit through local markets. While it has not been as largely planted as some of the other early varieties, we believe it is one of the best early apricots. Ripens early June. Moorpark Originated in England; is one of the largest apricots grown and ^ while it does not bear regularly in all sections it is a decided
