Nurseries (Horticulture), Georgia, Atlanta, Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental, Catalogs; Flowers, Seeds, Catalogs; Fruit, Catalogs. 72 W. D. Beatie, Atlanta, V APRICOTS. The season at which the Apricot ripens, between the cherry and the peach, greatly enhances its value. Besides being a beautiful and delicious fruit, it is admirably adapted to our climate, and can be protected from the curculio in the same way as the plum. In consequence of its early blooming, the fruit is liable to be killed by the frost, yet it is worthy of a place in every collection of fruit. STANDARD VARIETIES. Black, or Purple. Small to medium; round, deep purple, nearly black in the sun ; sweet, somewhat fibrous, with a pleasant, good flavor; ripens early in June. Moorpark. Large ; orange, with deep orange red cheek ; flesh free from stone; firm, juicy, rich, high flavor; ripens in June. Breda. Small ; dull orange, marked with red ; juicy, rich and vinous ; productive and hardy ; July. IMPROVED RUSSIAN VARIETIES. These have not as yet been thoroughly tested in the South, but on account of their hardiness, freedom from disease and inseet enemies, and their late blooming quali- ties, they promise to become one of our most valuable fruits, Alexander.
