Varieties of the Apricot. 211. Blenheim Apricot, Grown in University Orchard. Large Early Mojitgamet.—Large, orange yellow, reddish on sunnyi side, firm. I Oullift's Early.—Early form of Peach apricot, large size, delicious flavor. Ripens in Amador County four weeks earlier than Peach. Luizet.—Large, oval, distinct suture, one side higher than the other; orange with crimson cheek; flesh deep yellow, firm, rich. Especially approved in the upper San Joaquin. Blenhebn or Shipley.—This is a valuable variety in this State and seems to surpass Downing's description both in vigor of tree and size of fruit. John Rock modifies Downing's description to suit California experience with this variety, as follows: "A very good variety, above medium, oval; orange, with a deep yellow, juicy, and tolerably rich flesh; vigorous grower and regular, prolific ; This agrees perfectly with the behavior of the variety in the University orchard at Berkeley, where it is the best of twenty varieties. It is not reported so constant a bearer in some other parts of the State. Fruit runs a little larger than the Royal, and is usually better distributed on the tree, but it must be well thinned. This variety has been approved by canners. Ripens a little later than the Royal. Early Moorpark—Very popular in southern California, where its iden- tity has been long m dispute, and is not yet fully determined. The Early Moorpark of Thomas Hogg is as follows: Roundish, inclining to oval, with very deep suture on one side, extending from base to apex. Skin yel- low, mottled, and dotted with crimson on the exposed side. Flesh in all respects resembling Moorpark. Stone oblong, with a covered channel along the back, which is pervious. Kernel bitter. Ripens three weeks earlier than Moorpark. S
