APRICOT

---

• A tree and fruit somewhat intermediate between the peach and the plum, grown largely in California and in special localities in the East.
  
• The apricot is as hardy as the peach and thrives in similar localities and under the same general cultivation and treatment, but demands very strong soil.
   
• The apricot is, as a rule, a very healthy tree in California. It is, however, subject to injury by scale insects.
