SUN-DRIED APRIooTs.-G. S. Brown, of
Vacaville, was in the city yesterday and
exhibited samples of sun-dried apricots,
which were very fine. He states that they
are worth II cents per pound dried, but that
even that price does not equal what they
brought green this season, as it takes from
five 10 six pounds of the green fruit to
make one when dried. The best quality
will make pound of the dried fruit from
five of the green. but less choice in quality
will require six pounds. Mr.. Brown states
that the fruit dried nicely in two days,
third day being given after gathered and
placed in a shady place. This indicates
that no expensive kind of dryers are neces-
sary, as the samples shown were simply
spread upon boards, and are as tempting in
appearance as could be desired.
