Title: Hungary's Best Apricot
Authors: L.A. Weaver and R.M. Brooks Citation
Abstract:
Among the few fruit varieties handled by the Wayside Gardens, of Mentor, Ohio, is the apricot called 'Hungary's Best'. It was imported from Hungary many years ago by Mr.
Horvath, of rose fame.
Mr.
Horvath, who was a
personal friend of Mr.
J.J. Grullemans,
President of Wayside Gardens,
brought Hungary's Best to the United
States about 40 years ago.
He gave one
or two trees of this variety to Mr.
Grullemans, because the latter so enjoyed
its fine fruit.
Mr.
Grullemans
decided to propagate the trees; and it
has been sold by Wayside Gardens
ever since.
Although 'Hungary's Best is not suitable for commercial planting, it makes a fine small tree for the garden. L.A. Weaver (Wayside Gardens), and R.M. Brooks
