At the present time only three states in the United States are important in the production of apricots—California, Washington and Utah. Susceptibility to frost and diseases are the main causes for its limited distribution. It is very unfortunate that this wholesome fruit is not grown more widely, for it ranks very high nutritionally among fruits. The apricot contains nine times as much vitamin A as the average of eighteen other common fruits and twice as much as its nearest competitor-the nectarine. It exceeds the average of these eighteen fruits in proteins, carbohydrate, phosphorus, and niacin. However, it is slightly lower in fats, calcium, ascorbic acid, and thiamin. **
