Duchess of Oldenburg 
Early. Yellow streaked with red. Flesh white and juicy. 
Medium size ag 
Duchess of Oldenburg has a taste which has made it famous. 
Although the apple is only of medium size, people who know 
apples, know that anything better than Duchess is rare. The 
shape is round, slightly longer than the diameter. It makes a 
good appearance, and the quality of the fruit will be found sur- 
prisingly uniform. 
The trees are naturally dwarf growers. The limited space 
required for roots and branches makes them 
EXCELLENT FOR FILLERS 
Naturally, you need not use them for fillers; if you wish to 
plant them permanently, place them somewhat closer than apple 
trees of regular growth and they will produce satisfactorily. 
However, it is always advisable to plant fillers in an orchard if. 
the full benefit of the ground is to be obtained, and we strongly 
recommend this tree for the purpose. Duchess has long been one 
of the most important varieties of apples grown north of the 
Mason and Dixon Line. 
A MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE 
in addition to its other virtues. is its extreme hardiness. With 
the exception of a small number, each variety of apples seems to 
prefer climatic and soil conditions of a certain kind, and a num- 
ber of varieties are not well adapted to extremely cold winters. 
Oldenburg will be found quite satisfactory in this respect, as it 
is one of a few which are able to endure the climate of Iowa, 
Minnesota and Montana.
