DUCHESS OF OLDENBURG APPLE 
SPECIAL LIST NO. I 
Extra-Hardy Apples. In the northern part of the United States, a per.son who wi.shes to succeed 
with Apples must plant the extra-hardy varieties. For many years there were but one or two sorts 
which could be grown to advantage in the extreme North. The introduction of Russian varieties 
and northern seedling.s, however, has given us quite a list of Apples which will thrive and bear abun- 
dantly in any section that is visited by our salesmen. We recommend especially the following kinds: 
Yellow Transparent. July and August. Wolf River. January and February. 
Duchess of Oldenburg. September. Longfield. January to March. 
Wealthy. November and December. Pewaukee. January to April. 
Mcintosh Red. November to January. Wismer's Dessert. January to March. 
Peerless. December to March. Ben Davis. December to March.
