Specialties and Novelties 
New and Rare Varieties of Much Promise 
APPLES 
Wild Red Crab. A hybrid of the wild crab and cultivated apple. Fruit is as 
large as Whitney, red nearly all over, and keeps the year 'round. It has the aroma 
and flavor of the wild crab which makes it just the thing for people who like 
sauce of the wild crab, as they are so much larger. The tree is far the most 
vigorous of any apple tree we ever grew, is very easy to transplant, makes a beauti- 
ful symmetrical tree, and is a regular and very young bearer. 
5 to 7 feet trees 40c each; 4 to 5 feet trees 30c each. 
Mammoth Grimes Golden. A very large strain of Grimes Golden; found in 
Southern Iowa in an orchard with several trees of common Grimes Golden. These 
are exactly like the regular Grimes in color, form, quality and season, but are 
very much larger. They run as large as full sized Northwestern Greenings year 
after year. We have a limited quantity of these in 2-year old tops.' 75 cents. 
CHERRIES 
Homer. Fruit large, dark red, and good; ripening about the same time as 
Richmond. This is claimed to be one of th; very hardiest of the cherries and has 
been grown in Minnesota for many years where other varieties are too tender. 
5 to 7 feet 50c each; 4 to 5 feet 40c each. 
Timme. One of the most promising new cherries. Fruit large, rich and meaty; 
very hardy and prolific. Ripens with Richmond but is more productive. Pro- 
nounced by those who have it to be the best variety for eating off the tree or for 
canning. 
5 to 6 feet 50c each; 4 to 5 feet 40c each. 
Yellow Glass. See description under Sweet Cherries. The only sweet cherry 
tested here which has been satisfactory.
