THE "MINNETONRA" APPLE 
THE GUARANTEED APPLE 
A MINNESOTA SCCDLING and MINNESOTA GROWN 
AS HARDY AS AN OAK. IT THRIVES AND YIELDS WHERE ALL OTHER VARIETIES FAIL. 
FRUIT VERY LARGE, COLOR RED. FLESH TENDER, CRISP, SUB ACID. THE IDEAL COOKING 
AND CHOICE DESSERT APPLE. SEASON LATE, KEEPING TWO MONTHS LONGER THAN THE 
WELL KNOWN WEALTHY. 
This apple is grown exclusively by us, owned and controlled by us, and cannot be offered by any other concern. To protect 
ourselves, each tree has our seal attached, and none are genuine without. Tested and tried for years, found to be the hardiest, 
^jQost productive of all Apples, and an Apple to plant in the Northwest. 
Grown in the "MOST NORTHERN NURSERIES IN AMERICA." 
Ipriginated near Lake Minnetonka, Minn., and original tree purchased by us some twenty 
' -rs ago, knowing at that time it was the most promising Seedling ever introduced, yet we 
it, in justice to ourselves and the fruit-growing public of the Northwest, that it was a 
tatter of business to thoroughly test this new Seedling before pushing its sale and y . 
recommending it for commerical planting. This tree has more "good, fresh blood" 
in it than any other apple in this country. Tree hardier than the Duchess, Long- 
field or Gidebn, and is, in point of fact, hardier than any variety yet introduced in 
the West or North. The truit matures full and evenly, clinging to the tree until 
lati in the season, thus rendering it possible to band-pick for market almost 
the entire crop. 
Very Small Core— Good Keeper— Blight Proof 
We have in the "Minnetonka" the apple which we have been seeking to 
place in the hands of farmers of the Northwest for twenty years. We 
have worked hard for it, testing everything which promised to be of value, 
until we can now, and without hesitation, cry "Eureka — found at last." 
fiWe were not satisfied with one or two season's testing, but followed it up 
liintil we are now sure that we have a most valuable variety, with no 
Idoubts or guess-work; and furthermore, we feel that we shall accom- 
tplish a benevolent work by propagating and placing this variety in 
hands of the farmers 
Lof the West 
'and North.
