IN PLANTING MAY'S Minnetonka Apple you have the guaranteed 
assurance of its living and thriving, and producing a full bushel of 
fruit to the tree. The experimental stage of the Minnetonka was long 
since passed, as the following testimonials of growers will show, many 
hundreds of which could be given here and "the half would not be told."

proud of the result. Have you them in stock now.' Will you

Dear Sirs: — I wish to say that 
Minnetonka Apple. Out of nine 
alive and doing finely. Was obi 
heavy for the trees. Was forced 
there was still plenty fruit left, 
bought trees, but think they are 
LeSueur, Minn. 
I have nothing but praise for the 
trees purchased of you, seven are 
ged to thin out fruit as it was too 
to pick ten bushels of apples and 
Do not remember just when I 
eight or nine years old.

Gentlemen: — I have two of the Minnetonka Apple, which came 
from your nursery some five years ago, and I am well pleased with 
the same. They take no blight, are as hardy as a native oak and 
arc an excellent bearer. I am going to get some more of them.

My Dear Sirs: — I received your letter some time ago. I have 
some of those Minnetonka Apples growing here in my yard, and 
they are the finest trees in the country. They are loaded every 
year and I have been talking them up to everjone that is inter- 
ested in fruit. I had two men here this morning looking at them, 
and now I want to know what you can deliver one thousand 
Minnetonka Trees here for this fall.

Gentlemen: — I bought a lot of trees from your nursery four 
years ago and they are all bearing in fine shape. This season the 
Klinnetonka Apple and the Vladimir Cherry take the cake of all 
the trees I have seen. When I buy again, I will not buy from any 
other nursery. I am more than pleased with my trees. 
Yours truly,

Gentlemen: — Some five years ago my father bought one-half 
dozen of Minnetonka Apple Trees from your nurseiy and they are 
all fine trees and bear excellent; also, there is no blight on them 
nor ever has been. I advise my neighboring farmers to always 
buy the best nursery stock. In the Minnetonka Trees we have 
the best bearer of any apple tree that I have seen. It is a heal 
and No. I tree — and no farmer will regret it if they buy it.
