Apples for Home or Market 
NORTHERN GROWN 
Select from the list below and you can enjoy delicious tree- 
ripened fruit fresh from your own trees. These varieties are 
considered most desirable for this northern territory. Select 
some for each season. Our trees are northern grown on north¬ 
ern roots and will thrive and bear for you. A good home 
orchard will save on the grocery bills, and a commercial 
orchard of these selected varieties is a proven money-maker. 
RED DUCHESS. This is a bud sport of Duchess. It has 
all the good qualities of the old Duchess and in addition has 
this attractive bright red color. Red Duchess picked before fully 
ripe and canned makes a delicious sauce with a flavor all its 
own. Red Duchess commands a good price on the early market. 
McINTOSH RED. A red apple of very high quality. 
Adapted to planting on suitable soils in vicinity of St. Paul 
and southeast. Not recommended for prairie districts in west¬ 
ern Minnesota. Keeps till January. 
NORTHWESTERN GREENING. Fruit very large, 
smooth and handsome; green turning yellow as it matures; 
flesh firm and sub-acid. This apple is in good demand as a 
cooking apple in late winter and spring. A good commercial 
variety in the southeast third of Minnesota, south of St. Paul, 
and similar territory, but it should be planted very sparingly 
north of that latitude. Season, December to March. 
WEALTHY. Few apples that we can grow excel the 
Wealthy in quality and appearance, being bright red over 
most of the surface, of large size with juicy, sprightly flavor. 
This has been the leading commercial apple in the south half 
of Minnesota and is quite generally planted somewhat north 
of the latitude of Duluth. It is safe to say that the Wealthy 
has in the past made more money for Minnesota apple growers 
than any other variety grown. Season, September to January. 
DOLGO. The Perfect Crab. Hardy everywhere; usually 
begins bearing the year after setting. Dolgo is a heavy bearer. 
The fruit is strikingly attractive. It jells perfectly—even when 
dead ripe. Dolgo is free from blight and it is rapidly displacing 
the old varieties like Transcendent and Hyslop. Dolgo makes a 
very beautiful lawn tree and can be used on the grounds in¬ 
stead of the Mountain Ash. It is a more beautiful tree besides 
being useful. 
WHITNEY. A large red mild-flavored Crab, excellent for 
eating and canning and pickles. Perfectly hardy, never blights, 
and is a heavy cropper. 
Patten Pear. 
NEW HARDY PEARS 
This delicious fruit is a welcome addition to the gardens of 
the North. These new Pears listed below are the result of 
years of persistent effort to develop Pears for this northern 
territory. The striking exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair of 
these fine Pears grown in Minnesota was a surprise and de¬ 
light to many people. Many trees will be planted this spring— 
the supply is limited. Send your order in early. 
PATTEN PEAR. Stands at the head of the list. A strong, 
vigorous grower apparently free from blight. Recommended 
for climate where Wealthy apples can be grown. The fruit is 
good size, resembling Bartlett in form, very tender, juicy, and 
of good quality. Ripens in September. 
MINNESOTA No. 1 PEAR. This splendid pear, orig¬ 
inated by the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm, is considered 
the finest quality of all. It is large size, golden yellow, with 
faint blush, ripens in August. Trees bear young and heavily. 
Stock of Minnesota No. 1 Pear is very limited this year. Make 
your reservation early. 
TAIT No. 2. Originated in Canada. Father John B. Katz- 
ner, of St. John’s University, near St. Cloud, Minnesota, wrote: 
“Tait No. 2 is resistant to blight, hardy here, fruit medium 
size, yellow, good bearer and quality of fruit very good. The 
tree is a fine upright grower.”
