Hardy Apple Trees 
Apples aiul Crabs are 3 to 4 ft., young and bushy stock. Smaller sizes used for mailing. 
All authorities on Great Plains Horticulture recommend planting only young stock such as we offer 
because it establishes itself much more quickly and easily and there is likely to be less loss. Remem- 
t>ei* our apples *ire grafted und budded on the hardiest apple roots in the world* mid are crown 
in North Dakota.

Hardy apple stock is very scarce this year and our supply of stock 
that tve care to offer is very limited. 
ANOKA. The test of years is proving the Anoka to be the most im¬ 
portant Apple introduction for the Great Plains that has yet come 
from the laboratory of Prof. N. E. Hansen. It bears often the sec¬ 
ond year from planting, carries large crops every year, is a sturdy, 
handsome and exceedingly hardy tree. Fruit is of fine flavor, 
early, resembling the Duchess in many ways. The very best for 
the home place under plains conditions. Each, 85c. 
ALKON. This fine apple was introduced through our catalog, 
and the more we see of it the better we think of it. We feel that 
it is an outstanding variety for the Northwest. Even in the nurs¬ 
ery row it is noticeable for its thriftiness and vigor as well as 
hardiness. This is a seedling grown by Mr. Sykes of Moorhead, 
Minn., and taken up and grown by 
Prof. Yeager from whom we ob¬ 
tained our start. It resembles the 
Wealthy but is of even better qual- 
I ity, and the tree is much hardier 
and more vigorous. Price each, 90c. 
i HARALSON. A Real Winter Apple. 
This new sort is another one of the 
triumphs of the Minnesota Fruit 
Breeding Station. A strong,. up¬ 
right tree, resistant to fire blight, 
bears early and yet the fruit keeps 
until long into the Spring in per¬ 
fect condition. Bears a good crop 
of large, handsome red Apples. 
Each, 80c. 
Proper Bush Form for 
/ Apple Trees. 
WEALTHY. October to January. This variety is beyond doubt the 
most popular sort throughout the Northwest. A hardy, upright 
grower and a very abundant bearer. The fruit is large and dark 
crimson in color. The flesh is crisp and sub-acid, white tinged 
with red. A fine eating Apple and one that keeps well in stor- 
\ age. Each, 80c. 
DUCHESS. August to September. A standard early commercial 
variety and the best known of all the Russian Apples. It is very 
hardy, free from blight, and an early and prolific bearer. The 
fruit is large, yellow with red stripes, very tender and juicy. Each, 80c. 
^~RED WING. One of the Minnesota varieties on specially hardy root stocks. 
Anoka Apple. 
Waukon Apple* 
A very hardy and 
blight-free sort, has lived some twelve years and borne in Manitoba. Of sturdy habit and 
handsome appearance. Fruit is medium to large in size, of wonderful keeping qualities, so 
that it fills the long-felt want in the Northwest of an entirely hardy Winter Apple of good 
quality. Fruit hangs to tree well, is beautiful in appearance, with firm, fine grained, juicy flesh. 
\ Each, 80c. 
ERICKSON. This is one of the best of the apples of Russian 
origin. Exceptionally large in size, it is also of fine flavor. 
Season somewhat longer than that of Duchess, it is of a beau¬ 
tiful and uniform red color when fully ripe. Season Sept, to 
Nov. Price, each, 80c. 
'"-LGNGFIELD. Another Russian apple of great hardiness and 
perhaps the finest eating quality of any of the type. A small 
tree, exceptionally hardy, and productive. Color yellow with 
\ red blush. Primarily an early apple for home use. Each, 85c. 
PATTEN’S GREENING. February to March. A seedling of the 
Duchess, very hardy, vigorous and free from blight. The fruit 
is large, yellow and keeps remarkably well. One of the best 
all-around varieties for the Northwest. A good eating and 
cooking apple. Each, 80c. 
Young Apples at Our Nursery. 
I met Oscar H. Will in 1881. He showed me his 5 acre garden. I have 
used Will’s seeds for 45 years at different times and I grew my own seeds 
from Will’s seeds for 15 years straight. I raised Will’s S'ugar Watermelon 
without a failure. Your seeds have been okay.
