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¬ 
ber that our apples are grafted and budded on the hardiest apple roots in the world, and are grown 
In North Dakota. 
WAUKON. This fine apple was introduced through our catalog 
last year, 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 nursery 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 obtained our start. It resembles the Wealthy but is 
of even better quality, and the tree is much hardier and more 
vigorous. Price each, 65c; 5, $3.00. 
WEALTHY, October to January. This variety is beyond doubt 
the most popular sort throughout the Northwest. A hardy, up¬ 
right 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 
storage. Each, 40c; 5, $1.75. 
ANOKA. The test of years is proving the Anoka to be the most 
important Apple introduction for the Great Plains that has yet 
come from the laboratory of the Northwest’s Burbank, Prof. N. 
E. Hansen. It bears often the sec- Waukon 
ond year from planting, carries 
large crops every year, is a sturdy, handsome and exceedingly hardy 
tree. The fruit is of fine flavor, early, resembling the Duchess in 
many ways. The very best for the home place under plains condi¬ 
tions. Each, 50c; 5, $2.25. 
HARALSON. a Real Winter Apple. This new sort is another one of 
the triumphs of the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Station. A strong, 
upright tree, resistant to fire blight, bears early and yet the fruit 
keeps until long into the Spring in perfect condition. Bears a good 
crop of large, handsome red Apples. Each, 50c; 5, $2.25. 
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, 40c; 5, $1.75. 
REDWING, one of the Minnesota va¬ 
rieties on specially hardy root stocks. 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, 45c; 5, $2.00. 
CHARLAMOFF. This is a Russian variety related to the Duchess. 
We are listing it after having observed it at the Dominion Ex¬ 
periment Station at Morden, Manitoba, where it is considered one 
of the very hardiest varieties. It is a trifle earlier than the 
Duchess, of very similar quality and pleasant flavor. Trees come 
into bearing young, fruit is yellow splashed with red and of good 
size. Each, 50c; 5 for $2.25. 
ERICKSON. This is one of the best of the apples of Russian origin. 
Exceptionally large in size, it is also of fine flavor. Season some- Red Wing 
what longer than that of Duchess, it is of a beautiful and uniform 
red color when fully ripe. Season Sept, to Nov. Pfice, each, 40c; 5, $1.75. 
LONGFIELD. 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, 40c; 5, $1.75. 
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, 40c; 5, $1.75. 
HICK’S EVERBEARING. This is a new variety from Plains, Montana. It is a seedling which 
an old nurseryman, Mr. Hicks, of Plains, has watched for many years on account of the great 
thriftiness, the high degree of hardiness, and the good quality of the red and yellow striped 
fruit of which a crop is borne every year. We have only a limited stock of trees grown from 
cions furnished us by Mr. Hicks. Each, 75c; 5, $3.50.
