Because the New Haralson is a good looking, long 
keeping, big red apple and because it thrives in the up' 
per Mississippi Valley, wide awake planters have a 
million dollar market thrown open to them. 
Minnesota alone has been shipping in annually from 
distant states a million bushels of winter apples. Wiscorn 
sin, Northern Iowa, and the Dakotas also ship in great 
quantities. Haralson makes this trade available to local 
growers. 
HARALSON SATISFIES THE TRADE 
The market demands a good sized, red, long keeping 
apple. Haralson fully satisfies these requirements. It was 
the most attractive, oustanding apple at the annual 
Minnesota State Horticultural Fruit Exhibit this year. 
Big and Red, uniform in size and shape and a long 
keeper. It stands handling and shipping well and easily 
keeps through till spring.

HARALSON 
Big — Red — Long Keeping 
The Million Dollar Apple for a Million Dollar 
Market 
Originated and introduced by the Minnesota 
State Fruit Breeding Farm. 
Prof. W. H. Alderman, Chief, Division of 
Horticulture, University of Minnesota says of 
Haralson:—“ Its size, shape, and color are just 
right for an ideal commercial apple. The tree is 
extremely vigorous, productive and hardy. The 
branches spring at wide angles from the central 
trunk and are very strong in the crotches. The 
fruit will keep in an ordinary cellar throughout 
the winter without artificial refrigeration .” 
Haralson Makes Money for 
These Men 
D. C. Webster, LaCrescent, Minnesota, a 
veteran fruit grower and prize winner at Fruit 
Shows, got 1300 bushels of Haralson from 175 
trees. Figure that out at a conservative price of 
$1.50 per bushel! 
Jos. Hahn, Excelsior, Minnesota, says— “I set 
out some Haralson trees in the spring of 1925. 
They produced some fruit the third year and the 
crop has increased every year since then. The 
sixth year (1931) I measured the crop from one 
tree and found it was 5 1 /2 bushels. This tree was 
10 feet high at the time.” 
E. W. Gruenzner, Orchard Lake, Minn, writes: 
“As I have had wonderful success in planting your 
trees (100% growing), I am going to make up an 
order of about 50 more trees for this spring. 1 
intend to plant nothing but Haralson for I believe 
this apple solves the problem of raising winter 
apples in Minnesota. We are using the apples 
every day and they are in as perfect condition 
today, January 17th, as when picked. I think an 
orchard of Haralson apples on every farm is a 
paying investment.” 
As this catalog goes to press Haralson is selling at 
6c a pound; $2.00 a basket, with no deduction for 
long freight haul. 
HARALSON THRIVES IN COLD CLIMATE 
Haralson is rugged and hardy. It is the answer to 
years of search and effort to secure a suitable long' 
keeping apple that could thrive in our northern climate. 
From actual performance it has satisfied growers on 
this point. Freedom from fire blight is another of the 
sterling qualities of Haralson. 
BEARS EARLY AND HEAVILY 
Haralson orchard trees come into bearing quickly, 
producing a paying crop before most other varieites 
begin., We have records this year of lOyear'old trees 
producing 10 bushels to the tree. The trees are strongly 
branched and carry heavy loads without splitting down. 
YOUR OPPORTUNITY 
Haralson is a profitable tree to grow either in the 
home orchard or in a larger way for market. As a home 
apple, it can keep you supplied with an abundance of 
fine fruit from October throughout the winter and 
spring. 
As a market apple, it is without equal in this northern 
territory. It satisfies every requirement of a profitable 
commercial apple. 
PRICES ARE LOW 
We have a splendid block of true-tomame Haralson 
for distribution. Prices are low, they will be higher next 
year. Save money and gain time by planting this spring.
