Apples for Home or Market 
NORTHERN GROWN 
Select from the list below and you can enjoy deli' 
cious 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 northern 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 dis¬ 
tricts in western Minnesota. Keeps till January. 
NORTHWESTERN GREENING. Fruit very large, 
smooth and handsome; green turning yellow as it ma- 
tures; 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, spright' 
ly 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 vari' 
etities like Transcendent and Hyslop. Dolgo makes a very beau- 
tiful lawn tree and can be used on the grounds instead of the 
Mountain Ash. It is a more beautiful tree besides being useful. 
WHITNEY. A large red mild'flavored Crab, excellent for eat- 
ing and canning and pickles. Perfectly hardy, never blights, and 
is a heavy cropper. 
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 per' 
sistent effort to develop Pears for this northern territory. The strik' 
ing exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair of these fine Pears grown in 
Minnesota was a surprise and delight 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. 
PARKER PEAR (Minn. No. 1). This splendid pear, originated 
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 Min' 
nesota No. 1 Pear is very limited this year. Make your reserva' 
tion early. 
TAIT PEAR. Originated in Canada. Father John B. Katzner, 
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.”
