Hardy Apples 
Plant Now for Orchard Profits 
The thinking man will plant apples now,— 
for there has been a marked decrease in apple 
trees both young and bearing age in recent 
years. 
Professor W. H. Alderman of the University 
of Minnesota in a circular issued by the De¬ 
partment of Agriculture last spring says, 
“ There has been a rapid and consistent de¬ 
crease in the number of bearing apple trees in 
the United States in the period since 1910. 
The decrease amounted to 23 per cent between 
1920 and 1930, and 41 per cent between 1910 
and 1930. Trees are not being planted fast 
enough to replace the old orchards that are go¬ 
ing out. This is especially true in Minnesota 
where the ratio of bearing trees to young 
trees is five to one.” Since Professor Aider- 
man issued this statement heat and drouth 
of 1934 has taken a heavy toll and many 
“border line” trees have perished. 
Few apples bear at such an early age as 
DANIELS RED DUCHESS. The accompanying 
photo shows a small tree in one of our nursery 
rows bearing a full sized DANIELS RED DUCH¬ 
ESS apple with its characteristic even, brilliant 
red color. This habit of early bearing is one of 
the variety’s many outstanding points of superi¬ 
ority. 
The wise planter will plant now whether for home or commercial use. The experts in 
Minnesota all agree that there are good profits ahead for the properly developed orchard 
planted now. 
Think It Over! 
Daniels apple list comprises only the very best—those most widely and officially approved 
of—those really suited to the Northwest. Every one is important in its season whether it is 
Summer, Fall or Winter. 
Our trees are well grown with large roots and strong tops for their grades and, most 
important of all, propagated in a manner that makes them entirely hardy for the trying 
conditions of our severe northern climates. You will be delighted with our trees and the 
way they will grow for you.

RED DELICIOUS —Colors earlier and a far deeper red than the ordinary Delicious, of which 
this is a bud sport. Cannot be too highly praised. Large, deep luscious red—flesh of 
splendid texture and of the finest quality. One of the best winter keepers. Season Novem¬ 
ber to April. 
DANIELS RED DUCHESS— A remarkable early red ap¬ 
ple. An improved bud sport of the Duchess of Olden¬ 
burg.

The Daniels Red Duchess is an early red apple that seems des¬ 
tined to entirely displace the old Duchess of Oldenburg. It possesses 
all of the good qualities of the older variety and in addition that 
all important, price commanding quality of high red color. Coming 
as it does at a season when there is a dearth of red apples on the 
market, it has proven itself a commercial variety of exceptional 
value. 
For the past 20 years it has been under the observation of the 
staff of the Division of Horticulture at University Farm. Professor 
W. U. Alderman, Chief of the Division, says: “It is unquestionably 
the most highly colored sport of tlie Duchess of Oldenburg known 
to be in existence. I can see no reason why commercial growers 
should continue to plant Duchess when this new sport is available 
in quantities to supply the demand.’’ Recommended by the Minne¬ 
sota State Horticultural Society in place of the ordinary Duchess. 
Ever since we introduced the variety—ten years ago—it has 
proven exceedingly popular. It bears early, abundantly and regu¬ 
larly, frequently fruiting in the nursery row. For early apple 
satisfaction and profit plant Daniels Red Duchess.
