DOLGO CRAB —Dolgo is generally conceded 
to be the most beautiful of all apple trees. 
It is heavily laden with large white flowers 
at blossom time, and later the brilliant red 
fruit is borne freely in beautiful rope-like 
clusters, among dense foliage of vivid, 
dark green. The fruit is oblong in shape, 
of rare beauty and has a very unusual lem¬ 
on-like flavor. Ear superior to other crabs 
for jellies, producing a transparent bright 
red jelly of high quality. Will jell even 
when dead ripe. In praising Dolgo the 
Country Gentleman says: “This variety is 
the most striking in appearance of any of 
the newer crabs tested at the Ohio sta¬ 
tion. ” When in full bloom the tree is 
very decorative, and again in early fall 
when the fruit is ripening the high red 
color of the fruit makes this tree worth 
while just for ornamental purposes. The 
quality of the fruit for jelly and preserves 
is excellent. 
HARALSON —At last you can have a hardy 
red apple of fine quality that is a real win¬ 
ter apple. Haralson is Minnesota’s only 
hardy, high quality, red, winter eating ap¬ 
ple that will keep until late spring in ordi¬ 
nary storage. It has been correctly called 
the Northwest’s best winter apple. 
The tree is an upright grower with strong, wide 
angle crotch and branching system. It is a vig¬ 
orous tree, very productive and resistant to fire 
blight. The fruit is about the size of a Wealthy, 
is borne at an early age, and hangs onto the tree 
until picked. The fruit is an attractive red in 
color and good in quality. Entirely hardy. No 
home or commercial orchard is complete without 
Haralson. Season January to April. 
Minnesota Station Bulletin No. 230 in describ¬ 
ing this variety says: 
“It leaves nothing to he desired as a cooking 
apple and is a pleasant dessert fruit during the mid¬ 
dle and late winterHaralson is now generally 
accepted as the Northwest’s best Hardy, red winter 
apple. Plant it freely. 
McINTOSH —One of the finest apples grown. 
Because of its brilliant deep red color, deli¬ 
cate flavor, crisp snow-white flesh and dis¬ 
tinct pleasant aroma, it is considered by 
most to be the finest dessert apple there is. 
McIntosh has proven eminently successful 
throughout the Southern part of the state 
and is at present one of the Northwest’s 
most popular varieties. Season October to 
January. 
NORTHWEST GREENING— The best and 
longest keeping of the greenings. A splen¬ 
didly formed, bright green fruit. Should

storage, they keep well all winter and in a 
good vegetable cellar sometimes on into 
the summer. Unexcelled as a cooking ap¬ 
ple. One of the leading and most profit¬ 
able commercial varieties in the southern 
part of Minnesota.
