Apples — Continued 
WEALTHY— Wealthy is now considered the best 
Apple of its season both for home use and in 
commercial orchards. The tree is an upright 
grower and hardy. The fruit is medium to large in 
size, and colors up to a beuatiful red; quality 
exceptionally good; will keep until January. 
MINNESOTA No. 423 —We offer a limited sup¬ 
ply of this variety for the first time. No. 423 is 
very promising as an early apple. It ripens in 
Mid-August and is a deep red of very good qual¬ 
ity. We have been watching this variety in our 
orchard for the past 8 years and we feel safe in 
recommending it at this time. It is certain to sur¬ 
pass all other early apples in Minnesota, because 
of its color and quality. Keeps better than other 
early apples. Size is medium to large and yields 
consistently. 2 year old trees: 4 to 5 ft., $1.00 
each; $9.00 per 10. 3 to 4 ft., 85c each; $7.50 
per 10. 
Crab Apples 
STRAWBERRY CRAB— An early Crab. Very 
hardy and good yielder. Used for eating raw and 
canning. 
Whitney Crab 
"SWEET RUSSET —Somewhat larger than the other 
Crab varieties. A very heavy yielder. Fruit is 
sweet and tastes very much like pear. A good 
Apple for canning. 
TRANSCENDENT —A well-known variety of 
Crab. The fruit is of the best for pickling or jelly. 
"VIRGINIA CRAB —Very hardy and vigorous 
grower, does not blight. Fruit fully as good as 
Transcendent for pickling or jelly. A prolific 
annual bearer. 
WHITNEY —This is a hybrid, but is usually con¬ 
sidered in the Crab class. Trees thrifty and upright 
in growth, an abundant yielder, ripens in August, 
fruit very high in quality. 
Pears 
Until recently the growing of Pears in the North¬ 
west has been considered impractical, but we can 
now safely recommend the following varieties as 
being hardy. Our trees are budded on Pyrus 
ussuriensis, a hardy Pear seedling that stands this 
climate. 
Pears may be planted on any good soil suitable 
for apple growing. Pruning and spraying is similar 
to that required for apples. Why not have a few 
hardy pears with your other orchard trees? 
Prices: 4 to 6 ft., $1.25 each; $11.00 per 10. 
PARKER (Minn. No. 1 )—Tree a vigorous grower, 
perfectly hardy, blight resisting. Fruit large, good 
quality and heavy producer. 
MENDEL —Tree is vigorous and is perfectly hardy. 
It is considered by many, equal to the Parker. 
CARE OF NURSERY STOCK 
When the stock is received, open the bundle in 
the shade out of the wind and, if you are not ready 
to plant immediately, heel the roots in the ground, 
soaking them well as you do. If well heeled in they 
can be kept without damage for a reasonable time. 
Ask for our free booklet on planting and care of 
nursery stock.
