New Early Apple 
MINNESOTA No. 423 
Here is a new and very outstanding apple, 
which we are offering to planters for the first 
time this spring. It was originated by the Min¬ 
nesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. This new 
apple is rapidly gaining recognition on ac¬ 
count of very definite points of superiority 
over older varieties in general cultivation. 
Prof. W. H. Alderman, Chief, Division of 
Horticulture, University of Minnesota, says: 
‘"Minnesota No. 423 is a fall apple ripening 
with, or a few days later than Duchess, and 
will keep for a month after harvest even with¬ 
out cold storage facilities. It is a highly color¬ 
ed, all-red variety—better quality for eating 
than Duchess, and is an excellent cooking ap¬ 
ple. The tree is vigorous, productive, and very 
hardy.” 
We feel this new apple is very superior to other late summer and early fall apples. As observed 
in trial orchards it has proven to be perfectly hardy and a heavy cropper. The fruit is very uniform 
in size and shape, and colors up a fine even all-over red. 
Its splendid quality and appearance—uniform size—and good handling qualities are sure to make 
it a valuable apple for home use or for early market. It has a definite place on the market before 
such varieties as Wealthy, McIntosh, or Haralson are fit to use. Minnesota No. 423 apples brought 
$2.00 per bushel on the Minneapolis market when best Duchess were selling at 75c a bushel. 
We have a rather limited number of trees available this year so suggest early reservations.

New Late Apple MINNESOTA No. 1007 
Here is another new apple we are offering for the first time this year. This was also originated at 
the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. 
Of this apple Prof. Alderman says: “Minnesota No. 1007 is a very promising late winter apple. 
It has attractive red color; high quality, 
is productive, and hangs to the tree 
well.” 
This characteristic of hanging to the 
tree is extremely important as was dem¬ 
onstrated very forcibly this past season 
when hard winds at harvest time caused 
a heavy “dropping”, particularly with 
varieties like McIntosh. 
Since this No. 1007 is a good keeper 
and is so much better quality than Wine- 
sap and others on the market after 
Christmas, it is expected to become 
widely planted for home and for com¬ 
mercial trade. 
Our stock of No. 1007 is quite limited 
this year. It would be well to make early 
reservation of what you would like to 
plant.
