Daniels Red Duchess 
Bears Even in the Nursery Row 
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. 
DANIEL/ IWDY APPIIS 
Apples—famed for health giving qualities—dear to the hearts of all who 
as youngsters have grown up with fruiting apple trees in their “play realm,” 
beautiful as ornamental trees, productive of delicious food of high economic 
value, endeared to the housewife because of the various culinary adaptions, 
hardy and easy to grow! It is easy to see why the apple is the favorite and 
most widely planted of all fruit trees. 
Daniels’ apple list comprises only the very best—those most widely and of¬ 
ficially approved of—those really suited to the Northwest. Every one is im¬ 
portant in its season, whether it be summer, fall or winter.

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. H. Alderman, Chief of the Division, says: ‘‘It is unquestionably 
the most highly colored sport of the 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. 
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 be desired as a cooking 
apple and is a pleasant dessert fruit during the mid¬ 
dle and late winter." Haralson is now generally 
accepted as the Northwest’s best Hardy, red winter 
apple. Plant it freely. 
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 te.xture and of the finest quality. One of the best winter keepers. Season Novem¬ 
ber to April. 
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.
