McIntosh 
Apples —Continued 
ERICKSON—This apple was originated at Ait¬ 
kin, Minnesota, a few years ago and is proving 
a real success as an early apple. The fruit which 
ripens about the same time as the Duchess, is 
very large and a deep red in color. The quality 
cannot be surpassed in an apple of this season. 
HARALSON—This new variety, which was 
originated at the Minnesota State Fruit Breed¬ 
ing Farm a few years ago. fills a long-felt want 
among apple growers. The fruit is about the 
same size and color as Wealthy, but later in 
season of ripening. A REAL WINTER 
KEEPER. Unlike the Wealthy, the fruit hangs 
to the tree until picked. The tree grows very 
symmetrical and is perfectly hardy in Minne¬ 
sota. 
Wealthy 
McINTOSH—McIntosh has been grown for 
many years in the East, but it has just recently 
been found to be hardy in Minnesota and the 
Northwest. We have had trees fruiting for the 
past ten years in our orchards. We find them 
very satisfactory and feel safe in recommending 
McIntosh for planting in all sections except 
Northern Minnesota. It is a very attractive 
well colored apple of exceptionally high quality. 
The fruit keeps until late winter. 
NORTHWESTERN GREENING—A late win¬ 
ter Apple. The tree is a vigorous grower and 
fairly hardy. Fruit is very large, yellowish 
green, when ripe, a good pie and baking Apple. 
This illustration shows the method and depth at 
which fruit trees should be planted. When trim¬ 
ming, cut back as indicated leaving the branches 
well distributed. Trimming should be done im¬ 
mediately after setting. If your ground does not 
have ample moisture, it is advisable to water 
when planting.
