GURNEY S ANOKA 
Anoka Apple—Early bearing. Originated 
by Professor Hansen at Brookings, South 
Eiakota. This tree will bear earlier than any 
other apple. It is not unusual for the small two- 
year old trees to fruit in the nursery rows. It is 
just the tree for you people who are starting a 
new orchard. The quality is good, the season 
September, very hardy, heavy bearer arid an 
early bearer wherever tested. First degree of 
hardiness. (See inside back cover for colored 
picture). 
ANISIM 
Season, early winter. Prof. Hansen reports 
this Russian apple proving very valuable in the 
northwest; the tree is a strong grower and a 
prodigious bearer. The color of the fruit attracts 
favorable attention. Fruit medium in size; 
surface greenish yellow, covered almost wholly 
with a beautiful crimson. First hardiness. 
CHARLAMOFF 
Russian variety, high quality, early bearer, 
large fruit handsomely striped, season Sep¬ 
tember. A topnotcher for hardiness. 
DEE BEE 
The new winter apple for the North. This 
tree is named in honor of D. B. Gurney, the 
President of the House of Gurney, and is propa¬ 
gated from a Seedling Apple found growing in 
Minnesota. Is hardy, of high quality, and pro¬ 
ductive. Green overlaid with dull red, striped. 
Above medium in size, high quality, and hardy. 
Tree well formed and vigorous grower. Winter 
apple early bearer. The Dee Bee is a winner. 
First hardiness. 
GURNEY’S DELICIOUS 
This is not a new variety of Delicious but a 
direct descendant of the original apple tree that 
later had its name changed to Delicious. The 
Delicious is one of the greatest market apples 
in existence. This has been caused in part, by 
the immense amount of advertising that has 
been given it but mostly on account of its high 
quality. The fruit is large, of excellent quality, 
very fragrant and considered best. Skin, dark 
red shaded to yellow. The Delicious, originated 
in Iowa and the original tree still stands, an an¬ 
nual bearer. Second degree of hardiness. 
The Gurney improvement, in placing it on the 
hardy Pyrus Baccata root, makes it possible to 
grow and produce Delicious much farther north 
of where they have been produced previously. 
GURNEY’S IMPROVED YELLOW 
DELICIOUS 
A tree of almost first degree of hardiness and 
producing fruit earlier than the average tree. 
Fruit of the very highest quality. Large, heavy 
annual bearer. An excellent keeper, one of the 
best of the winter keepers. Second hardiness.

GURNEY’S ERIGHT RED DUCHESS 
A New Variety—A Beauty 
This new Duchess has all of the good qual¬ 
ities of the regular Duchess--hardiness, 
early, annual bearer, good for dessert or 
cooking; and, also, is the best color you ever 
saw. We have only a few of these available, 
so order early. In spite of the fact that it is 
new and exceptionally good—Gurney's offer 
them at the same price as other apples. 
First come first served. 
Duchess of Oldenburg—Early summer; is 
one of the most valuable of the Russian apples; 
it is a good size and attractive in appearance. 
The fruit ripens in succession, so that several 
pickings are required in order to secure the crop. 
This variety can be used when it is about half 
grown, and makes equally as good sauce or pie 
at that time as when thoroughly ripe, making 
the season probably the longest of any of the 
varieties grown. Color, pale greenish yellow, 
almost covered with regular splashes and stripes 
of bright red, mottled with crimson. 
Gurney’s Jonathan 
Dudley — Fruit attractive, large, bright green¬ 
ish-yellow splashed with red, good quality. Very

president of the University of Minnesota. The 
tree is large, very vigorous, productive, and 
hardy. Fruit very large, irregular, roundish, and 
attractive; color greenish-yellow with heavy 
blush; flesh medium fine grained, firm, tender, 
juicy, pleasant and slightly subacid; quality very

FRUITS 
BACCATA ROOTS 
Gurney's Early Bearing Apples 
Produced by our grafting on the Hardy 
Pyrus Baccata Roots. It is not unusual for 
Gurney’s Early Bearing Apples to produce 
fruit when only 2 years old. The 5th year 
usually shows a very good crop. 
I believe “The House of Gurney” is the 
only Nursery Company in the United 
States using this Hardy Pyrus Baccata 
Root exclusively for the propagation of 
Apples and Crabs. Why not have the best 
and take advantage of that crop 2 to 4 years 
earlier. 
HARALSON 
Haralson—Originated on the Minnesota fruit 
breeding farms and named for Mr. Haralson who 
was at that time in charge. Minnesota is pro¬ 
ducing many new fruits of fine quality that are 
designated to assist materially in the growing 
of more fruit in the Northwest. The Haralson 
is a winter apple of the first degree of hardiness; 
a good keeper and of excellent quality. It re¬ 
sembles the Wealthy apple which is pre-eminent 
in its place as a fall apple. The Haralson may 
be the winter—or the late keeping apple—with 
all of the Wealthy qualities of hardiness, early 
bearing and high quality of fruit. First hardi¬ 
ness. 
Jonathan—Early winter. It is a very beau¬ 
tiful apple, of brilliant red color, highly flavored, 
and of excellent quality for either dessert or 
culinary use. Very hardy and productive, healthy 
and vigorous, and is adapted to' a wider range 
of territory than most apples of this class. It 
is the great market apple of the west and south. 
Third hardiness. 
Malinda—This beautiful apple is one of the 
heaviest bearing, longest keeping and hardiest 
winter apple that can be grown in the North. 
The flesh is yellowish-white, firm, juicy, mildly 
sub-acid with sweet after taste. The season is 
late winter and can be kept until May. 
These trees are extremely hardy and come into 
bearing early in life, producing a full annual 
crop. It is considered the best of the first hardi¬ 
ness winter apples. First hardiness. 
McIntosh red 
Season, September to January. The fruit is 
very attractive in appearance, of. bright, deep 
red color, and good size. The flesh is very tender, 
perfumed and delicious. Thi^ is another of the 
great market apples. Thousands of acres of 
these are being planted and are proving the most 
profitable of any of the,orchard trees, especially 
in the west. Exceptionally heavy bearer at an 
early age. Second hardiness. 
Many people place this as the-highest quality 
apple grown. You ca’n grow it.
