EAT APPLES FOR HEALTH 
Patten’s Greening—It is grown as far north 
as the Canadian line, and in other regions where 
the winters are correspondingly severe. It is 
attractive in color for a green apple. Very good 
in quality; comes into bearing moderately young 
and is an annual cropper, yielding moderate 
to full crops. 
Specially good in North Dakota. First 
hardiness. 
Northwestern Greening—Winter, very at¬ 
tractive in color. Is valuable for the northern 
apple growing districts. Quality as a dessert 
apple is fair to good. The tree is hardy, vigorous, 
a fine erect grower, and comes into hearing rea¬ 
sonably early and as it grows older is an excep¬ 
tionally heavy cropper. Skin smooth, somewhat 
waxy, clear pale yellow or greenish, sometimes 
faintly blushed. 
Flesh tinged with yellow, crisp and firm, 
mildly sub-acid. Second hardiness. 
Perkins Apple—The fruit is large, red, and 
round as a ball. It is not an Apple for the North 
alone but one that will be welcomed anywhere, 
will take its place with eastern Baldwins, Spys, 
and Seek no Furthers. The flesh is fine grained 
and deliciously flavored, as firm in February as 
it is in October. Season, October to April.

winds, is firm, stands handling well and keeps

GURNEYS WEALTHY 
Wealthy — Season, September to January. 
This variety we consider the most valuable of 
all the market apples and for home use. The 
tree is exceptionally hardy, comes into bearing 
as early as the summer apples, producing 
immense crops annually, and we believe it is the 
most valuable apple today for the small or the 
large orchard. Fruit above medium to large; 
color, underlaid with pale yellow, blushed and 
marked with stripes and splashes of red, deep¬ 
ening in highly colored specimens or brilliant red; 
very attractive. Flesh whitish, tinged with red 
when thoroughly ripe. Moderately fine, crisp, 
tender and juicy, agreeably sub-acid; good to 
extra good. First hardiness. 5c per tree 
extra. 
CRABAPPLES FOR JELLY 
Florence—Very desirable for commercial 
planting because the tree commences bearing 
very young, is a reliable cropper and extremely 
prolific. Fruit good size, very attractive in ap¬ 
pearance and good quality. Color, yellowish 
white overspread with brilliant pinkish red. 
Flesh tinged with yellow, crisp, tender, juicy, 
very brisk sub-acid; good. August and early 
September. First hardiness. 
Red Flesh Crab—Introduced 1928. A most 
remarkable novelty, that is probably destined to 
world-wide popularity wherever apples are grown. 
The tree is ornamental as well as useful, the 
beautiful red flowers and moderate growth mak¬ 
ing it a very desirable lawn tree. The original 
tree gives promise of being a good annual bearer 
and bore its first two crops in 1927 and 1928. 
The fruit in size is \ 'A by inches in diameter, 
in color a brilliant solid polished dark red all 
over. The flesh is red throughout and makes 
excellent red preserves and red jelly which at¬ 
tracted favorable attention at the State College 
exhibit at the South Dakota State Fair, Huron, 
September, 1928. Season, fall. Prices: 18-30 
inch: ea. 40c; per5, $1.75; per 10, $3.25; 2y±-3 l /i 
ft.: ea. 50c; per 5,$2.25; per 10; $4.00. 
Hyslop—Season, September and October. 
Fruit large, very brilliant color, dark red or 
purplish, overspread with thick blue bloom;

and for market. First hardiness. 
Hyslop Crab 
GURNEY’S CRABAPPLES 
Whitney 
WHITNEY NO. 20 
Whitney—Season, August and September. 
One of the most popular of the large crab apples, 
particularly in the west and north; the fruit is 
attractive, yellow, striped with lively red; good 
for dessert and very good for canning. Tree is a 
thrifty, upright grower, comes into bearing very 
young. Is extremely productive. First hardi¬ 
ness. 
Dolga—Another of Professor Hansen’s. It 
is an oblong crab of real beauty and peculiar 
lemon-acid flavor — entirely different from any 
other crab and far superior to any other crab 
for jellies; producing a transparent bright-red 
jelly of high quality. 
The color is a beautiful red, solid over the 
entire fruit. The ttee is a thing of beauty at 
blooming time with its large white flowers and 
later with its ropes of large dark-red fruit. At 
a distance, when the crabs are maturing, the 
tree appears to be covered with beautiful flowers. 
The heaviest bearing crab apple we have, and 
one of the first degree of hardiness.
