Fruit Trees and Plants 
Success with fruits under Wyoming conditions is 
somewhat variable. In some localities, variety may be 
limited to only the hardy crab apples, gooseberries, 
and currants. On the oth.er hand, a number of varie¬ 
ties can be grown (some commercially) in the lower 
altitudes and protected valleys. As a guide for select¬ 
ing varieties to meet your growing conditions, we 
suggest them in order of hardiness as follows: 
Group 1, for difficult climate: Crab apples, Goose¬ 
berries, Currants, Garden roots. Group II, in addition 
to Group I we add Yellow Transparent, Wealthy, 
Cortland, McIntosh, N. W. Gr.eening and Sheriff var¬ 
ieties of apples; Beta grape. Group III: We here 
add Plums in variety, Cherries, other varieties of 
Apples, Strawberries, Raspberries and Early Grapes 
(the last two should be covered during winter.)

dium size, deep red, good fla¬

splendid early cooking and eating apple; medium to 
large, pale yellow fruit. Hardy, bears young.

fruit small to medium, striped red and green, fine

Fall Varieties 
ANOKA. New. Prof. N. E. Hansen, plant genius 
of Minnesota and originator of this variety says, 
"The Anoka is without a doubt the earliest and 
heaviest bearing apple grown today.” This remark¬ 
able variety bears on one year wood, and often bears 
the second year after planting. Fruit is large, good 
flavor; color red striped over yellow. Add 10c per 
tree.

Winter Varieties 
BLACK BEN. Solid deep red, late keeping var¬ 
iety; one of the most dependable commercial varie¬ 
ties; unexcelled for pies. 
CORTLAND. New. Beautiful red apple of Mc¬ 
Intosh parentage, excellent quality, good keeper; 
dessert or cooking. 
DARK RED DELICIOUS. Often referred to as 
Double Red. A much improved Delicious, turning 
completely red before it is rip.e. Otherwise it has 
the same fine flavor of Common Delicious. 
YELLOW DELICIOUS. This beautiful yellow ap¬ 
ple is a bright golden yellow, sweetly acid flavor, 
and commands high market prices. This variety is 
a good bearer, beginning at early age.
