Bailey’s Choice Crab Apples 
DOLGO—Fruit is oblong, of real beauty and 
peculiar lemon-acid in flavor. Entirely different 
from any other crab apple and far superior for 
jellies, producing a transparent bright red 
jelly of high quality. The fruit is distinctly 
beautiful, borne in great profusion. Dolgo is a 
beautiful lawn tree, in addition to producing 
fruit of superior quality. It is a striking thing 
to see the masses of bright red fruit clustered 
along the branches. 
STRAWBERRY—An early Crab. Very hardy 
and good yielder. Used for eating fresh and 
canning. 
SWEET RUSSET—Somewhat larger than the 
other Crab varieties. A heavy yielder. Fruit is 
green, ripening to yellow and is covered with a 
light mottling of russet, very sweet and tastes 
very much like pear. Good for canning. 
TRANSCENDENT—An old standard crab su¬ 
perior for jelly and pickling. Tree is somewhat 
susceptible to blight. 
Bailey’s Hardy 
Pears require the same soil and cultivation as 
apples. Pruning and spraying also similar. Why 
not plant a few Hardy Pears with your other 
orchard trees? 
We bud (or graft) our Pears on Pyrus ussurien- 
sis seedlings. This is a hardy root that stands our 
climate very well. This is an important feature 
which is sometimes overlooked when buying 
Pears for our northern climate. 
PARKER—This is probably our most depend¬ 
able Pear. It was recently introduced by the 
Alinnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm and has 
proven of real value. We recommend it for 
general planting in the South half of Minnesota 
and in favorable locations in Northern Minne¬ 
sota. Parker is a splendid addition to our list 
of fruits and should be planted in every orchard. 
Fruit is large, color is yellow with distinct 
blush. Flesh tender and juicy. Quality very 
good. 
MENDEL—Mendel is another hardy Pear. Tree 
is a vigorous grower and practically resistant 
to blight. Fruit is medium size and good 
quality. Color yellow. Mendel yields heavy, 
and is considered by many to be equal to 
Parker.

VIRGINIA —A very hardy and vigorous grower, 
does not blight. Fruit fully as good as Trans¬ 
cendent for pickling or jelly. A prolific annual 
bearer. 
WHITNEY—A large bright red Crab. Good for 
eating fresh and an excellent canning Crab. 
Whitney is one of the best eating apples in its 
season, and many people will eat nothing else 
while they last. Tree is perfectly hardy and a 
heavy yielder. Whitney is the best of all sweet 
Crab Apples, it ripens in August and Septem¬ 
ber and has a definite place in any commercial 
or home orchard.
