HARDY APPLE TREES 
Apples and Crabs are 3 to 4 ft., youiiR- and 
bushy stock. Smaller sizes used for mailing;. 
All authorities on Great Plains Horticulture 
recommend planting only young stock such as 
we offer because it establishes itself much more 
quickly and easily and there is likely to be less 
loss. Remember that our apples are grafted and 
budded on the hardiest apple roots in the world. 
BEACON. This was formerly known as Minn. 
No. 423 and is a product of the Minnesota 
Fruit Breeding Station. It is a fall apple 
of longer season and better than the 
Duchess. A beautiful dark red in color. 
Price, each, 80c; 5 for $3.75. 
ANOKA. The test of years is proving the 
Anoka to be the most important Apple in¬ 
troduction for the Great Plains that has yet 
come from the laboratory of Prof. N. E. 
Hansen. It bears often the second year 
from planting, carries large crops every 
year, is a sturdy, handsome and exceed¬ 
ingly hardy tree. Fruit is of fine flavor, 
early, resembling the Duchess in many 
ways. The very best for the home place 
under plains conditions. Each, 70c; 5 for 
$3.2o. 
HARALSON. A Real Winter Apple. This new 
sort is another one of the triumphs of the 
Minnesota Fruit Breeding Station. A 
strong, upright tree, resistant to fire blight, 
bears early and yet the 
fruit keeps until long into 
the Spring in perfect con¬ 
dition. Bears a good crop 
of large, handsome red Ap¬ 
ples. Each 70c; 5 for $3.25. 
WEALTHY. October to Jan¬ 
uary. This variety is be¬ 
yond doubt the most popu¬ 
lar sort throughout the 
Northwest. A hardy, up¬ 
right grower and a very 
abundant bearer. The fruit 
is large and dark crimson 
in color. The flesh is crisp 
and sub-acid, white tinged 
with red. A fine eating 
Apple and one that keeps 
well in storage. Each 70c; 
5 for $3.25. 
v i DUCHESS. August to Sep- 
loung Applet at Our I urseiy tember. A standard early 
commercial variety and the best known of all the Russian 
Apples. It is very hardy, free from blight, and an early and 
prolific bearer. The fruit is large, yellow with red stripes, 
very tender and juicy. Each 70c; 5 for $3.25. 
RED WING. One of the Minnesota varieties on specially hardy 
root stocks. A very hardy and blight-free sort, has lived some 
twelve years and borne in Manitoba. Of sturdy habit and 
handsome appearance. Fruit is medium to large in size, of 
wonderful keeping qualities, so that it fills the long-felt want 
in the Northwest of an entirely hardy Winter Apple of good 
quality. Fruit hangs to tree well, is beautiful in appearance, 
with firm, fine grained, juicy 
flesh. Each 70c; 5 for $3.25.
