Beacon 
The New All-Red Eating Apple 
A recent introduction of the Minnesota 
State Fruit Breeding Farm that promises 
to take the place of Duchess. Beacon ripens 
with Duchess or sometimes a few days 
later. Fruit is completely red and of uni¬ 
form fair size. Excellent eating apple and 
a good cooking apple. 
We feel that Beacon is superior to other 
apples of the same season and will un¬ 
doubtedly replace them largely. In our own 
trial orchards, as well as other reports we 
have had, it has proven to be perfectly 
hardy and a heavy annual cropper. Tree 
is upright in growth and a vigorous 
grower. 
Unlike most of the early apples which 
last for a short time, Beacon can be stored 
in an ordinary cellar for two or three 
months. The advantages of this, from a 
commercial standpoint, are obvious, as 
they can be marketed whenever the price 
and demand is favorable. 
Its splendid quality and appearance, 
uniform size, and good handling qualities 
are sure to make Beacon a valuable apple 
for home use and in the commercial or¬ 
chard. It fills the demand for a quality 
apple that comes in before the Wealthy, 
Haralson, and other apples of similar 
season. 
Haralson 
A proven Leader in Minnesota and 
the Northwest 
It Has Everything— 
1. Color—-bright red. 
2. Quality—good. 
3. Size—large. 
4. Season—late fall. 
5. Keeping—excellent, until April and May. 
6. Yield—Yields heavy and often bears fruit 
the second year after planting. 
7. Hardiness—Is recommended throughout 
Minnesota and is found thriving in Canada. 
The Leading Commercial Apple 
In addition to being almost a perfect apple for 
the home orchard HARALSON is being planted 
extensively in commercial orchards. Wide-awake 
planters are switching to Haralson. 
It is the first apple we have ever had that we 
sincerely say can be grown on a commercial scale 
in competition with Jonathan and similar apples 
shipped into this territory.
