APPLE TREES 
HARALSON 
Opens a Million Dollar Market 
Because the new Haralson is a good looking, long 
keeping, big red apple and because it thrives in the 
upper Mississippi Valley, wide-awake planters have a 
million dollar market thrown open to them. 
Minnesota alone has been shipping in annually from 
distant states a million bushels of winter apples. Wis¬ 
consin, northern Iowa, and the Dakotas also ship in 
great quantities. Haralson makes this trade available to 
local growers. 
HARALSON SATISFIES THE TRADE 
The market demands a good-sized, red, long keeping 
apple. Haralson fully satisfies these requirements. It 
stands handling and shipping well and easily keeps 
through till spring. 
HARALSON THRIVES IN COLD CLIMATE 
Haralson is rugged and hardy. It is the answer to 
years of search and effort to secure a suitable long- 
keeping apple that could thrive in our northern climate. 
Freedom from fire blight is another of the sterling 
qualities of Haralson. 
BEARS EARLY AND HEAVILY 
Haralson orchard trees come into bearing quickly, 
producing a paying crop before most other varieties 
begin. We have records of 13-year-old trees producing 
15 bushels to the tree. The trees are strongly branched 
and carry heavy loads without splitting down. 
Prof. W. H. Alderman, Chief, Division of Horticulture, 
University of Minnesota, says of Haralson:— “Its size, 
shape and color are just right for an ideal commercial 
apple. The tree is extremely vigorous, productive and 
hardy. The branches spring at wide angles from the 
central trunk and are very strong in the crotches. The 
fruit will keep in an ordinary cellar throughout the winter 
without artificial refrigeration!’ 
EXTRA SPECIAL! 
HARALSON RANKS NO. 1 FOR PIES! 
Recent tests completed by Twin City pie factories have 
brought out the information that Haralson ranks No. 1 for pies! 
Commercial pie factories use many carloads of apples every 
year. Haralson has qualified for this use—-in fact, the profes¬ 
sional pie makers rank it Top Notch. Pie factories will use 
Haralson as soon as growers produce enough to be able to 
supply them. 
HARALSON RANKS WITH JONATHAN 
ABOVE WINESAP 
Another comparative test as to the relative rating of Haralson 
as compared with older and welbknown varieties was carried 
on recently by Division of Home Economics, and Division of 
Horticulture, University of Minnesota. 
The apples were tested for baking, for apple sauce, and for 
coddling. In each case, Haralson scored in the same class as 
Jonathan, and in each case it scored above Winesap. 
At present, Jonathan is one of the principal apples on the 
market before Christmas, and Winesap the most in evidence after 
Christmas. This test carried out by the University of Minnesota 
has demonstrated very clearly that there is a definite place on 
the market ready for Haralson as soon as the growers can supply 
the dem.and. 
Here again is your opportunity. Plant Haralson this spring 
and take advantage of the market right at your door! 
Haralson—Deep Red, Long Keeping. 
Originated by Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. 
Haralson a Money-Maker 
D. C. Webster, LaCrescent, Minnesota, a veteran fruit 
grower and prize winner at Fruit Shows, got 1300 bushels 
of Haralson from 175 trees. Figure that out at a con¬ 
servative price of $1.50 per bushel! 
Jos. Hahn, Excelsior, Minnesota, says— “I set out some 
Haralson trees in the spring of 1925. They produced some 
fruit the third year and the crop has increased every year 
since then. The sixth year (1931) I measured the crop 
from one tree and found it was 5^4 bushels. This tree 
was 10 feet high at the time.” 
These Haralson apples were picked in October, 1937, and kept in 
ordinary storage until May, 1938, when the trees were in bloom for 
the next year’s crop of fruit.
