CRABS 
Crab Apples 
The hardy and improved varieties 
of Crab Apples, some of which are 
of recent introduction and promise 
great excellence, supply a much 
needed want in the more northern 
portions of the United States and 
Canada, where little else in the line 
of fruit can be grown. And even in 
the more favored localities, where 
other fruits are grown in abundance. 
Crab Apples are every year becom- 
ing more esteemed and cultivated. 
*DOLGO CRAB. Fruit hangs in big clus- 
ters and is fiery red. Jellies perfectly even 
when dead ripe. Excellent for canning. 
Bears young and abundantly. Extremely 
hardy and free from blight. A shapely 
tree, beautiful in flower and in fruit. It 
makes a very good tree for ornamental 
purposes. 
*HYSLOP. Red, not striped; fruit large, 
roundish ovate, produced in clusters; color 
dark, rich red, covered with thick blue 
bloom; flesh inclined to yellow, sub-acid. 
Tree hardy and vigorous. November. 
*RED SIBERIAN. Large, strong grower; 
pale red-yellow; good quality. Tree large, 
with coarse foliage; young bearer. 
SWEET RUSSET. A yellow russet pear- 
shaped Crab, of a large size, very sweet 
and of good eating qualities. One of the 
best pickling Crabs. Ripens in August. 
TRANSCENDENT. A beautiful variety of 
Siberian Crab. Red and yellow. August. 
Tree bad blighter. 
!|! W'HITNEY (Whitney No. 20). (Hybrid.)

Winter Apples—Continued 
*PERKINS. Originated by T. E. Perkins of Red Wing, Minnesota. The fruit is large, dark, deep 
red and round as a ball. Flesh fine grained, tender, juicy, good quality and delicious flavor, 
and keeps until March. Tree vigorous, a good grower, heavy annual bearer. One of the best 
varieties for the- North. 
*RED WING. Originated at Red Wing, Minnesota. It is a winter Apple slightly larger than the 
Wealthy, streaked with red on a yellow background, and shaped like Malinda; has enough acid 
to make it cook nicely. December to February. 
SALOME. Tree is hardy in Southern Wisconsin, vigorous and a good bearer; 
pale yellow, shaded and splashed with red. Season January to May. 
fruit round; skin 
SECOR. This Iowa seedling is a cross between Jonathan and Salome. The tree- makes a good 
growth. The fruit is larger than Jonathan, keeps longer and is free of Jonathan spot. It is well 
colored, keeps until May, and is of high quality. 
SNOW (Fameuse). Medium, deep crimson; flesh snowy white, tender, melting, and delicious; tree 
vigorous with dark wood; a fine dessert fruit; valuable for market; does well in the North. 
November to January. 
TOLMAN SWEET. Medium, pale whitish yellow; flesh white, fine grained; very hardy and 
productive. The best winter sweet Apple for home and market. November to March. 
TURLEY WINESAP. A greatly im- _— 
proved Winesap. The tree is vigorous 
and bears fruit early — in five or six 
years after planting. The great ad¬ 
vantage of the Turley over the com¬ 
mon Winesap is in its better coloring. 
The Turley becomes a rich red and 
of large size. Flesh slightly greenish, 
tinged with yellow, fine grained, ten¬ 
der, moderately crisp, juicy, aromatic 
and mildly sub-acid. Like the Wine¬ 
sap, its quality is delicious. Tree is 
a good grower of a spreading habit. 
Keeps until May. 
* WINDSOR CHIEF. Fruit of good size, 
rather dark red or brownish red in 
color and hangs well. Pleasant, sub- 
acid flavor and good quality. Tree is 
a reliable cropper, yielding moderate 
crops annually. On account of its 
hardiness Windsor Chief is regarded 
as a good variety for the North. 
WINTER BANANA. October to April. 
Fruit large, smooth, golden yellow 
shaded bright red; flesh fine grained, 
slightly sub-acid and highly aromatic. 
YELLOW DELICIOUS. One of the fin¬ 
est yellow winter Apples. Golden 
yellow with firm, juicy, crisp flesh. 
A good keeper.

Gentlemen: Feb. 6, 1939 
I have known and dealt with 
the McKay Nursery Company 
for many years. During this 
time I have planted thousands 
of McKay’s deciduous trees, 
shrubs, evergreens and fruit 
trees with excellent results. 
The stock has always reached 
me in a fine, healthy condi¬ 
tion and has been first-class, 
thrifty material. 
McKay stock has been an 
important part in the develop¬ 
ment of our Picnic Point 
property. Yours very truly,
