The Leading Commercial Apple 
In addition to being almost a perfect apple 
for the home orchard HARALSON is being 
planted extensively in commercial or¬ 
chards. 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 com¬ 
mercial scale in competition with Jonathan 
and similar apples shipped into this terri¬ 
tory. 
Haralson in Great Demand 
The market demands a good sized, red, 
long keeping apple. Haralson fully satisfies 
all these qualifications and in addition, 
stands handling and shipping well. 
PATTEN’S GREENING —This apple is popular on 
account of its hardiness and heavy yielding qualities. 
Fruit is large, green with pink blush. Tree is thrifty 
and grows in a spreading form. Season—September. 
WEDGE —An apple of about the same season as 
Wealthy. An exceptionally good apple for baking and 
the demand from restaurants and other sources is in¬ 
creasing for this particular apple. Fruit is medium to 
large and of uniform size. 
Bears Young 
Haralson is a prolific bearer, and the or¬ 
chard trees yield very young. They often 
start bearing the second year after plant¬ 
ing. The tree is strong and they carry 
heavy loads without splitting the branches. 
Originated and introduced by the Minne¬ 
sota State Fruit Breeding Farm.
