Northern-Grown Apples ... on HARDY ROOTS 
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 
a few days later. Fruit is completely red and of 
uniform fair size. Excellent eating apple and good 
cooking apple. 
Hardy . . . Heavy Cropper 
We feel that Beacon is superior to other apples 
of the same season and will undoubtedly 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. 
Best Early Variety for Storing 
Beacon Apple 
Unlike most of the early apples which last for a 
short time, Beacon can be stored in an ordinary 
cellar for two months. The advantages of this 
from a commercial standpoint, are obvious, as 
they can be marketed whenever the price and 
demand is favorable. 
Equally Good for Home or Market 
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 orchard. It fills the demand 
for a quality apple that comes in before the 
Wealthy, Haralson and other apples of similar 
season.

CARE OF NURSERY STOCK 
When the stock is received, open the bundle in 
the shade out of the wind and, if you are not 
ready to plant immediately, heel the roots in the 
ground, soaking them well as you do. If well 
heeled in, they can be kept without damage for 
a reasonable time. Ask for our free booklet on 
planting and care of nursery stock. 
ORDER EARLY 
Order early while our assortment is com¬ 
plete. We have a very fine lot of stock this 
year but as the season progresses we always 
run short of some varieties. Be sure to 
specify on your order whether or not we 
can substitute equally desirable varieties 
provided we are out of some of the items. 
WEALTH Y— Wealthy is still our leading apple 
of its season. Ripens in early September and 
keeps until the Holidays. Wealthy has undoubt¬ 
edly made more money for the commercial growers 
in Minnesota and adjoining states than any other 
variety. The fruit is medium to large in size, and 
colors up to a beautiful red. Quality—exception¬ 
ally good. Tree is very hardy and a heavy yielder.

Nursery is located just off Highway 61, at 
the St. Paul city limits, across the river
