ANDREWS NORTHERN ROOTED 
Andrews Northern Rooted Haralson 
16 years old—yielding 17 bushels 
HARALSON 
Originated by Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. 
Opens a Million Dollar Market 
Because the new Haralson is a good looking, long keep- 
ing, big red apple and because it thrives in the upper Miss' 
issippi Valley, wide'awake planters have a million dollar 
market thrown open to them. 
Minnesota alone has been shipping in annually from dis' 
tant states a million bushels of winter apples. Wisconsin, 
northern Iowa, and the Dakotas also ship in great quan" 
tides. Haralson makes this trade available to local growers. 
HARALSON SATISFIES THE TRADE 
The market demands a good'si 2 ,ed, 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 a Money-Maker 
D. C. Webster, LaCrescent, Minnesota, a veteran 
fruit grower and prize winner at Fruit Shows 
wrote us December 9: ‘7 do not wish to unduly 
stress the virtues of the Haralson apple, and what 
I say of it is what it has done for me only on my 
own place here at LaCrescent. I do not hesitate 
to say that it will yield more bushels per acre 
than any variety I am growing. For instance, the 
boys picked 16 trees—^not large trees —one after¬ 
noon this fall and got 160 bushels, and the trees 
were not picked clean. This is about the average 
for my Haralson this year.”

Long Keeping 
Haralson orchard trees come into bearing quickly, pro' 
ducing a paying crop before most other varieties begin. We 
have records of IS'year-old trees producing 15 bushels to 
the tree, and IV'year-'old trees producing 21 bushels to the 
tree. 
Prof. W. H. Alderman, Chief, Division of Horticulture, 
University of Minnesota, says of Haralson:—“/fs 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 welhknown 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 demand. 
Here again is your opportunity. Plant Haralson this spring 
and take advantage- of the market right at your door!
