This photo reproduced from the Journal 
Series Paper No. 89, Minnesota Agricultural 
Experiment Station, shows the marked con¬ 
trast between the even dark color of the 
DANIELS RED DUCHESS and the streaked 
and splotched red and green of the ordinary 
variety. 
DOLGO CRAB —Dolgo is generally con¬ 
ceded to be the most beautiful of all 
apple trees. It is heavily laden with 
large white flowers at blossom time, 
and later the brilliant red fruit is borne 
freely in beautiful rope-like clusters, 
among dense foliage of vivid, dark 
green. The fruit is oblong in shape, of 
rare beauty and has a very unusual 
lemon-like flavor. Far superior to other 
crabs for jellies, producing a transpar¬ 
ent bright red jelly of high quality. 
Will jell even when dead ripe. In prais¬ 
ing Dolgo the Country Gentleman says: 
“This variety is the most striking in 
appearance of any of the newer crabs 
tested at the Ohio station.” When in 
full bloom the tree is very decorative, 
and again in early fall when the fruit 
is ripening the high red color of the 
fruit makes this tree worth while just 
for ornamental purposes. The quality 
of the fruit for jelly and preserves is 
excellent. 
CORTLAND —A seedling of McIntosh 
that may even surpass its well known 
parent in popularity. 
It really is an “Improved McIntosh.” Almost 
identical in shape, taste and flesh character¬ 
istics. Ripens a little later, keeps longer; slight¬ 
ly larger and brighter in color. Fruit hangs on 
tree somewhat better, too. Behavior of Cortland 
the past few years indicates that it may be 
somewhat hardier in our climate than its Mc- 
Inosh parent. 
RED DELICIOUS —Colors earlier and a 
far deeper red than the ordinary De¬ 
licious, of which this is a bud sport. 
Cannot be too highly praised. Large, 
deep luscious red—flesh of splendid 
texture and of the finest quality. One 
of the best winter keepers. Season 
November to April. 
DANIELS RED DUCHESS— A remark¬ 
able early red apple. An improved bud 
sport of the Duchess of Oldenburg. 
The Daniels Red Duchess is an early red apple 
that seems destined to entirely displace the old 
Duchess of Oldenburg. It possesses all of the 
good qualities of the older variety and in addi¬ 
tion that all important, price commanding qual¬ 
ity of high red color. Coming as it does at a sea¬ 
son when there is a dearth of red apples on the 
market, it has proven itself a commercial va¬ 
riety of exceptional value. 
For the past 20 years it has been under the 
observation of the staff of the Division of Horti¬ 
culture at University Farm. Professor W. H. Al¬ 
derman, Chief of the Division, says: “It is un¬ 
questionably the most highly colored sport of 
the Duchess of Oldenburg known to be in ex¬ 
istence. I can see no reason why commercial 
growers should continue to plant Duchess when 
this new sport is available in quantities to sup¬ 
ply the demand.” Recommended by the Minne¬ 
sota State Horticultural Society in place of the 
ordinary Duchess. 
Ever since we introduced the variety—ten 
years ago— it has proven exceedingly popular. 
It bears early, abundantly and regularly, fre¬ 
quently fruiting in the nursery row. For early 
apple satisfaction and profit plant Daniels Red 
Duchess. 
Vest Pocket Orchard 
How often has the city home owner 
sighed for three or more varieties of ap¬ 
ples when there was room for only one 
tree in his yard! To meet their needs we 
have developed Daniels Vest Pocket 
Orchard apple trees. By means of a 
painstaking process of grafting, we have 
developed trees which will bear 3, 4, 5 
and even 6 different varieties on the one 
tree. Each variety is as perfect as if it 
had grown on a normal tree. We have 
used only the best varieties as Wealthy, 
Haralson, Dolgo, Daniels Red, Duchess, 
McIntosh and Erickson. Aside from its 
utilitarian value, you will get more 
“bang” out of one of these trees, bearing 
several varieties of fruit at once, than out 
of any other plant on your grounds. 
Order Early. 
3 Variety trees $3.00 each. 
4 Variety trees $4.00 each. 
5 Variety trees $5.00 each.
