PRAIRIE SPY Those who appreciate a high quality Apple 
will be delighted with this new Prairie 
Spy. The outstanding feature is its exceptionally high quality—con' 
sidered to be as high quality as any Apple in the United States. 
Just think what this means. You can now raise here in Minnesota 
as fine an eating Apple as if you lived in any of the so'called 
favored Apple sections of the United States. Even from as far 
north as Manitoba come good reports for Prairie Spy. The De' 
cember 21, 1940, News Letter from Morden, Canada, says “From 
the Minnesota Station have come two distinctive Apples that 
thrive in southern Manitoba, Haralson and Prairie Spy. The 
latter is a very fine variety, large, bright red and excellent flavor.” 
The trees are vigorous, hardy, and very productive. The fruit 
hangs till fully ripened, and keeps without refrigeration until 
late winter. 
You no longer need to depend on the grocer for fancy winter 
eating Apples. There is no longer logical reason for shipping in such 
Apples as Winesap when you can raise Prairie Spy in your own back 
yard. For home or for market plant Prairie Spy and you will not be 
disappointed. Make a liberal planting of Prairie Spy this year. Prices 
on page 29-A. 
Cortland is really a very exceptional Apple. It has the 
high color and fine quality of its parent McIntosh 
without some of the faults of McIntosh. Cortland hangs to the tree better— 
the fruit stands handling and shipping better and it keeps ’til midwinter. We 
have over a thousand Cortland in our bearing orchard and find the fruit sells readily 
and brings a premium over common sorts. It even outsells McIntosh. The tree is a 
vigorous grower, a heavy cropper, and the fruit is well distributed over the trees.

WFDfiE Wedge was introduced 
"T M W ^ about 16 years ago, but 
Haralson “stole the show” at that time, and Wedge 
was not widely planted. However, it is now grow' 
ing in popularity as a good market Apple before 
Haralson is ready. It is a beautiful Apple— 
large, smooth, and a bright red color. It is 
especially sought by restaurants and hotels 
ior baking. The Excelsior Fruit Growers’ 
Association has found Wedge a ready 
seller at a premium over common 
sorts. The tree is so vigorous and 
productive that it is proving to be 
a sure money maker. Prices on

and productivity of tree, combined 
with high quality of fruit. You will 
have a succession of Apples from 
late summer throughout the fall, 
winter and spring, and the quality 
ranks with the best. Plant the full 
assortment of varieties listed 
above.

DOLGO CRAB 
A comparatively new and very unusual 
Crab Apple. It has been called the “Perfect 
Crab.” The fruit is strikingly beautiful, 
bright fiery red, borne in great profusion. 
It jells perfectly —even when dead ripe. 
Dolgo is free from blight and is rapidly dis' 
placing the old varieties such as Tran' 
scendent and Hyslop. 
Dolgo makes a beautiful lawn tree and 
may be used on the home grounds instead 
of Mountain Ash. Prices on page 29-A.
