No. 290 
Whitney 
Haralson 
WHITNEY 
An old favorite, a large, 
red, mild flavored crab, ex- 
cellent for eating, canning, 
and pickles. Perfectly har¬ 
dy, never bights, and is a 
heavy cropper. It ripens 
early. Prices on page 29-A. 
BEACON ★★★ Prof. Alderman says: “The new Beacon is a fall 
apple ripening with or a few days later than 
Duchess, and will keep for a month after harvest even without cold storage 
facilities. It is a highly colored, alhred variety—better eating than Duchess 
and is an excellent cooking Apple. The tree is vigorous, productive, and very 
hardy.” 
The early season, the uniform size and shape, the high color and quality, 
together with the keeping and handling quality so different from most early 
apples, make Beacon the outstanding early apple for home or for market. 
Beacon apples bring $2.00 per bushel on the Minneapolis 
market when the Duchess are selling at 75c. 
We have set four acres of Beacon in our own orchard 
for commercial fruiting. Prices on page 29-A. 
HARALSON ★★★ At the time Haralson was 
introduced rrof. W. H. 
Alderman, Chief, Division of Horticulture, University of 
Minnesota, said of Haralson: “Its size, shape and color are 
just right for an ideal commercial apple. The tree is ex' 
tremely 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.” 
Since that time Haralson has justified every claim made 
by Prof. Alderman. It is being produced in volume and is a money 
maker. The Haralson crop from our own orchards this year was 
nearly 8000 bushels. These found ready sale at a profitable price. 
Haralson is particularly prized by pie makers. Contrary to popular 
opinion, pie makers are very particular about the apples they use. 
They insist on the right size, texture, sugar content and baking 
quality. Haralson suits them perfectly. It’s a grand albpurpose 
apple, and keeps easily through the winter. Plant liberally of Harab 
son. Prices on page 29-C. 
MINNESOTA No. 790 ★★★ 
planting stock is available. It is a good consistent cropper of large, firm, dark red 
aoples. Good for eating out of hand and second to none for baking. It is also a 
good keeper. 
Many people do not realize that restaurants and hotels are very particular about 
the apples they choose for baking. Of the older varieties the most popular for 
baking has been Rome Beauty, which 
cannot be grown here but must be 
shipped in from the West Coast. How¬ 
ever, tests carried on in connection with 
the State University indicate that Minn. 
790 is just as satisfactory as Rome 
Beauty and it can be grown in any 
Minnesota orchard. Let’s plant Minn. 
790 and “grow our own.’’ Prices on 
page 29-A. 
Piotosh 
DIATACU This is a new introduction from 
■ II Canada. Prof. Kerr of the Morden 
Experiment Station writes of Piotosh: “I understand it is 
being planted rather widely as a commercial crab, being 
a good preserver, good for jelly and also fair as dessert. 
It is medium large, attains a bright red color, making it 
very attractive. Piotosh is a distinct improvement over 
Whitney. With us it has fruited more heavily, is better 
quality, more attractive, and hardier.” Stock of Piotosh is 
limited this year. Make reservation early. Prices on page29-B.
