We hear much these days about the Defense Program. Fac- 
tories and foundries have rushed ahead full speed preparing 
defense against a foreign foe. We will also need defense at home 
against living costs. 
Wise management will not wait until increased living costs 
creep up on us. They will prepare now to offset the higher living 
costs which are sure to come. They will plant now at present 
low costs so that in years to come, when living costs have risen, 
they will not be entirely dependent on the grocer. True thrift 
will not be caught napping. 
Plant a complete thrift garden and orchard this spring. Plenty 
of fruits all down the line will help immensely on the grocery bill. 
ANOKA A very hardy tree and an early cropper. Fruit 
lacks color, flavor and keeping quality. Not rec' 
ommended where Duchess or Beacon can be grown. Prices, 
page 29-A. 
RED DUCHESS It has all the good qualities of the old 
Duchess and in addition has attractive 
bright red color. Red Duchess makes a delicious sauce with a 
flavor all its own. Commands a better price on the early market 
than common Duchess. Prices, page 29-C. 
DELICIOUS A high quality, sweet Apple that may be 
grown in favored locations in Southeastern 
Minnesota, if propagated on our hardy root stock. Keeps to 
January. Prices, page 29-A. 
WEALTHY Few Apples excel Wealthy 
in appearance and flavor 
for an early fall Apple. A very good Apple 
for the period between summer Apples and 
the later winter Apples. Prices, page 29-C. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT 
An old favorite early summer eating Apple. 
Very hardy and productive. Quite perishable, 
but excellent quality while it lasts. Prices, 
page 29-C. 
BEACON ★★★ Beacon is early, but unlike 
most early Apples, it is not 
quickly perishable. Even though it ripens with or 
just a few days later than Duchess, it keeps easily into 
the Wealthy season. This good handling and keep¬ 
ing quality, together with all-red color make Beacon 
a very exceptional early Apple. Prices, page 29-A. 
18-year-old Haralson in Our 120-Acre Orchard. Yield in 1940, 25 Bushels 
HARALSON ★★★ Since it was orig' 
mated about 25 
years ago, Haralson has taken a commanding 
lead over other Apples for the Northwest. In 
the past ten years it has been the most popm 
lar in this district. It is a hardy tree, stands 
heat and cold. It has strong crotches, seldom 
splits or breaks. It bears early, often the third 
year after planting. It bears heavily, in fact, 
often needs thinning. Finally, it is a large, alb 
red Apple that keeps throughout the winter 
in ordinary storage. You will make no mistake 
in planting Haralson for home or for market.

iVic IN TOSH Appl e of very high quality which keeps 
till mid'January. A fault of McIntosh is that 
the Apples are inclined to drop before quite finished. Cortland, 
a seedling of McIntosh and much the same flavor, is now being 
widely planted instead of McIntosh. Prices, page 29-A. 
NORTHWESTERN GREENING Fruit very large, 
and handsome; 
turning yellow as it matures. This apple is 
in good demand as a cooking apple in late 
winter and spring. A good commercial variety 
in the southeast third of Minnesota. Season 
December to March. Prices page 29-C.
