BEACON 
The New All-Red Eating Apple 
A recent introduction of the Minnesota State 
Fruit Breeding Farm that promises to take the 
place of Duchess. Beacon ripens with Duchess or 
a few days later. Fruit is completely red and of 
uniform fair size. Excellent eating apple and good 
cooking apple. 
Eq ually Good for Home or Market 
Its splendid quality and appearance, uniform 
size, and good handling qualities are sure to 
make Beacon a valuable apple for home use and 
in the commercial orchard. It fills the demand 
for a quality apple that comes in before the 
Wealthy, Haralson and other apples of similar 
season.

Hardy . . . Heavy Cropper 
PRAIRIE SPY 
We feel that Beacon is superior to other apples 
of the same season and will undoubtedly replace 
them largely. In our own trial orchards, as well 
as other reports we have had, it has proven to be 
perfectly hardy and a heavy annual cropper. 
Tree is upright in growth and a vigorous grower. 
Best Early Variety for Storing 
Unlike most of the early apples which last for a 
short time, Beacon can be stored in an ordinary 
cellar for two months. The advantages of this 
from a commercial standpoint, are obvious, as 
they can be marketed whenever the price and 
demand is favorable. 
New—Long Keeping— 
High Quality 
Prairie Spy, previously known as Min¬ 
nesota No. 1007, is a very promising 
apple and in our opinion is probably the 
best of the recent introductions of the 
Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. 
It is a medium to large apple, ripening 
late, and an exceptionally good keeper. 
It keeps, with ordinary storage, even 
better than Haralson. Fruit is com¬ 
pletely covered with carmine red stripes 
and is very attractive. Quality good. 
The tree apparently is perfectly hardy, 
but we do not recommend planting it in 
Northern Minnesota as the season is 
not long enough to properly mature the 
fruit.
