of northern Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming 
and northern Idaho. To insure extreme hardiness in our 
fruit trees, we have raised seedlings from the best hardy 
northern crab apples and plum selections. The fruit trees 
we offer below have been grafted on these hardy northern 
seedlings. This insures early ripening with no danger of 
winter killing. 
The fruits here offered are especially suited to those 
areas that require extra hardy varieties which can

developments, have been thoroughly tested in these states

when we have those occasional bad winters with extreme 
low temperatures, for you know they will wake up in the 
spring. It is your insurance policy, but they cost no more 
than tender varieties.
