Crab Apples sue 
DOLGO. This beautiful and high quality crab apple has 
been displacing other crabs throughout all northern 
states. Developed by Prof. Hansen at Brookings, S. Dak. 
It bears heavily, brilliant red fruit in clusters. Prof. 
Hansen writes, “Fruit is full of juice, jells easily, makes 
a rich red jelly of beautiful color and excellent flavor.” 
Prof. Alderman writes, “The Dolgo crab is the best 
one I know for northern conditions. It makes a hand- 
some lawn tree with its symmetrical outline, light green 
foliage and fiery red fruit.” Class A 
RED RIVER (Dolgo X Delicious). New. A cross between 
Dolgo crab and Delicious apple. Hardy like its mother 
parent but has caught some of the flavor of the Delicious 
apple. Size larger than Dolgo; color rich red; quality 
the very finest for eating, cooking, and preserving.

ing ornamental tree. Class A

Currants, Gooseberries, Raspberries, Strawberries and 
Rhubarb cut down the grocery bills. Many a homemaker 
has supplied the table with fresh fruit and the most 
delicious canned fruit for winter, and in addition suvplied 
themselves with the easiest possible pin money. Markets 
here are very high in price. Local markets will absorb 
these things at three times the price paid the growers 
in western fruit markets. 
Currant, Gooseberries, and bush cherries are ornamental 
and have a place in the landscape border as well as the 
small orchard. Great improvements have been made by 
fruit breeding stations. We offer below some of the 
finest and new varieties at popular prices.
