ANDREWS «02%. APPLE TREES — 
Six Remarkable 
New Apples 
Originated by the Minn. State Fruit Breeding Farm 

America’s standard of living is the highest in the 
world. That’s because we are not satisfied with what 
our grandfathers had. We are constantly striving for 
“something better.” That's why our autos, radios, re- 
frigerators and such things are so efficient. That’s why 
we have improved hybrid corn and marvelous baby 
beef. 
Horticulture also has been awake in Minnesota. Our 
State Fruit Breeding Farm has done splendid work— 
giving to the world the Latham Raspberry — luscious 
Plums—juicy Cherries. And now after years of patient 
and intelligent work they have given us a new race of 
hardy Apples. Apples the equal of any in the United 
States for quality and with hardiness of tree that ex- 
tends Apple growing even up into Manitoba, Canada. 
The most desirable Apples heretofore available were too 
tender for tough climates. Untold thousands of Delicious, Jona- 
than, Winesap and others perished in the Armistice Day storm 
of 1940. They couldn’t “take it.” 
The splendid assortment of new varieties on these two pages 
revolutionize Apple growing. Briefly: They have plenty of 
quality. They furnish a succession of high grade, home grown 
fruit from August through fall, winter and the following spring. 
They are sturdy and hardy and can “take it’—Armistice Day 
blizzard and all. 
Plant more Apple trees—eat more Apples—plant the year- 
round assortment on these two pages. 
Early —all-red — hardy — productive.

MINJON (Minnesota No. 700) *** 
A “MINNESOTA JONATHAN.” By actual performance 
it has earned a place in the forefront of our Apple orchards. It 
has many points of superiority. In the first place, it is very 
hardy—growing and producing far north. It is one of our most 
attractive Apples—a medium size—a brilliant red and all-red. It 
resembles Jonathan; in fact, it has been called “Minnesota 
Jonathan” for some years. 
It bears abundantly and regularly, the fruit is distributed 
evenly over the tree and it hangs well until picked. This Apple 
ripens about the time of Wealthy but colors better, hangs better 
to the tree and brings more money on the market. Prices page

MINNESOTA No. 396 Ke He He Professor A 
man says of No. 
396: “An Apple of the McIntosh type but later in season, a little 
more firm in flesh, generally a better color and the fruit is less 
likely to drop before ready for harvest. The picking season 1s 
about a week following McIntosh and it keeps at least a month 
longer in the winter. Not only is it of high dessert quality 
equalling or exceeding McIntosh but it also has excellent 
culinary qualities for use in baking, pie-making, Apple sauce or 
uncooked in fruit salads.” 
We believe this a much more valuable Apple than either Me- 
Intosh or Cortland. Prices page 33-A.
