ANDREWS .02"°%..c APPLE TREES 
Noteworthy 
Achievement! 
Professor Alderman, 
Chief, Division of Horti- 
culture, University of Min- 
nesota, and his staff at the 
Minnesota State Fruit 
Breeding Farm have done 
a notable work in develop- 
ing the splendid new Ap- 
ples listed on this page as 
3-Star (* * *). These va- 
rieties will revolutionize 
Apple growing just as La- 
tham has revolutionized 
raspberry growing. 

HARALSON kkk At the time Haralson was intro- 
duced, Professor Alderman said 
of it: “Its size, shape and color are just right for an ideal 
commercial apple. The tree is extremely vigorous, productive 
and hardy. The branches spring at wide angles from the 
central trunk and are very strong in the crotches. The fruit 
will keep in an ordinary cellar throughout the winter without 
artificial refrigeration.” 
Since it was originated, over 25 years ago, Haralson has 
justified every claim made by Professor Alderman. In the past 
ten years it has been the most popular Apple 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, all-red Apple that keeps throughout the 
winter in ordinary storage. It’s a grand all-purpose Apple for 
home or for market. Plant liberally of Haralson—it’s a sure 
bet. Price page 33-B. 
MINNESOTA No. 638 ew This bas 
“Winter Wealthy” but that hardly does it justice. Professor 
Alderman says: “Many growers who have observed this 
handsomely colored solid red Apple have acclaimed it as the 
most promising commercial variety of the new varieties. Evi- 
dence in support of this view is found in its consistent annual 
cropping, its even distribution of fruit throughout the tree 
and lack of clustering, the even size and clean, attractive finish 
of the fruit, its ability to hang to the tree in high wind, and its 
mild but pleasant flavor. It requires a long season to develop 
full maturity, harvest usually coming about the middle of 
October. It is classed as a winter Apple but is not a long 
keeper. In common storage it should be used before the end 
of January.” Price, page 33-A.

APPLES HELP REDUCE 
Mrs. Wyatt Richard in “Virginia Fruit” says: “Here is 
a tip to those of us who are anxious to lose a few pounds. 
If an Apple is eaten before meals and in between, it will 
help to relieve that empty feeling and take the place of 
richer foods.” This is a pleasant and satisfying way to a 
slender figure and still maintain good health. Plant the all- 
year assortment on these two pages.
