Our trees are all 3 years old and are of the 
varieties that we consider best for our 
climate. We graft our own apples on roots, 
that we grow ourselves, which assures you 
of the hardiest stock available and trees 
that will withstand severe drought con- 
ditions. 
Due to ideal growing weather last summer 
we have a good supply of high quality 
trees. Plant your orchard this year with 
Bailey’s hardy apples grown on our own 
hardy roots. Order early while our list 
is still complete. 
ANOKA—FEarly bearing, often fruiting the 
second year after planting. Introduced by Prof. 
Hansen of South Dakota. Quality is good. 
Season—very early. The tree is very hardy, 
fruit is green heavily covered with red streaks. 


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. 
Hardy .. . Heavy Cropper 
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. 
Equally 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. 
APPLES 
NORTHERN GROWN 
ON HARDY ROOTS! 

CORTLAND 
CORTLAND — A seedling of McIntosh that is 
proving more satisfactory in many respects. 
The fruit has the same high quality as Mc- 
Intosh, keeps better, and hangs to the tree 
longer. 
DELICIOUS— High quality, bright red, a 
good winter keeper. We recommend planting 
Delicious in a sheltered location. 
DUCHESS—The standard apple for your early 
pies and sauce. Excellent eating. Hardy and 
a heavy yielder. 
RED DUCHESS—An improved selection of 
the standard Duchess. Fruit bright red, ripens 
early August. Perfectly hardy. 
ERICKSON—This apple was originated at 
Aitkin, Minnesota, a few years ago and is 
proving a real success as an early apple. The 
fruit which ripens about the same time as the 
Duchess, is very large and a deep red in color.
