PICKING PRAIRIE SPY 
1943 VICTORY GARDEN 
The National Garden Program was launched in 
December, 1941, and sponsored by Mrs. 
Roosevelt, Governor Paul V. McNutt, and 
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard. Their pur- 
pose is to promote planting of farm gardens, 
fruit gardens, school and community gardens, 
and ornamental gardening. 
Plant that home orchard and fruit garden this 
year. The nation needs more and more fruits, 
vegetables, and farm crops to meet the National 
Emergency. Do your part by planting a garden 
this year. 
ORDER EARLY! 
Order early while our assortment is complete. 
We have a very fine lot of stock this year but 
as the season progresses we always run short 
of some varieties. Be sure to specify on your 
order whether or not we can substitute equally 
desirable varieties provided we are out of some 
of the items.

PRAIRIE SPY 
New—Long Keeping—High Quality 
Prairie Spy, previously known as Minnesota 
No. 1007, is a very promising apple and in our 
opinion is probably the best of the recent intro- 
ductions of the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding 
Farm. It is a medium to large apple, ripening 
late, and an exceptionally good keeper. It 
keeps, with ordinary storage, even better than 
Haralson. Fruit is completely covered with 
carmine red stripes and is very attractive. 
Quality good. The tree apparently is perfectly 
hardy, but we do not recommend planting it in 
Northern Minnesota as the season is not long 
enough to properly mature the fruit. 
WEALTHY 
THE MONEY-MAKER 
Wealthy is still our leading apple of its season. 
Ripens in early September and keeps until the - 
holidays. Wealthy has undoubtedly made more 
money for the commercial growers in Minnesota 
and adjoining states than any other variety. The 
fruit is medium to large in size, and colors up 
to a beautiful red. Quality—Exceptionally 
good. The tree is very hardy and a heavy 
yielder.
