Beacon 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, refrigerators and such things are so 
efficient. That’s why we have improved hybrid corn and mar- 
velous baby beef.

tender for tough climates. Untold thousands of Delicious, Jona-

fruit from August through fall, winter and the following spring.

MINJON &&*& 4 “MINNESOTA JONATHAN.” 
(Minnesota No. 700) 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 attrac- 
BLY : tive Apples—a medium size—a brilliant red and all-red. It re-

No. 700) - than” 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

VICTORY xx** Leading Fruit Growers consider 
(Minnesota No. 396) this New Apple is superior to 
both McIntosh and Cortland. Professor Alderman says of 
Victory: “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 pick- 
ing season is 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.” 
Fruit Growers plant Victory because it is better quality than 
McIntosh-—it hangs better to the tree—it has a very short 
stem which does not puncture the fruit when packed as Mc- 
Intosh stems often do—it is better for baking or cooking and 
it ie altogether more profitable and satisfactory. Price, page
