4 THE BOUGHEN NURSERIES 

PIOTET—Possibly, as Dr. Seager Wheeler says, ‘‘The surest apple in 
Sask.’’ We had over a box each on four trees planted four years ago. 
Red and yellow. Only 1-year trees. $1.25. 
JEWEL RIDEAU—Later than above, very nice, sure yielder. Red, good. 
Only 1-year. $1.25. Sold out till fall 1945. 

PARKER—Produced near here. Hardy upright grower. Red cheeked 
apple. Fruit passable to eat now, on Dec. 15; over 2 inches. 2 years. 
$1.25. 
MINNESOTA No. 447—Should be in the small apple class. Longest 
keeper we know. We kept the fruit last year till May 28, merely in a 
paper bag in a cellar cupboard. Crisp, sweet and juicy at that date. 
Yellow and red color. Largest size nearly 214” by 2”. Nota big yielder 
here, but very valuable for keeping quality. 1-year only. Each $1.25. 
VINNOE—A summer apple of good quality from Leningrad. Red 
striped. $1.25. 
APPLES AND CRABS 
ROSTHERN VARIETIES 
It is my opinion and that of many other Horticulturists, that, until it 
was discontinued by order of the Minister of Agriculture, The Rosthern 
Experimental Station was doing outstanding work in finding varieties of 
apples suitable for the Prairie Provinces. The staff there deserves great 
sae for the progress they had made. These varieties proved hardy in 
1943. 
ROSTHERN No. 15—An early green apple. Good yielder, but sour. 
2-year. A good early cooking apple. $1.25. 
CALROS or ROSTHERN No. 1—Very strong upright tree; late large 
red crab. Recommended for its many good points. Every Rosthern 
variety seems to us pretty good and hardy. Surplus. 3-year $1.50. 
ROSTHERN No. 18—Good sized, red fall apple. Very reliable yielder. $1.25 
ROSTHERN No. 19—Yellow, red striped. Good eater. Reliable. 
Each kind, per tree $1.25. |
