America’s standard of living is the high-

not satisfied with what our grandfathers 
had. We are constantly striving for “some-

grade, home grown fruit from August 
through fall, winter and the following 
spring. They are sturdy and hardy. They

1 “Winter Wealthy” 
(Minnesota No. 638) 

HARALSON Kk «At the time Haralson was introduced, Professor Alder- 
man 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 arti- 
ficial refrigeration.” 
Since it was originated, over 25 years ago, Haralson has justified every claim made by 
Professor Alderman. Further description, page 6. Prices, page 29-A.

This has been called “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. Evidence in support 
of this view is found in its con- 
sistent 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, har- 
vest usually coming about the mid- 
dle of October. It is classed as a 
winter apple but is not a long keep- 
er. In common storage it should be 
used before the end of January. 
No. 638 has not failed to produce 
a crop in over 20 years. Price, page
