likely to drop before ready for harvest. 
The picking season is about a week fol- 
lowing McIntosh and it keeps at least ie _ 
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.” 
The American Fruit Grower magazine says: ‘““The Victory resembles its well known parent, the McIntosh, in shape, 
color, and quality, but it has considerable advantage over McIntosh because it is free of the defects of McIntosh which 
make it (McIntosh) of little value for growing in the middlewest. The tree is hardier, bears regularly, has a record of 
73 per cent crop each year for nine years. The fruit hangs better and has a short non-puncture stem. It also is less 
susceptible to apple scab than McIntosh. The tree blooms a little later. The fruit matures on the tree a week later 
and keeps longer than either McIntosh or Cortland. The flesh and flavor are similar to McIntosh except that it is a 
little more acid, and therefore, is a better apple for culinary purposes.’ Price, page 29-B. 
VICTORY is well named. Plant liberally for the home or for market.

FIRESIDE «*x* A “Super Delicious” 
Minnesota has achieved another remarkable success in fruit breeding! The State Fruit 
Breeding Farm has succeeded in developing a new Delicious apple, hardy enough to 
thrive in this northern country. As most people know, the common Delicious apple is 
not hardy or dependable in any but favorable climates. Think what this means! You 
can now have an apple superior to Delicious in flavor and hardy enough to grow and 
thrive so much farther north. 
Its points of superiority are: 
Better quality even than the old Delicious. 
Hardy enough to thrive far north of Delicious district. 
Tree large, vigorous, and strongly branched. 
Fruit large, bright attractive red over a greenish yellow ground. 
Keeps all winter. 
. Annual bearer and fruit hangs well. 
Prof. Alderman says of Fireside: ‘This large long-keeping winter apple can unques- 
tionably be rated as one of the highest quality varieties produced at the Minnesota Fruit 
Breeding Farm. The flavor would be rated as rich, sub-acid, almost sweet; the flesh is 
crisp, firm and juicy, and it never develops the bland, dry characteristics of some highly 
flavored apples at the close of their season.” 
We believe Fireside will become the favorite and most popular apple in the orchard.
