Victory Orchards 
for immediate and long-time needs. 
A good orchard cuts doctor bills. 
BELOW WE LIST 
THE LEADING OLDER VARIETIES 
ANOKA 4 very hardy tree and an early cropper. Fruit lacks color, flavor and 
keeping quality. Not recommended where Duchess or Beacon can 
be grown. Prices, page 29-A. 
Is quite similar to its parent McIntosh but is more uniform in 
CORTLAND size, has more color, and the red is lighter and brighter. The 
taste is much like that of McIntosh, the flesh is firmer, and the apples hang better 
to the tree. Prices, page 29-A. 
It has all the good qualities of the old Duchess and in addi- 
RED DUCHESS tion has attractive bright red color. Red Duchess makes a 
delicious sauce with a flavor all its own. Commands a better price on the early 
market than common Duchess. Prices, page 29-A. 
HARALSON %& %& t In the past ten years it has been the most 
popular apple in this district. It is a hardy 
tree, stands heat and cold. It has strong crotches, seldom splits or 
breaks. It bears early, often the third year after planting. It bears 
heavily, in fact, often needs thinning: Finally, it is a large, all-red apple 
that keeps throughout the winter in ordinary storage. It’s a grand all- 
purpose apple for home or for market. Plant liberally of Haralson— 
it’s a sure bet. Price, page 29-A. 
NORTHWEST GREENING The main qualifications are 
that it is a good cooking 
apple and keeps well. However, Haralson and Prairie Spy have these 
qualifications and have color and good eating quality besides. Prices, 
page 29-A. 
WEALTHY 42 old variety with good color and flavor, a very 
good early fall variety. Prices, page 29-A. 
WEDGE x*x* Wedge was introduced about 16 years ago but 
Haralson “stole the show” at that time and 
Wedge was not widely planted. However, it is now growing in popu- 
larity as a good market apple before Haralson is ready. It is a beau- 
tiful apple—especially sought by restaurants and hotels, for baking. 
The Excelsior Fruit Growers’ Association has found Wedge a ready 
seller at a premium over common sorts. The tree is so vigorous and 
productive that it is proving to be a sure money maker. Prices, page 
CRAB APPLES 
A comparatively new and very unusual Crab apple. It has 
DOLGO been called the “Perfect Crab.” The fruit Seeger 
beautiful, bright fiery red, borne in great profusion. It jells perfectly— 
even when dead ripe. Dolgo is free from blight and is rapidly dis- 
placing the old varieties such as Transcendent and Hyslop. Dolgo 
makes a beautiful lawn tree and may be used on the home grounds 
instead of Mountain Ash. Prices, page 29-A. 
PIOTOSH This is a new introduction from Canada. The Morden 
Experiment Station in Canada writes of the Piotosh: 
“T understand it is being planted rather widely as a commercial crab, 
being a good preserver, good for jelly and also fair as dessert. It is 
medium large, attains a bright red color, making it very attractive. 
Piotosh is a distinct improvement over Whitney. With us it has fruited 
more heavily, is better quality, more attractive, and hardier.” Price, 
page 29-A. 
RED RIVER CRAB 4 splendid introduction from the North 
D 
akota Agricultural Station, being a cross 
between Dolgo and Delicious, it combines the beauty, color and life 
of the Dolgo with the sweet flavor of Delicious. Prices, page 29-A. 
WHITN EY An old favorite, a large, red, mild-flavored crab, ex- 
cellent for eating, canning and pickles. Perfectly 
hardy, never blights, and is a heavy cropper. It ripens early. Price, 
page 29-A,

The United States Victory Garden Program is a long range program working 
for improved health and better eating habits after, as well as during, the war. 
Concerning farm fruit gardens it was recommended that the home planting 
of fruit be included in a well-balanced national program of food production both

Apples Save Dentists Bills 
The School of Dentistry of the University of Kentucky recently 
made the statement that chewing a firm apple was 96% effective in 
cleansing the mouth, whereas using a toothbrush 3 minutes was 
only 65% effective. Avoid dentist bills by providing plenty of 
apples for the kiddies. . 


Apples for Better Health 
Dr. Ira Manville, Director of Nutritional Research, Oregon Uni- 
versity, stated that apples contribute Vitamins A, B, C and G, and 
pointed out 12 specific ways in which apples contribute to our well 
being. He says: ‘Fruits such as apples are really more than food. 
They are true agents of health endowed with prophylactic and pro- 
tective powers.” The old saying that “an apple a day keeps the 
doctor away” has a definite foundation in fact. Keep kiddies sup- 
plied with apples. 

HIBERNAL - 
VIRGINIA 
FOR TOP WORKING 
These two varieties are ideal for this pur- 
pose. Both have been tested and approved 
by the State Horticultural Department 
When buying trees for top-working be sure, 
you buy trees on Hardy Northern Root 
Stocks, as, of course, a Hibernal or Virginia, 
if on a common root, would have no ad- 
vantage over any common tree in the trade, 
and there would be no object in top-work- 
ing. 
HIBERNAL A large green apple, on- 
ly suitable for cooking, 
but the tree is ideal for top-working because 
of its strong, sturdy trunk and crotches. 
Prices, page 29-A. 
VIRGINIA 4 gecd crab apple of 
Transcendent type. The 
tree is principally recommended for top- 
working. The trunk is strong and the 
crotches wide spreading. Prices, page 29-A.
