DEPENDABLE NURSERY STOCK i 
BEACON 
(Minnesota No. 423) 
An Early All-Red Eating Apple that Tops 
; The Early Fall Market 
This variety has rapidly pushed ahead until 
it has now established itself as the leader 
among all early fall varieties for the middle 
west. Note these points of superiority: 
TREES—Vigorous, productive, hardy. 
SEASON—Late Duchess. Keeps one month 
after picking, without cold storage. 
FRUIT—Highly colored, all red. Better eat- 
ing quality than Duchess and an excellent 
cooking apple. 
We have a considerable number of Beacon 
in our own orchards—several trees 18 to 20 
years old. We are completely ‘sold’? on them 
and are planting heavily. They are depend- 
able bearers—one can take plenty of time in 
marketing, as they keep well, and they top 
the market. 
DANIELS RED DUCHESS 
Still the Best Early Apple 
A remarkable early red apple. An improved 
“bud sport” of the Duchess of Oldenburg. 
The Daniels Red Duchess is an early red 
apple that seems destined to entirely displace 
the old Duchess of Oldenburg. It possesses 
all of the good qualities of the older variety 
and in addition that all important, price com- 
manding quality of high red color. It comes 
when red apples are scarce—and always sells 
at top market prices. 
We know of no better real early ‘‘summer’” 
apple for general commercial or home grow- 
ing in this section of the country. 
(On pages 9 and 18 of this little booklet 
will be found many suggestions helpful to 
we ome gardener in meeting these prob- 
ems. 
Winter Protection—With the exception of 
tender roses and perennials little thought 
need be given to winter protection of the 
ornamental varieties we list in this booklet. 
Rabbits and mice constitute the most com- 
mon Winter hazards. Suggestions for their 
control will be found on page 10. 
Subsequent Care—No planting can be at 
tts best if neglected, but, if given a small 
amount of intelligent care, any planting 
should furnish continuous and delightful 
sources of beauty and contribute much to 
* one’s health and enjoyment of life.

planting is entirely 
satisfactory. The trees 
should be set about 2 
inches deeper than they grew in the nur- 
sery row. The trees are usually arranged 
in a square pattern, each tree equally dis- 
tant from four others in the corner of a 
square. By way of conserving space and 
getting the fullest use of the ground (‘‘two 
acres in one’’) when the trees are young, 
it is a common practice to plant a tempo-

“CAN'T WAITERS” 
Apple and Plum Trees 
For the Man Who Can’‘t Wait 
So, so often people ask us for trees that will 
bear right away. “I must have something that 
will ‘fruit right away—I’m getting ‘old and 
can’t wait forever,’ is what they say. SO, 
we're growing for the “can’t waiter” an extra 
large, fine transplanted tree all ready to go 
to work for you—and for lack of a more “pat” 
title we call them our “CAN’T WAITERS.” 
These are not over-grown trees, for an over- 
grown tree left right in the nursery row, will 
not transplant satisfactorily. SO, we take a 
regular ‘finished size’’ tree and transplant it 
into a special field block 4 by 4 feet apart, 
and grow it on a few years more. They’re 
fine, big trees and stand the moving well. 
Many of them have borne already. 
We have a nice block of these in Haralson 
and Dolgo Apple, Underwood Plum, and a few 
others in limited numbers. 
They are pretty large to ship, so we suggest 
delivery or pick up service. 
They are priced at $3.00, $4.00 and $5.00 each, 
depending upon size. 
But better order early — they are really 
- _ ERICKSON 
The Biggest Red Apple 
The largest early red apple, and possibly the 
largest red apple now highly recommended 
for planting. Bears at a very early age. Be- 
cause of its extra large size it is always in 
strong demand on the early market. Extreme- 
ly hardy, and a regular producer. Good 
quality. If you’re looking for spor ether te find 
it in erioksOn-cand you'll find early market 
high profits, too! 
HARALSON 
(Minn. No. 90) 
The Most Widely Planted 
Hardy, Red, Winter Apple 
Haralson has really “arrived.’’ Because it 
was one of the earlier Minnesota introduc- 
tions, and because it has proven itself so 
valuable it is now one of our most extensively 
planted varieties. 
Here are some of Haralson’s outstanding 
good points: Very hardy ... extremely pro- 
ductive . bears, and heavily, at a very 
young age ...red... good size... sticks to 
the tree until picked ... good in quality for 
dessert purposes, and an excellent cooker. No 
wonder it is popular! No wonder the home 
gardener enthuses over it, and no wonder the 
commercial grower finds it highly profitable 
and plants more and more of it. You’ll like 
it, too! +. \ 
McINTOSH . 
Quality Supreme 
One of the finest apples grown. Because of 
its brilliant deep red color, delicate flavor, 
crisp snow-white flesh, and distinctly pleasant 
aroma, it is considered by many to be the 
finest dessert apple of its season. McIntosh 
has proven eminently successful throughout 
the Southern part of the state and is at pres- 
ent one of the Northwest’s most popular 
varieties. Season October to January. 
DANNY SAYS: 
If ‘‘an apple a day keeps 
the Doctor away”... then 
plant some Daniels apple 
trees and grow your own 
“Doctor chasers.” They 
bring fun, health and 
profit.
