Prof. W. H. Alderman, Chief 
of the Division of Horticulture, 
University Farm, St. Paul, Minn., 
says: “The Minnetonka Beauty 
is a late winter Apple of rather 
exceptional dessert quality and 
an excellent keeper. It is above 
medium in size, attractively col- 
ored, red over yellow, with firm 
but tender flesh. It rates excel- 
lent in quality. The original tree, 
although not growing under the 
most favorable conditions, ap- 
pears to be vigorous and produc: 
tive, and has been an annual 
bearer. The young trees under 
better cultural conditions are 
making an excellent growth and 
are producing fruit this year at 
a very early age. The produc- 
tiveness, high quality and long 
keeping ability of this variety as 
it is grown by the originator, 
make it appear to be an Apple 
of considerable promise for this 
region,”
