CARE OF NURSERY STOCK 
When the stock is received, open the bundle 
in the shade out of the wind and, if you are 
not ready to plant immediately, heel the roots 
in the ground, soaking them well as you do. 
If well heeled in, they can be kept without 
damage for a reasonable time. Ask for our 
free booklet on the planting and care of nurs- 
ery stock. 

HARALSON 
A Proven Leader in Minnesota 
and the Northwest 
It Has Everything: 
. Color: Bright red. 
Quality: Good. 
Size: Large. 
Season: Late fall. 
Keeping: Excellent until April and May. 
Yield: Yields heavily and often bears fruit the 
second year after planting. 
Hardiness: It is recommended throughout 
Minnesota and is found thriving in Canada. 
THE LEADING COMMERCIAL APPLE 
In addition to being almost a perfect Apple for the 
home orchard HARALSON is being planted exten- 
sively in commercial orchards. Wide-awake planters 
are switching to Haralson. It is the first Apple we have 
ever had that we can sincerely say can be grown on a 
commercial scale in competition with Jonathan and sim- 
ilar Apples shipped into this territory. 
HARALSON IN GREAT DEMAND 
The market demands a good sized, red, long keeping 
Apple. Haralson fully satisfies all these qualifications 
and in addition, stands handling and shipping well. 
BEARS YOUNG 
Haralson is a prolific bearer, and the orchard trees yield 
very young. They often start bearing the second year 
after planting. The tree is strong and they carry heavy 
loads without splitting the branches. Originated and 
introduced by the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm.
