APPLE TREES 

BELOW WE LIST 
THE LEADING OLDER VARIETIES 
ANOKA A very hardy tree and an early cropper. Fruit lacks color, 
flavor and keeping quality. Not recommended where 
Duchess or Beacon can be grown. 
3 CORTLAND Js quite similar to its parent McIntosh but is more 
i uniform in 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. 
RED DUCHESS £¢ has al! the good qualities of the old Duchess 
and in addition has attractive bright red color. 
Red Duchess makes a delicious sauce with a flayor all its own. Com- 
mands a better price on the early market than common Duchess. 
HARALSON tek & (Inthe 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. Color cut, page 4. 
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. 
WEALTHY 42 old variety with good color and flavor, a very 
good early fall variety. 
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.

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. 
VIRGINIA 4 good crab apple of 
Transcendent type. The 
tree is principally recommended for top- 
working. The trunk is strong and the 
crotches wide spreading.

CRAB APPLES 
A comparatively new and very unusual Crab apple. It has 
DOLGO been valle the “Perfect Crab.” The fruit is strikingly 
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. 
PIOTOSH [his 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.” 
RED RIVER CRAB 4 splendid introduction from the North 
Dakota 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. 
WHITNEY “2 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.
