FIRESIDE xxx A “Super Delicious” 
Minnesota has achieved another remarkable success in fruit breeding! The State Fruit 
Breeding Farm has succeeded in developing a new Delicious Apple, hardy enough to 
thrive in this northern country. As most people know, the common Delicious Apple is 
not hardy or dependable in any but favorable climates. Think what this means! You 
can now have an Apple superior to Delicious in flavor and hardy enough to grow and 
thrive so much farther north. 
Its points of superiority are: As 
Better quality even than the old Delicious. — Sn 
Hardy enough to thrive far north of Delicious district. 
Tree large, vigorous, and strongly branched. 
Fruit large, bright attractive red over a greenish yellow ground. 
Keeps all winter. 
_ Annual bearer and fruit hangs well. 
Prof. Alderman says of Fireside: “This large long-keeping winter Apple can unques- 
tionably be rated as one of the highest quality varieties produced at the Minnesota ae: 
Breeding Farm. The flavor would be rated as rich, sub-acid, almost sweet; the fles Be 
crisp, firm and juicy, and it never develops the bland, dry characteristics of some highly 
flavored Apples at the close of their season. 
We believe Fireside will become the favorite and most popular Apple in the orchard.
