seven NEW APPLE VARIETIES py auserr etter 
Forty-eight years ago Mr. Etter commenced his patient research for new apple varieties 
in his orchards located in a remote section of Humboldt County. In the course of his work 
through the years no less than 15,000 crosses were painstakingly made under carefully 

6-8 grade $2.00 each, 4-6 grade $1.75 each, 
3-4 grade $1.50 each. 
Ten trees assorted: Deduct 15c per tree. 50 trees or more 
assorted: Deduct 40c per tree. 
ALASKA. FTl. The privileged few who have seen and 
tasted this exciting novelty praise its crispy coolness, its 
splendid production and handsome size and shape. Octo- 
ber fruits are ‘banks of snow” against dark green foliage.

The varieties prosaically listed below are the first available fruits of Mr. Etter’s achieve- 
ment ... they are recommended wholeheartedly to those who value the finer things of 
life as new apples of outstanding merit and interest. We suggest that you enjoy the dis- 
tinction of .“"pioneering’’ one or more of the new Etter apples in your home orchard. 
CRIMSON GOLD. FT2. Our first introduction of this apple 
was by way of a jar of delicious golden sliced fruit offered 
by Mr. Etter. The slices were preserved in their original 
form, not frayed or broken. When eaten, the slices are 
crisp, melting and deliciously rich. The medium-sized, 
rounded fruits have a red skin and white flesh, but cook- 
ing turns the flesh a golden yellow, like sliced cling 
peaches. Plant Patent Pending. 
ETTER’S GOLD FT3. Large, plentiful, golden fruits begin to 
mature in October; crisp and delightful to eat even when 
over-ripe; spritely, mild sub-acid flavor and firm flesh 
persist through cooking. A good keeper, Etter’s Gold may 
be stored for early winter desserts. Plant Pat. No. 659. 
HUMBOLDT. FT4. Mr. Etter discovered the striking feature 
of this variety in the spring. He found masses of huge 
fragrant tlowers, flushed pink. Good eating qualities of 
the medium-sized fruits are far above expectancy in a 
variety producing such a splendid crop of flowers. Fruits

maturing in late fall have creamy flesh, tinted pink, show-

JONWIN. FT5. Hybrid of Jonathan and Baldwin, this-de- 
licious red apple combines the best features of both. Jon- 
win develops large-sized fruits of Baldwin and ripens in 
August-September with Jonathan. Fruits are more crisp 
and tender of flesh than either of its parents. Plant Patent 
Pending. 
PINK PEARL. FT6. Remarkably transparent skin glows 
with the color of pink flesh beneath. A startling ‘bouquet’ 
is discovered with the first bite into this medium to large- 
sized apple ripening in September. Pink Pearl makes 
delicious pink apple sauce. Plant Patent Pending. 
WICKSON. FT7. This diminutive apple surpasses mést 
crabapples in color, form and flavor. Masses of brilliant- 
red fruits almost conceal the foliage in fall. The flavor is 
enticing and sugary sweet. A fine small apple for fresh 
eating, delicious spiced, unsurpassed for jam and jelly.
