DELICIOUS FRUITS 
FOR YARD OR GARDEN 
Know the Joy of Harvesting Your Own Fruits Off of Your Own Place— 
Fruits Are Easy to Grow 
Apples 
The planting of fruit trees and berry bushes 
in the home yard is a practical and worthwhile 
investment. The fruit trees not only give de- 
sirable shade, but further repay the planter 
for their modest cost by their beautiful masses 
of spring flowers and their yield of fruit. 
Years of experience in growing fruit in Minne- 
sota permits us to recommend the following 
varieties as reliable and sturdy sorts for our 
Northern conditions. We welcome your in- 
quiries as to fruit culture and care.

the keeping and handling quality so different 
from most early apples, make Beacon the out- 
standing early apple for home or for market.

varieties for the commercial orchard.

lemon-acid in flavor. Entirely different from 
any other crab apple and far superior for 
jellies, producing a transparent bright red jelly 
of high quality. The fruit is distinctly beauti- 
ful, borne in great profusion. Dolgo is a 
beautiful lawn tree, in addition to producing 
fruit of superior quality. It is a striking thing 
to see the masses of red fruit clustered along 
the branches.
