Prof. W. R. Leslie of Morden, 
Canada, writes of the work of 
Prof. Alderman and his staff: 
“The greatest acclaim has come to 
their new fruits of superior quality 
that have been named and made 
available to the planting public.” 
Notable Achievement 
Prof. Alderman, and his staff at 
the Minnesota State Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm, have done a notable 
work in developing new, hardy, 
high quality fruits for America. 
The Stevenson Medal is well de- 
served. Among the new fruits 
created are the splendid new Ap- 
ples listed on these pages as 3-Star 
(4%). These varieties will 
revolutionize Apple growing just 
as Latham has revolutionized 
Raspberry growing. 
Prof, Alderman justly says: 
“Minnesota now has Apples that 
will compete favorably with any 
in the world.” 
MINNESOTA No. 714.4% %A New Harvest Apple 
Offered for the First Time 
We are very glad to offer for the first time another new Apple from the Minnesota 
Fruit Breeding Farm. The Minn. No. 714 is an early summer Apple of very high 
quality and is destined to become a leader among summer Apples. Prof. Alderman says 
of Minn. No. 714: “A large and 
attractive early summer Apple of 
top quality for dessert or cooking. 
It seems to be slow in coming into 
full production in southern Min- 
nesota, but young trees bear heav- 
ily in the northern part of the 
States: 
The Minn. No. 714 will replace 
such varieties as Yellow Trans- 
parent, and belong in every plant- 
ing—both for home or for market. 
Order early—stock limited this 
year.
