FIRESIDE *« * x 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 north- 
ern 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: 
Better quality even than the old Delicious. 
Hardy enough to thrive far north of Delicious district. 
Tree large, vigorous, and strongly branched.

Annual bearer and fruit hangs well. 
Prof. Alderman says of Fireside: “This large long-keeping winter Apple can un- 
questionably be rated as one of the highest quality varieties produced at the Minne- 
sota Fruit Breeding Farm. The flavor would be rated as rich, sub-acid, almost sweet; 
the flesh is 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. 
Exceptionally High Quality 
Prof. W. R. Leslie, Supt. of the Dominion Experiment Station, Morden, Mani- 
toba, Canada, says of Fireside: “Fruit large, bright medium red, lightly striped with 
darker red; skin medium; flesh yellowish, medium coarse, medium tender and juicy; 
flavor mild sub-acid, very rich and pleasant; quality unexcelled for dessert purposes.”
