M i N N ETON KA B EAUTY Plant Patent No. 474 
From the State of Minnesota has come another great Apple. We are 
proud to offer to our customers for the first time the new Minnetonka 
Beauty. This new Apple, awarded Plant Patent No. 474, is an Apple that 
everyone is going to want. It has exceptionally high dessert quality—is 
attractively colored—keeps way into the spring—and the tree is extremely 
hardy. 
The Minnetonka Beauty is a winter Apple, ripening between September 
20th and 30th. It is also an annual bearer, the original tree having borne 
regularly for the past 13 years. 
Every planter will want the Minnetonka Beauty—it is truly a great 
Apple. Plan to plant this spring—and order early while all sizes are 
available. 
Prof. Alderman Says of Minnetonka Beauty 
“The Minnetonka Beauty is a late winter Apple of rather exceptional 
dessert quality and an excellent keeper. It is above medium in size, attrac- 
tively colored, red over yellow, with firm but tender flesh. It rates excel- 
lent in quality. The original tree, although not growing under the most 
favorable conditions, appears to be vigorous and productive, and has been 
an annual bearer. The young trees under better cultural conditions are 
making an excellent growth and are producing fruit this year at a very 
early age. The productiveness, high quality and long keeping ability of 
this variety as it is grown by the originator, make it appear to be an apple 
of considerable promise for this region.”
