A Tip-Top Baker; Excellent for Pies 
A Very Productive, Annual Bearer 
Minnesota now has its own baking Apple! The Minnesota No. 790, although con- 
sidered good quality for all types of cooking as well as eating out of hand, is especially 
suited for baking. It attains good size, has the proper sugar content, and holds its shape 
while being baked. The Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm has developed in the No. 790 
an Apple which has taken the lead, an Apple which, through co-operative tests with 
Hotel and Restaurant Associations, has proved to be superior to the older, accepted 
baking varieties. 

The No. 790 is a good, consistent cropper of large, firm, dark red Apples. The 
' Apples keep better than many fall Apples and it is a very important addition to the 
home orchard, as well as to the commercial planting.

VICTORY «x x x A Better McIntosh 

Prof. W. H. Alderman says of Minnesota No. 790: “This is a large dark red - 
Apple of the Mammoth Black Twig type. The dessert quality is not high but is 
above average and distinctly better than Rome or Northwestern. One of the 
best for baking and very good for pte or sauce. The tree is productive and an 
excellent grower in nursery and orchard.” 

The Minnesota No. 790 is a beautiful Apple with excellent culinary quality 
and above average dessert quality. Prof. Alderman has said that it will probably 
be ready for introduction in the very near future. Get a head start by pianting 
Minnesota No. 790 this spring.

Named and Introduced 
Under date of October 4, 1946, Prof. Alderman 
said: ““A most attractive Apple of medium size and 
quality. It ripens late and keeps until January. Im- 
portant features are regular annual bearing, bright 
solid, red color and ability to hang to the tree in 
high winds. The oldest trees under test produced 
17 consecutive crops prior to 1946 and this year 
carried a good bloom which was destroyed by a 
freeze.” 
REDWELL’S points of superiority are: 
1. Solid red color. 
Annual bearer. 
Does not cluster nor overload. 
Fruit is of uniform size.

6. Good quality and of the Wealthy type. 
REDWELL is aptly named, is worthy of being 
introduced and should be included in every plant- 
ing, whether it be a commercial orchard or the home 
orchard.

If you like the McIntosh, you will like the Victory even better. Leading fruit grow- 
ers consider Victory to be superior to both McIntosh and Cortland. 
Prof. Alderman says of Victory: “An Apple of McIntosh type but later in season, 
a little more firm in flesh, generally a better color and the fruit is less likely to drop 
before ready for harvest. The picking season is about a week later than McIntosh and 
it keeps at least a month longer in the winter. Not only is it of high dessert quality 
equalling or exceeding McIntosh but it also has excellent culinary qualities for use in 
baking, pie-making, Apple sauce or uncooked in fruit salads.” 
The American Fruit Grower magazine says: “The Victory resembles its well known 
parent, the McIntosh, in shape, color, and quality, but it has considerable advantage 
over McIntosh because it is free of the defects of McIntosh which make it (McIntosh) 
of little value for growing in the Middle West. The tree is hardier, bears regularly, has 
a record of 73 per cent crop each year for nine years. The fruit hangs better and has a 
short non-puncture stem. It also 
is less susceptible to Apple scab 
than McIntosh. The tree blooms 
a little later. The fruit matures 
on the tree a week later and 
keeps longer than either McIn- 
tosh or Cortland. The flesh and 
flavor are similar to McIntosh f 
except that it is a little more fa@ 
acid, and therefore. is a better B 
Apple for culinary purposes.” 
VICTORY is well named.| 
Plant liberally for the home or 
for market.
