18 THE DANIELS NURSERY 
BEACON 
(Minnesota No. 423) 
An Early All-Red Eating Apple That Tops 
The Early Fall Market 
This variety has rapidly pushed ahead until 
it has now established itself as the leader among 
all early fall varieties for the middle west. 
Note these points of superiority: 
TREES—Vigorous, productive, hardy. 
SEASON—Late Duchess. Keeps one month 
after picking, without cold storage. 
FRUIT—Highly colored, all red. Better eating 
quality than Duchess and an excellent cooking 
apple. 
We have a considerable number of Beacon in 
our own orchards—several trees 18 to 20 years 
old. We are completely ‘sold’ on them and 
are planting heavily.: They are dependable 
bearers—one can take plenty of time in market- 
ing, as they keep well, and they top the market. 
DANIELS RED DUCHESS 
Still the Best Early Apple 
A remarkable early red apple. An improved 
“bud sport’? of the Duchess of Oldenburg. 
The Daniels Red Duchess is an early red apple 
that seems destined to entirely displace the old 
Duchess of Oldenburg. It possesses all of the 
good qualities of the older variety and in 
addition that all important, price commanding 
quality of high red color. It comes when red 
apples are scarce—and always sells at top mar- 
ket prices. 
We know of no better real early “summer” 
apple for general commercial or home growing 
in this section of the country. 
ERICKSON 
The Biggest Red Apple 
The largest early red apple, and possibly the 
largest red apple now highly recommended for 
planting. Bears at a very early age. Because 
of its extra large size it is always in strong 
demand on the early market. Extremely hardy, 
and a regular producer. Good quality. If you’re 
looking for size—you’ll find it in Erickson— 
and you'll find early market high profits, too! 
HARALSON 
(Minnesota No. 90) 
The Most Widely Planted 
Hardy, Red, Winter Apple 
Haralson has really ‘‘arrived.” Because it was 
one of the earlier Minnesota introductions, and 
because it has proven itself so valuable it is 
now one of our most extensively planted 
varieties. 
Here are some of Haralson’s outstanding good 
points: Very hardy .. . extremely productive 
. bears, and heavily, at a very young age 
...red... good size ... sticks to the tree 
until picked ... good in quality for dessert 
purposes, and an excellent cooker. No wonder 
it is popular! No wonder the home gardener 
enthuses over it, and no wonder the commercial 
grower finds it highly profitable and plants 
more and more of it. You’ll like it, too!

DANNY SAYS: 
If ‘fan apple a day keeps 
the Doctor away”... then 
plant some Daniels apple 
trees and grow your own 
“Doctor chasers.” They 
bring fun, health and profit. 


McINTOSH 
Quality Supreme 
One of the finest apples grown. Because of 
its brilliant deep red color, delicate flavor, crisp 
snow-white flesh, and distinctly pleasant aroma, 
it is considered by many to be the finest dessert 
apple of its season. McIntosh has proven emi- 
nently successful throughout the Southern part 
of the state and is at present one of the North- 
west’s most popular varieties. Season October 
to January. 
NORTHWEST GREENING 
The One Best Winter Greening 
The best and longest keeping of the green- 
ings. A splendidly formed, bright green fruit. 
Should be in every orchard for, even in ordi- 
nary storage, they keep well all winter and in 
a good vegetable cellar sometimes on into the 
summer. One of the leading and most profitable 
commercial varieties in the Southern part of 
Minnesota. Unexcelled for pies and baking. 
PRAIRIE SPY 
(Minnesota No. 1007) 
Hardy, Red, High Quality Winter Apple 
Here is another outstanding origination of 
the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. As 
the name indicates, Prairie Spy, has many of 
the fine characteristics of that famous old apple 
of the East, The Northern Spy. It has aptly 
been described as “A large red apple with 
quality equal to any late winter variety regard- 
less of where grown.” 
High points of Prairie Spy’s claims to fame 
are: 
_The fruit is large, attractive red, exceptionally 
high quality, long keeper, clings to the tree 
until picked. A true winter apple. 
The tree is vigorous, productive and hardy, 
except in highly unfavorable locations. In 
northern areas where growing season is very 
short the tree holds up but fruit colors poorly. 
Does excellently as far north as the Twin Cities. 
WEALTHY 
Minnesota’s Most Famous Apple 
The old favorite fall apple of corn and pump- 
kin time! Probably no eating apple is more 
popular and more loved than Wealthy, and. 
certainly no fruit raises more nostalgic mem- 
ories in those who have left Minnesota. And 
no wonder, for Wealthy’s appetizing red appear- 
ance, its crisp, white, juicy flesh and sprightly 
flavor have endeared it to many. 
In spite of all the fine new varieties—Wealthy 
retains its popularity and will be largely planted 
for years to come!
