Forty-eight years ago Mr. Etter commenced his patient research for new 
apple varieties in his orchards located in a remote section of Hum- 
boldt County. In the course of his work through the years no less than 
15,000 crosses were made under pre-evaluated conditions, and more 
than 2,000 varieties placed under observation. The varieties listed be- 
low are the first fruits of his achievement ... they are recommended 
wholeheartedly as new apples of outstanding merit and interest. We 
suggest that you enjoy the distinction of ‘‘pioneering’’ one or more of 
the new Etter apples in your home orchard.

ALASKA. FTI. The privileged few who have 
seen and tasted this exciting novelty praise 
its crispy coolness, its splendid production 
and handsome size and shape. October fruits 
are “banks of snow” against dark green 
foliage. Plant Patent Pending. 
CRIMSON GOLD. FT2. Our first introduction 
of this apple was by way of a jar of deli- 
cious golden sliced fruit offered by Mr. Etter. 
The slices were preserved in their original 
form, not frayed or broken. When eaten, the 
slices are crisp, melting and deliciously rich. 
The medium-sized, rounded fruits have a red 
skin and white flesh, but cooking turns the 
flesh a golden yellow, like sliced cling 
peaches. Plant Patent Pending. 
ETTER’S GOLD. FT3. Large, plentiful, golden 
fruits begin to mature in October; crisp and 
delightful to eat even when over-ripe; sprite- 
ly, mild sub-acid flavor and firm flesh persist 
through cooking. A good keeper, Etter’s Gold 
may be stored for early winter desserts. 
Plant Pat. No. 659. 
HUMBOLDT.‘FT4. Mr. Etter discovered the 
striking feature of this variety in the spring. 
He found masses of huge fragrant flowers, 
flushed pink. .Good eating qualities of the

medium-sized fruits are far above expec- 
tancy in a variety producing such a splen- 
did crop of flowers. Fruits maturing in late 
fall have creamy flesh, tinted pink, showing 
through transparent skin. Plant Pat. No. 658. 
JONWIN. FTS5. Hybrid of Jonathan and Bald- 
win, this delicious red apple combines the 
best features of both. Jonwin develops large- 
sized fruits of Baldwin and ripens in August- 
September with Jonathan. Fruits are more 
crisp and tender of flesh than either of its 
parents. Plant Patent No. 710. 
FITS JONWIN 
PINK PEARL. FT6. Remarkably transpar- 
ent skin glows with the color of pink flesh 
beneath. A startling ‘bouquet’ is discovered 
with the first bite into this medium to large- 
sized apple ripening in September. Pink 
Pearl makes delicious pink apple sauce. 
Plant Patent Pending. 
WICKSON. FT7. This diminutive apple sur- 
passes most crabapples in coler, form, and 
flavor. Masses of brilliant-red fruits almost 
conceal the foliage in fall. The flavor is en- 
ticing and sugary sweet. A fine small apple 
for fresh eating, deliciously spiced, unsur- 
passed for jam and jelly. Plant Patent'!Pend-
