NEW APPLES Developed by ALBERT ETTER, Pioneer Hybridizer 
Forty-nine years ago Mr. Etter commenced his patient 
research for new apple varieties in his orchards located 
in a remote section of Humboldt 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 vari- 
eties listed below 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. (Plant Pat. No. 699.) The privi- 
leged 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. 
CRIMSON GOLD. FT2. (Plant Patent Pend- 
ing.) Our first introduction of this apple was 
by way of a jar of delicious 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. 
ETTER’S GOLD. FT3. (Plant Pat. No. 659.) 
Large, plentiful, golden fruits begin to ma- 
ture in October; crisp and delightful to eat 
even when over-ripe; spritely, mild sub-acid 
flavor and firm flesh persist through cook- 
ing. A good keeper, Etter's Gold may be 
stored for early winter desserts. 
HUMBOLDT. FT4. (Plant Pat. No. 658.) Mr. 
Etter discovered the striking feature of this 
variety in the spring. He found masses of 
huge fragrant flowers, flushed pink. Good 
48 
eating quality of the medium-sized fruits are 
far above expectancy in a variety produc- 
ing such a splendid crop of flowers. Fruits 
maturing in late fall have creamy flesh, 
tinted pink, showing through transparent 
skin. 
JONWIN. FT5. (Plant Pat. No. 710.) Hybrid 
of Jonathan and Baldwin, this delicious red 
apple combines the best features of both. 
Jonwin develops large-sized fruits of Baldwin 
and ripens in August-September with Jona- 
than. Fruits are more crisp and tender of 
flesh than either of its parents. : 
PINK PEARL. FT6. (Plant Pat. No. 723.) Re- 
markably transparent 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 ripen- 
ing in September. Pink Pearl makes delicious 
pink apple sauce. 
WICKSON. FT7. (Plant Pat. No. 724.) This 
diminutive apple surpasses most crabapples 
in color, form, and flavor. Masses of bril- 
liant-red fruits almost conceal the foliage 
in fall. The flavor is enticing and sugary 
sweet. A fine small apple for fresh eating, 
deliciously spiced, unsurpassed for jam and 
jelly.
