“MINNETONKA 
BEAUTY” Apple 
(Plant Patent No. 474) 
THE MINNETONKA BEAUTY was originated by 
Mr. I. E. Soderlund on his farm at Excelsior, Minn. 
The original tree has been fruiting in Mr. Soderlund’s 
orchard for the past seventeen years. 
MINNETONKA BEAUTY was awarded Plant Patent 
No. 474 and exclusive patent rights have been pur- 
chased from Mr. Soderlund. 
MINNETONKA BEAUTY is undoubtedly the most 
promising Apple ever introduced in this territory, and 
offers a combination of qualities that we believe no 
other Apple has. 
1. Quality. Exceptionally good, pleasantly mild sub- 
acid. Quality is considered as good as Delicious. 
2. Hardiness. Very hardy. The original. tree, which 
is not on a favorable location, is thrifty and has 
been bearing regularly the past seventeen years. 
Color. Bright, attractive, medium red. 
Season. Ripens September 20th to 30th. 
Keeping Qualities. An exceptionally good keeper, 
keeping into the spring months under average stor- 
age conditions.

BAILEY’S MINNETONKA BEAUTY APPLE. 
Plant Patent No. 474. Prof. W. H. Alderman, Chief 
of the Division of Horticulture, University Farm, St. 
Paul, Minn., says: “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 excellent in quality. The original tree, 
although not growing under the most favorable con- 
ditions, 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 keepiny ability 
of this variety, as it is grown by the originator, make 
it appear to be an Apple of considerable promise for 
this region.” 
We feel that MINNETONKA BEAUTY has excep- 
tional qualities and we do not hesitate to recommend 
that every fruit grower try at least a few of these trees. 
MINNETONKA BEAUTY is a patented plant (No. 
474) and propagation is not permitted by anyone ex- 
cept the J. V. BAILEY NURSERIES.
