THE LEADING COMMERCIAL APPLE 
In addition to being almost a perfect Apple for the home 
orchard, Haralson is being planted extensively in commercial 
orchards. Wide-awake planters are switching to Haralson. 
HARALSON IN GREAT DEMAND 
The market demands a good sized, red, long keeping Apple. 
Haralson fully satisfies all these qualifications and in addition, 
stands handling and shipping well. » Haralson 
BEARS YOUNG 
Haralson is a prolific bearer, and the orchard trees yield very 
young. They often start bearing the second year after planting. 
The tree is strong and they carry heavy loads without splitting 
the branches. Originated and introduced by the Minnesota 
State Fruit Breeding Farm. 
JEWEL WINTER. A very attractive, bright ‘red 
Apple. Quality good, keeping until mid-winter. 
A good commercial and home orchard Apple. 
JONATHAN. Well known variety recommended 
only for sheltered locations, for regions south of 
St. Paul. Dark red, high quality, and a very good 
keeper. 
MALINDA, One of the hardiest longer keeping 
Apples that can be grown in this locality. Flesh is 
yellowish white, juicy, and keeps until late winter. 
Good quality. 
McINTOSH. Originally an eastern Apple but has 
been found to be hardy in Minnesota and the North- 
west. A deep red Apple of exceptionally high qual- 
ity. Ripens October 1st, and keeps until mid-winter. 






















Prairie 
Spy 
MELBA. A McIntosh seedling from Canada. 
Attractive, bright red color. Season, a little later 
than Duchess. Quality good. 
NORTHWESTERN GREENING. A late 
winter Apple. The tree is a vigorous grower and 
fairly hardy. Fruit is very large, yellowish green 
when ripe. An excellent pie and baking Apple.. 
PATTEN’S GREENING. This Apple is pop- 
ular on account of its hardiness and heavy yield- 
ing qualities. Fruit is large, green with pink 
blush. Tree is thrifty and grows in a spreading 
form. Season is September. ; 
PRAIRIE SPY. New—Long Keeping—High 
Quality. Prairie Spy is a very promising Apple 
and in our opinion is probably one of the best 
of the recent introductions of the Minnesota State 
Fruit Breeding Farm. It is a medium to large 
Apple, ripening late, and an exceptionally good 
keeper. It keeps, with ordinary storage, even 
better than Haralson. Fruit is completely covered 
with carmine-red stripes and is very attractive. 
Quality good. The tree apparently is perfectly 
hardy but we do not recommend plantiag it in 
Northern Minnesota, as the season is not long 
None ie enough to properly mature the fruit.
