WEALTHY 
THE MONEY-MAKER 
Wealthy is still our leading Apple of its season. 
Ripens in early September and keeps until the 
holidays. Wealthy has undoubtedly made more 
money for the commercial growers in Minnesota 
and adjoining states than any other variety. The 
fruit is medium to large in size, and colors up to 
a beautiful red. Quality—exceptionally good. 
The tree is very hardy and a heavy yielder. 
WEDGE. An Apple of about the same season 
as Wealthy. An exceptionally good Apple for bak- 
ing and. the demand from restaurants and other 
sources is increasing for this particular Apple. 
Fruit is medium to large and of uniform size. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT. An old favorite. 
Ripens soon after Duchess. Very hardy, produc- 
tive, and high quality. 


Fine Top Quality 
ev APPLES 
FIRESIDE (Minn. No. 993) 
This large, long keeping winter Apple can unquestionably be 
rated as one of the highest quality varieties produced at the 
Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. The flavor would be rated as 
a rich, sub-acid, almost sweet; the flesh is crisp, firm and juicy, 
and it never develops the bland, dry characteristics of some 
highly flavored Apples at the close of their season. This Apple 
does not color as highly as could be desired north of St. Paul. 
Tests in regions south of the Fruit Breeding Farm seem fo 
indicate that it will develop better color as it is taken southward 
and eastward. It is highly promising as a variety for home use, 
and in locations where satisfactory color is developed, it should 
become an outstanding commercial variety. 
MINNESOTA No. 790 
This is a very large dark red Apple and is one of the few 
Apples capable of being grown in Minnesota which has baking 
qualities equal to the famous Rome Beauty. It is superior to 
the Rome Beauty and other culinary Apples such as North- 
western Greening or Patten Greening. 
MINNESOTA No. 978 
We offer this for the first time this year. An Apple of about 
the Wealthy season but keeps better. Color and quality very 
good. Fruit does not bunch up, resulting in uniform, medium 
to large size fruit. A very regular annual bearer and fruit clings 
to tree until thoroughly colored. 

CHESTNUT CRAB APPLE 
(Minn. No. 240) 
This is a large-sized Crab Apple ripening about 
the middle of September. It has exceptionally 
high quality for eating fresh and is very good 
for pickles and sauce. The trees are very hardy 
and unusually productive. 
MINJON 
An Apple closely resembling Jonathan in size, 
color and form. It is very hardy, very produc- 
tive and ripens soon after Wealthy. Good eating 
and cooking quality. Rapidly becoming popular 
for commercial planting. 
VICTORY 
A great improvement over McIntosh. Victory 
is hardier than McIntosh or Cortland, is more 
resistant to scab, keeps longer, better color, and 
quality is equal or better than either of these 
varieties. A very promising introduction for 
both the home orchard and commercial plantings. 
REDWELL (Minn. No. 638) 
We believe the Redwell to be the best of the 
newer Apples, of the Wealthy season, and it 
promises to replace the Wealthy. Hangs to the 
tree and colors well. It is ready to eat as soon 
as picked and will keep until February or March.
