Early Apple 
Benjamin F, Dunn, Past President, Minnesota State 
Horticultural Society, writes of Beacon: “Commercial 
and home orchardists are planting Beacon because it 
is a beautiful red Apple that outeats, outsells and out- 
keeps its seasonal rival, Duchess. It cooks well and the 
trees are a pleasure to grow for they are hardy, vigor- 
ous and productive.”

New Red Early Apple 
For Home or for Market 
Beacon is early, but unlike most early 
Apples, it is not quickly perishable. Even 
though it ripens with or just a few days 
Jater than Duchess, it keeps easily into the 
Wealthy season. This good handling and 
keeping quality, together with all-red color 
make Beacon a very exceptional early 
Apple. 
Prof. Alderman says: 
Prof. Alderman, Chief of Horticulture, 
University of Minnesota, says: “The Bea- 
con Apple is apparently establishing itself 
very satisfactorily throughout Minnesota 
and the surrounding territory. The fact 
that it is very hardy and of early maturity 
makes it a valuable home orchard variety 
in the northern and western parts of the 
state. The commercial growers in the 
southeastern quarter of the state are re- 
porting marked success with Beacon be- 
cause its high color, its dependable bearing 
habit, and its good handling qualities make 
it a good market Apple for the early sea- 
son. 
PRICES OF BEACON 
Beacon Tops Market 
As a market Apple, Beacon is “tops” for 
its season. Its only competition is Duchess 
and very early, green Wealthys. Its color 
has eye appeal and its good quality will 
make repeat sales. It costs no more to 
grow Beacon and it costs much less to sell; 
for the Beacon sells itself. 
Fred Ulrich, prominent fruit grower in 
Olmstead county says of Beacon: “As a 
market Apple for its season it will outsell 
any other variety.” 
Hardy in Far North 
Mark Thompson, Superintendent of the 
Northeast Experiment Station, Duluth, 
Minnesota, writes: “We like Beacon. Its 
appeal is in quality, beauty and coloring.” 
John Buchanan, Nova Scotia, formerly 
Vice President of American Pomological 
Society, writes: “A heavy early bearer.” 
FIRESIDE * * * A “Super Delicious” 
Minnesota has achieved another remarkable success in fruit breeding! The State Fruit Breeding 
Farm has succeeded in developing a new Delicious Apple, hardy enough to thrive in this north- 
ern country. As most people know, the common Delicious Apple is not hardy or dependable in 
Think what this means! You can now have an Apple superior to 
Delicious in flavor and hardy enough to grow and thrive so much farther north.

Prof. Alderman says of Fireside: “This large long-keeping winter Apple can un- 
questionably be rated as one of the highest quality varieties produced at the Minne- 
sota Fruit Breeding Farm. The flavor would be rated as 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.” 
We believe Fireside will become the favorite and most popular Apple in the 
orchard. 
Exceptionally High Quality 
Prof. W. R. Leslie, Supt. of the Dominion Experiment Station, Morden, Mani- 
toba, Canada, says of Fireside: “Fruit large, bright medium red, lightly striped with 
darker red; skin medium; flesh yellowish, medium coarse, medium tender and juicy; 
flavor mild sub-acid, very rich and pleasant; quality unexcelled for dessert purposes.”
