Apples 
“The King of All Fruits,’ $500 to $1,000 per acre 
is often obtained in a weil cared for orchard of our 
best varieties. 
Of ail the fruits grown in the Northwest, the apple 
and the demand for them is constantly increasing, 
both for hume use and for shipping. No city garden 
should be without sufficient apple trees to produce 
fruit for home use and the farm: garden can easily be 
made to bring a handsome return for the amount of 
labor necessary by planting a few apple trees of the 
right variety. The following list will be an aid in 
making a selection. 
SUMMER VARIETIES 
Anoka—This bids fair to become the most popular 
of all the new apples. It was introduced in 1918 and 
in 1920 was named Anoka, a Sioux Indian word mean- 
ing ‘‘on both sides.’”” The fruit is 21% inches in diam- 
eter, round, Duchess type of coloring, flesh white, good 
subacid, season September. It is an early and heavy 
bearer under propagation. 
Duchess, Oldenburg—A large 
streaked red on yellow, tender and juicy. 
eooking, very productive. Ripens early in September. 
Yellow Transparent—Medium size, white changing 
to lemon yellow, smooth waxen surface, of good quali- 
ty with crisp flesh. Keeps well for an early apple. 
Ripens in August. 
Erickson—Originated at Aitkin, Minnesota, and pro- 
nounced by leading Horticulturists as the hardiest 
variety known to the apple family. Exceedingly large, 
of splendid flavor, solid bright red color when ripe. 
A hearty bearer, keeps until December. Recommend- 
ed for planting where other varieties freeze out. 
BeasSon—Originated at the University Fruit 
B eediny Farm at Excelsior. Minn. A fine new. ap- 
pie hardy and of high quality. Ripens mid-August 
about the same season as Duchess. Will Keep 
three or four weeks after picking. 
FALL VARIETIES 
Wealthy—Fruit large, red, regular and of the very 
best quality. Tree vigorous and thoroughly hardy and 
beautiful 

bears very young. A good market variety. Season 
October to February. 
- Hibernal—One of the hardiest apples grown. Fruit 
large, handsomely striped, fine for covuking and for 
pies. Perfectly hardy up to the Canadian line. Best 
for top working to winter sorts. Season September 
to November. 
Pattens Greening—Tree extremely hardy. Produc- 
tive and an early bearer. Fruit large, green when 
picked changing to yellow. Fair for eating and ex- 
cellent for cooking. Season September to December. 
Wolf River—An iron-clad that was originated near 
Wolf River, Wisconsin. Fruit is extremely large, 
@reenish yellow, turning to crimson on top, tender and 
juicy. Season September to December. 
WINTER VARIETIES 
Vietory— (Minnesota No. 396)—An Apple of the 
McIntosh type but later in season, a little more 
firm in flesh, generally a better color and the fruit 
is less likely to drop before ready for harvest. The 
picking season is about a week following McIntosh 
and it keeps at least a month longer in the winter. 
Minjon—(Minnesota No. 700)—It is very hardy 
gZrowing and producing far north. A medium size 
—a brilliant red and all-red. It resembles Jona- 
than; in fact, it has been called “Minnesota Jona- 
than”. It bears abundantly and regularly, the 
fruit is distributed evenly over the tree and it 
hangs well until picked. This Apple ripens about 
the time of Wealthy but colors better, hangs bet- 
ter to the tree and brings more money on the mar- 
ket. 
Prairie Spy—This tree was originated and re- 
cently named by the Minnesota Fruit Breeding 
Farm. The fruit is carmine red, keeps all winter, 
is the finest flavored winter arple grown. The tree 
is hardy, productive and #2 good grower. 
Vireside. A large long-keeping winter Apple 
ean unquestionably be rated as one of the highest 
“uality varieties produced at the Minnesota 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 char- 
acteristics of some highly flavored apples at the 
elose of the season. 
Haralson—Best new keeper, originated at Minne- 
sota Fruit Breeding Farm. An early bearing variety 
apple ; 
Fine for § 
Malinda—An irregular but steady grower of about 
the same hardiness as the Wealthy. Fruit medium, 
green, with blush of red. Flesh hard, good grained, 
sub-acid, good flavor. Season October to March. 
Northwest Greening—Tree of Wisconsin origin, vig- 
orous and hardy. Fruit large, nearly round, of green- 
ish yellow color, flesh yellow, fine grained and firm, 
ae smooth and attractive.

Season December to 





HARALSON APPLE 
with a tree of moderate size, roundish, well colored 
with an even red over the entire surface, flesh fine 
grained, tender, juicy, sub-acid, quality good. Keeps 
in common storage until early spring. 
Rhoda (No. 54)—A recent but wonderful addition 
to our ‘‘Perkins Family,’’ and when we consider har- 
diness the Rhoda is by far the best in the Perkins list. 
Fruit has a distinctive appearance being particularly 
oblong in shape, medium size, striped to deep red in 
color. Flesh firm, fine grained and sweet. Tree hardy 
ind does not appear to be subject to blight. Keeps 
until April. . 
Perkins (No. 72)—We firmly believe that this apple 
far surpasses anything that has yet been produced as 
a winter variety for Southern Minnesota, Southern 
Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. This 
apple has been kept under favorable conditions for 
one year and then exhibited at the Minnesota State 
Fair. The fruit, which resembles the Baldwin very 
much, is large, rich red, round as a ball and though 
very hard at picking time it becomes fine for eating 
during the middle or late winter. It is almost impos- 
sible to shake the apples from the tree until thoroughly 
ripe. The tree is a rapid, robust grower, free from 
blight and has proven perfectly hardy wherever it has 
been planted. Keeps well into May or June. 
MeIntosh—Tree vigorous with spreading head, a 
good annual bearer. Fruit above medium size, smooth, 
yellow covered with crimson, flesh snow white, crisp, 
very tender, aromatic and sub-acid. Season October 
to January. 
Delicious—Originated in Iowa and is not considered 
hardy north of the Iowa-Minnesota line. Fruit is 
round, long, tapering, deep red running to yellow at 
the tip. Has a delightful flavor and has been kept in 
cold storage until May. Valuable for home or com- 
mercial orchards. 
CRAB APPLES 
Dolgo—A new, red-jellied Siberian Crab. This crab 
was brought from Russia to the South Dakota Experi- 
ment Station in 1897 and introduced in 1917. A vig- 
orous, productive tree and exceedingly free from blight. 
Fruit full of juice, jells easily, makes a rich, ruby-red 
jelly of beautiful color and excellent flavor. The tree 
is a strong and sturdy grower and is winning favor in 
many localities.
