for dessert and baking. Sweet Delicious is now voted as our best winter 
sweet. 
Sweet McIntosh—suggests McIntosh in appearance, flavor, and aroma. The 
variety is, of course, primarily adapted for home use—for baking and to 
eat out of hand. It should become a splendid home and roadside market 
sort. 
Webster—makes a good showing because of large size, trim shape, and 
handsome rather solid bright red color. It has excellent culinary possi- 
bilities and while not a high-quality eating apple, it is a valuable market 
sort for cooking late in the season when there is a scarcity of good cooking 
apples. The variety is a triploid so that ample provision should be made 
for cross-pollination. 
CRAB APPLES 
Dolgo—is a handsome red crab apple imported from Russia in 1897 by Pro- 
fessor N. E. Hansen of the South Dakota Experiment Station. The fruit 
is full of juice, jellies easily, and makes a rich, ruby-red jelly of beautiful 
color and excellent flavor. The tree is hardy, vigorous, and productive; 
the season early September. Splendid for cider as well as jelly. 
Young America—produces abundantly, attractive red fruits of excellent size 
and quality. Jelly made from the fruit is a clear, beautiful red and splen- 
didly flavored. The tree is especially vigorous and hardy. The season is 
about the middle of September. Young America and Dolgo should be 
planted as ornamentals as well as for their fruit. 
ORNAMENTAL APPLES 
Redfield—an apple for the lawn and other ornamental plantings because of 
its large and very dark pink flowers. The fruit is medium in size, dark deep 
solid red in color, with deep red flesh. The foliage is dark with a reddish 
green tinge early in the season. This and Redford are two very desirable 
ornamentals. 
Redford—a sister of Redfield and similar in all characters of tree and fruit. 
The petals are deep pink but not as dark as those of Redfield. The fruit is 
medium in size, deep dark solid red, with deep red flesh. The foliage has a 
characteristic reddish green tinge early in the season. Lovers of handsome 
ornamental apples will plant this sort and Redfield. 
Van Eseltine—a beautiful ornamental crab named in honor of the late origi- 
nator. Buds pendulous and red, while open flowers are semi-double and 
pinkish white. 
CHERRIES 
Deacon—originated as a chance seedling more than 40 years ago in the 
State of Washington. For a long time it remained almost unnoticed until 
it was discovered that it is a good pollinizer for Bing, Lambert, and 
Napoleon. Now it is widely grown on the Pacific Coast. The fruit ripens
