BEACON - (02 Early 
There has been a long search for an early Apple 
that would keep longer than while you were looking 
at it. The Beacon is one of the answers to that need, 
and will fill the bill much better than Duchess, Early 
Harvest or Yellow Transparent. Ripening about 
Duchess time, they will keep well into Wealthy season. 
The all-red color, plus its all around goodness and 
keeping ability, make Beacon the best early Apple M K 

introduced by the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm to 
date. It is of great value as a home orchard variety 
in Zones III through V, and exceeded by few in Zone 
VI. Beacon is of commercial importance in zones up .\ 
through II. Until a better Apple is introduced, Beacon »\) 
is the best early Apple to plant. See prices below.

MIN-JON -a@ Hardy Jonathan 
A very hardy Jonathan type 
Apple whose only objectionable 
feature is over-loading in some 
seasons. In those years, thinning 
of the fruit while small is desirable 
to produce good size and color. 
When done well, Min-Jon is one | 
of the reddest of Apples with a | 
yellow flesh, often tinged pink just 
below the skin. Even where Jona- 
than can be grown, Min-Jon ripens 

just enough earlier to bring pre- 
mium prices on the market. Keeps 
until late December in ordinary 
storage. A Minnesota Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm introduction. 
The fruit hangs well until picked, 
the tree is hardy, the fruit quality 
is good for eating and cooking. 
Recommended for commercial 
planting in zones up through II, 
and for home orchards or local 
markets in all other zones. See 
prices at right.

FIRESIDE 
For those who think that the fla- 
vor of Delicious is hard to beat, 
Fireside is tailor made. It has all 
the flavor of Delicious and a little 
to boot. Besides it will thrive far 
north of the commercial Apple belt 
and KEEPS ALL WINTER. Delici- 
ous will not. 
An introduction of the Minnesota 
Fruit Breeding Farm, Fireside does 
not color up too well in Zones V 
and VI, but as it is grown farther 
south, it becomes better colored and 
larger sized. Recommended for 
zones up through IV, and for trial 
in Zones V and VI. See prices 
above.
