Winter Apples : 
CORTLAND. An improved MelIntosh 
of Canadian origin. The fruits of the 
twe varieties are quite similar but 
those of Cortland will average larger 
in size, be more uniform, and carry 
a deeper and heavier red color. The 
taste of Cortland while distinctive is 
much like that of McIntosh. The flesh 
is firmer but just as juicy. The fruit 
hangs to the tree better. Keeps into 
Feb. Cortland is one of the best Ap- 
ple introductions of the century. 
See picture on page 36. 
DARK RED DELICIOUS. An improved 
Delicious Apple, with a very dark red 
over-all color, making it one of the 
most attractive Apples for the market 
or home. Like its parent, it is crisp, 
juicy, sweet and rich in flavor. It has 
the characteristic 5-knob appearance of 
the common Delicious. In _ favored 
locations the tree is a good grower. 
Nov. to March. For southern Wis- 
consin, 
DELICIOUS. This Apple needs very 
little description, because everybody 
knows it. Particularly relished by peo- 
ple who prefer a sweet Apple rather 
than an acid one. Keeps until March. 
For southern Wisconsin. 
FIRESIDE. A ‘MINN. DELICIOUS.” 
A new Delicious, hardy enough to 
thrive in northern Wisconsin and Min- 
nesota. This is a medium to large 
winter Apple. The flavor is rich, sub- 
acid, and almost sweet like the well 
known Delicious. The flesh is crisp, 
firm and juicy. This Apple does not 
color up as well as might be desired; 
and for this reason may fail as a com- 
mercial variety; still its quality will 
merit it a place in every home orchard. 
GRIMES GOLDEN. Medium to large 
size, round, rich golden yellow, 
sprinkled with light gray dots; flesh 
crisp, tender, rich and juicy, sprightly. 
Noy. to Feb. 
JONATHAN. Medium, roundish; yel- 
low, nearly covered with red; fine 
grained, tender and finely flavored. 
Nov. to Feb. For southern Wiscon- 
sin only. 
HARALSON. One of the first 
introductions of the Minnesota 
Fruit Breeding Farm. It has 
become a very popular and de- i 
pendable variety throughout the 
North because it bears early, ¢ 
regularly, and heavily; fruit is 
medium size, and of an at- 
tractive red color. Flesh is 
crisp, tart, and juicy. Its eat- 
ing qualities, like that of ali \ 
late winter-keeping Apples is : 
only fair; but it can’t be beat 
for pies and sauce. Finally, it 
keeps all winter. BEST WIN- 
TSS PII AS PROMRY INS 
NORTH. Plant liberally of 
Haralson—it’s a sure bet. 
See picture on this page. 
KENDALL. One of the most attrac- 
tive and handsomely colored Apples 
of recent origin; a dark red Apple 
covered with a rich bloom. The Ap- 
ples are large, and when properly 
ripened on the tree, possess the white 
meat and fine-grained flesh of the 
MelIntosh. Its season is about that 
of the McIntosh, but it keeps a little 
longer. Oct. to Jan. 
MINNESOTA No. 790. A ‘MINN. 
ROME BEAUTY.” An _ unusually 
large dark red Apple that is proving 
to be a great baking and a fine des- 
sert Apple. The Rome Beauty has 
always been the favorite baking Apple 
of restaurants and hotels—this Ap- 
ple is as good as Rome Beauty. It 
attains large size, has the proper sugar 
content, and holds its shape while 
being baked. Keeps into March. 
Tree is very vigorous and a good 
cropper. We cant grow Rome 
Beauty—but we can grow Minn. No. 
790; Let's grow it.

Several Kinds of Apples on One Tree 
An Apple tree, grafted to several varieties, is an ideal
