Erickson—The largest of them all, good quality, 
early. 3-4 ft., $1.00. 
Hibernal—Hardy and a reliable bearer. Good for 
cooking. The best to use for top working. 3-4 ft., 
$1.00. 
Haralson—There is no better pie apple grown. 
The Haralson is one of the earliest to bear. C. M. 
Pesek of Crookston had a dandy crop the fourth 
year after planting. Well reported of all through 
the north. One of the best winter apples. It will 
pay you to plant a few Haralson. 3-4 ft., each $1; 
4-5 ft. transplant, $1.50. 
Fireside—This is the best eating apple that can 
be grown in Minnesota. Ripens late, keeps all 
winter. Try one. 38-4 ft., each $1.00. 
Prairie Spy—At the experimental orchard of 
Harold Thomforde in Crookston, this is one of 
the most promising varieties. Ripens late, but 
the quality is excellent, well worth waiting for. 
Keeps all winter. Tree is very hardy and vigor- 
ous. 4-5 feet, each $1.59. 
Crab Apples 
Dolgo—Wm. Page, county agent at Grand Forks, 
says this is an excellent crab for the north. 
Makes the best possible jelly, good for pickling 
and also good for mixing with other apples for 
sauce. We have had heavy crops these last two 
years in spite of heavy frost at blossom time. 
The tree is fast growing and shapely, beautiful 
as an ornamental lawn tree. 3-4 ft., $1.00; 5-6 
£t:,° 51:50. 
Chestnut—A recent introduction of the Minne- 
sota Fruit Breeding Farm, it fills a long-felt and 
definite need for the home fruit grower. Ripening 
just after the Whitney, it will keep for two 
months. This is good news for school children. 
Its large size and the nut-like flavor of its crisp 
flesh make it a favorite for eating. The tree is 
heavy bearing and hardy. 2-4 ft., each $1.25. 
Virginia—At the Northwest School and Station 
at Crookston this tree is highly recommended. 
It is a good standard size crab 3-4 ft., $1.00. 
Whitney—An old favorite. Very large, a treat 
to eat. Well known and well liked. 3-4 ft., $1.00. 
Traill—While it is classed as a crab, and it is 
the best pickling crab because it stays whole 
when pickled, everyone likes it because it is so 
good to eat. 2-3 ft. trees, each $1.25. 
Rescue—Another Canadian variety, ripens early, 
red color, excellent eating. Transplanted 2-year 
trees, each $1.50.
