Early McIntosh — A McIntosh of the Yellow Transparent season. It is a cross be- 
tween the McIntosh and Yellow Transparent. A small, handsome red apple which 
ripens about 10 days after Yellow Transparent, but before Duchess. This is an 
apple that pleases the taste as well as the eye. Hardy, vigorous and productive, 
and bears annually if thinned early and severely. 
Fireside — Another fine Minnesota production considered one of the highest quality 
apples produced, A medium to large, long keeping winter apple, with a rich, 
sweet, sub-acid flavor. The flesh is crisp, firm and juicy. It never develops the 
bland, dry characteristics of some highly flavored AISNE at the close of their 
season. Absolutely hardy. ; 
- Jonathan — This well known apple needs little description. A medium sized, round 
apple, yellow, nearly covered with red. Fine grained, tender and finely flavored. 
Season, fall and early winter. 
_ Lodi — Golden in color. An early summer apple that comes into bearing quite early. 
Blight resistant and considered an improvement over Yellow Transparent which 
it somewhat resembles. Fruit is much larger, bears younger and is of uniform, 
conic shape. Heavy bearer. 
- McIntosh Red — This is a Canadian introduction. A good keeper and is mellow and 
good to use from the time it is picked, and if kept in’cold storage, for many 
months. Hardy, medium large size, flesh white, tender and juicy, sub-acid, re- 
freshing, and considered one of the highest and best flavored apples grown. 
The fruit is appealing to the eye and the trees are absolutely hardy in our 
climate as well as much farther North. Fine for market sales.

Minnesota. It is very hardy and extremely attractive in appearance. Bears 
abundantly and regularly. Flesh is yellow with a tinge of red beneath the skin. 
Season late, following Wealthy.

. Northern Spy — A large, handsomely striped red apple, with a rich aromatic flavor 
and of the finest quality. This is a very popular variety for our northern states 
due to its hardiness. Extremely hardy and flowers late in Spring, thus escaping 
frosts. Scarlet red with markings. A splendid winter keeper. 
Perkins — This variety was originated at Red Wing, Minnesota. The fruit is large, 
deep red and round as a ball. Flesh fine grained, tender, juicy, of good quality 
and a delicious flavor. Keeps until March. Tree is vigorous, a good grower and 
a heavy, annual bearer. One of the best varieties for the North. 
Prairie Spy — An extremely high quality apple for discriminating people, who 
appreciate extra fine quality. Trees are very hardy, vigorous and productive. 
Bears very well and is a fine shipping apple. It has a tendency to overbear in 
alternate years and may require thinning of fruit to produce apples of maximum 
size and finish. Keeps until Spring. 
- Red Delicious — One of the most desirable apples grown that bears young. Succeeds 
wherever apples can be grown and has a most delightful flavor. A rich, refreshing 
juiciness not found in any other apple. Its color is very pleasing and the quality 
of fruit and keeping ability cannot be improved upon.
