HARVEST SEASON— 
WHITNEY is a large crab, fine eat- 
ing and excellent for pickles. 
BEACON is a relatively new apple 
of the Duchess season, but prob- 
ably superior to Duchess in al- 
most every respect. Its superior 
quality, uniformity of size and 
high color make it our best early 
apple, 
SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER— 

WEALTHY is still the most widely 
grown fall apple in this region. 
Even as compared to much newer 
varieties it rates very high. 
REDWELL is a new all-red apple 
of Wealthy season which in time 
may prove superior to Wealthy, 
for it bears annually, does not 
cluster, hangs well to the tree 
and is of high quality. 
MINJON was introduced for North- 
ern growers to fill the spot occu- 
pied by Jonathan a little further 
south. 
NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER— 
McINTOSH is still used as a stand- 
ard for fine dessert quality and is 
widely grown commercially. 
CORTLAND is of McIntosh type, 
but hangs to the tree better. It too 
is a popular variety in commer- 
cial sections. 
VICTORY seems to us to be the 
prize of the group for the home 
orchard. Compared to McIntosh 
it is of equal quality, better color, 
hangs longer to the tree, keeps 
longer,,and besides being tops for 
eating, it is also excellent for cul- 
inary purposes, 
WINTER KEEPERS— 
HARALSON makes an especially 
good tree and fruits young. The 
fruit is red, medium in size, keeps 
very well and is an excellent 
cooking apple.

FIRESIDE 
MINNETONKA BEAUTY (Patent 
474) 4-6 ft., $1.70 each, 10 for 
$15.00. 
This patent is held by the J. V. 
Bailey Nurseries, St. Paul. They 
think so much of the variety that 
they have planted some 200 in 
their orchard. 
One cannot correctly speak in su- 
perlative terms in describing all 
comparable varieties, good as 
they may be. Of these three va- 
rieties, to us there seems little 
choice; they are all such fine ap- 
ples. They are different to be 
sure, but each one compares fav- 
orably in quality with such fav- 
orites as Winesap and Delicious, 
and besides being as good or bet- 
ter eating, are certainly superior 
for cooking purposes. The trees 
are hardy and produce well. 
DOLGO CRAB is the perfect jelly 
crab. It is a beautiful bright red 
crab apple and is without ques- 
tion the finest jelly crab for this 
region. It is often used as an or- 
namental also.
