FIRESIDE 
HARALSON 
In the past ten years Haralson has been the 
most popular Apple in this district. It is a hardy 
tree, stands heat and cold. It has strong crotches, 
seldom splits or breaks. It bears early, often the 
third year after planting. It bears heavily, in fact, 
often needs thinning. Finally, it is a large, all-red 
Apple that keeps throughout the winter in ordi- 
nary storage. It's a grand all-purpose Apple for 
home or for market. 
At the time Haralson was introduced, Professor 
Alderman, Chief, Uni- 
versity of Minnesota, said of it: “Its size, shape 
Division of Horticulture, 
and color are just right for an ideal commercial 
Apple. The tree is extremely vigorous, productive 
and hardy. The branches spring at wide angles 
from the central trunk and are very strong in the 
crctches. The fruit will keep in an ordinary cellar 
throughout the winter without artificial refrigera- 
tion.” 
FIRESIDE 
(Minnesota No. 993) 
“A SUPERB DELICIOUS.” 
has achieved another remarkable success 
The State Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm has succeeded in developing a 
new Delicious Apple, hardy enough to 
thrive in this northern country. We offer 
Fireside for the first time this year. It is 
Minnesota 
in fruit breeding! 
one of the top three varieties. 
As most people know, the common De- 
- licious Apple is not hardy or dependable 
‘ 
in any but favorable climates. This new 
Apple, FIRESIDE not only has a flavor 
equal or superior to the common Delicious 
but the tree is hardy and productive even 
in the severe climate of Minnesota. 
Prof. Alderman, Chief, Division of Horti- 
culture, University of Minnesota, says of 
Fireside: “This large long-keeping win- 
ter Apple can unquestionably be rated as 
one of the highest quality varieties pro- 
duced at the Minnesota Fruit Breeding 
Farm. The flavor would be rated as rich, 
sub-acid, almost sweet; the flesh is crisp, 
firm and juicy, and it never develops the 
bland, dry characteristics of some highly 
flavored apples at the close of their sea- 
mw 
son.
