DEPENDABLE NURSERY STOCK 
THE EIGHT BEST “OLD FAITHFULS” 
Beacon 
(Minn. No. 423) 
An Early All-Red Eating Apple That 
Tops the Early Fall Market 
The leader among all early fall 
varieties for the middle west. 
Trees—Vigorous, productive, 
hardy. 
Season—Late Duchess. Keeps 1 
month after picking, without cold 
storage. 
Fruit—Highly colored, all red. 
Better eating quality than Duchess 
and an excellent cooking apple. 
We are completely “sold” on them 
and are planting heavily. They are 
dependable bearers—one can take 
plenty of time in marketing, as they 
keep well, and they top the market. 
Daniels Red Duchess 
Still the Best Early Apple 
A remarkable early red apple. An 
improved “bud sport” of the: Duchess 
of Oldenburg. 
It possesses all of the good qual- 
ities of the older variety and in addi- 
tion that all important, price com- 
manding quality of high red color. 
It comes when red apples are scarce 
—and always sells at top market 
prices, 
We know of no better real early 
“summer” apple for general com- 
mercial or home growing in this 
section of the country.

DANIELS RED DUCHESS 
BEARING IN NURSERY ROW 
One of the many valuable characteristics 
of this splendid ‘‘Improved Duchess” is its 
early bearing habit. Frequently, as shown 
in the picture above, it bears even in the 
nursery row. 
Erickson 
The Biggest Red Apple 
The largest early red apple, and 
possibly the largest red apple now 
highly recommended for planting. 
Bears at a very early age. Because 
of its extra large size it is always in 
strong demand on the early market. 
Extremely hardy, and a regular pro- 
ducer. Good quality. If you’re look- 
ing for size—you’ll find it in Erick- 
son—and you'll find early market 
high profits, too! 
Haralson 
(Minn. No. 90) 
The Most Widely Planted 
Hardy, Red, Winter Apple 
Haralson has really “arrived.” Be- 
cause it was one of the earlier Min- 
nesota introductions, and because it 
has proven itself so valuable it is 
now one of our most extensively 
planted varieties. 
Here are some of Haralson’s out- 
standing good points: Very hardy... 
extremely productive ... bears, and 
heavily, at a very young age... red 
.. . good size . . . sticks to the tree 
until picked .. . good in quality for 
dessert purposes, and an excellent 
cooker. 
McIntosh 
Quality Supreme 
One of the finest apples grown. 
Because of its brilliant deep red 
color, delicate flavor, crisp snow- 
white flesh, and distinctly pleasant 
aroma, it is considered by many to 
be the finest dessert apple of its sea- 
son. McIntosh has proven eminently 
successful throughout the Southern 
part of the state and is at present 
one of the Northwest’s most popular 
varieties. Season October to Janu- 
ary. 
Northwest Greening 
The One Best Winter Greening 
The best and longest keeping of 
the greenings. A splendidly formed, 
bright green fruit. Should be in 
every orchard for, even in ordinary 
storage, they keep well all winter 
and in a good vegetable cellar some- 
times on into the summer. Unex- 
celled for pies and baking. 
Prairie Spy 
(Minn. No. 1007) 
Hardy, Red, High Quality 
Winter Apple 
Another outstanding origination 
of the Minnesota State Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm. Prairie Spy has many of 
the fine characteristics of that fa- 
mous old apple of the East, The 
Northern Spy. Large red apple with 
quality equal to any late winter var- 
iety regardless of where grown. 
The fruit is large, attractive red, 
exceptionally high quality, long 
keeper, clings to the tree until 
picked. A true winter apple. 
The tree is vigorous, productive 
and hardy, except in highly unfavor- 
able locations. 
Wealthy 
Minnesota’s Most Famous Apple 
The old favorite fall apple of corn 
and pumpkin time! Probably no eat- 
ing apple is more popular and more 

19 
loved than Wealthy. Wealthy’s ap- 
petizing red appearance, its crisp, 
white, juicy flesh and_ sprightly 
flavor have endeared it to many. 
In spite of all the fine new varie- 
ties—Wealthy retains its popularity 
and will be largely planted for years 
to come! 
DANNY SAYS: 
“Gone With the 
Wind?” Not so for 
Fireside, Haralson, 
Northwest Green- 
ing, Victory and 
Prairie Spy, for 
they won’t blow off the tree at 
picking time. 

THE CRAB APPLES 
We offer what we consider the 
four finest crabs for eating, jelly, 
pickling, and as hardy top-working 
stocks. The new Chestnut has been 
aptly called the “Super” Crab. 
Chestnut ‘ 
(Minn. No. 240) 
A New “Super Crab” 
(See description on Page 18) 
Dolgo Crab — 
Dolgo is generally conceded to be 
the most beautiful of all apple trees. 
It is heavily laden with large white 
flowers at blossom time, and later 
the brilliant red fruit is borne freely 
in beautiful rope-like clusters, among 
dense foliage of vivid, dark green. 
The fruit is oblong in shape, of 
rare beauty and has a very unusual 
lemon-like flavor. Far superior to 
other crabs for jellies, producing a 
transparent bright red jelly of high 
quality. Will jell even when dead 
ripe. 
Virginia Crab 
One of the oldest and most de- 
‘pendable crabs. Tree large, vigorous 
and heavy bearer. Very hardy. Un- 
surpassed as a stock for top-working 
to less hardy varieties. 
Whitney Crab 
A large crab, generally considered 
the nicest eating of all crabs—and 
by many the best eating apple of its 
season—early fall. Large in size for 
a crab, well colored, with crisp flesh 
and a delightful flavor. A hardy, 
strong, very upright grower.
