Standard Varieties 
ANOKA—A summer apple that ripens very 
early. Sometimes bears second year after 
planting, but fruit lacks quality. Beacon and 
Van Buren produce better fruit. 
DELICIOUS—A favorite winter apple that's 
dependable only in the most favorable areas 
of southern Minnesota and further south. See 
map, page 29, Fruit is large, all red, sweet and 
New Apples from Minnesota's Experiment Station 
BEACON—A better summer apple 
that ripens a few days atter 
Duchess, but is not so perishable. 
It keeps well into Wealthy sea- 
son! There’s no finer early red 
eating apple—it’s highly colored, 
has fine quality and flavor, it's 
solid red, very hardy and a 
heavy bearer. 























delicious. 
DUCHESS—(See Red Van Buren). 
HARALSON—The most popular winter apple 
among Minnesota commercial growers. Large 
size, deep red color, and excellent flavor. 
Keeps in perfect condition until late spring. 
Free from blight and tends to bear early. Can 
be grown throughout Minnesota. 
MINNESOTA NO. 790—A new baking apple 
that has proved better than Rome Beauty in 
Hotel & Restaurant Association tests! A beau- 
tiful large red winter apple that holds its shape 
when baked. Nothing finer for pie or sauce. 
Hardy, heavy yielder, hangs well on tree. 
NORTHWESTERN GREENING—A popular old 
winter variety? with large, smooth, handsome 
green fruit, turning yellow when mature. A 
good winter keeper and a splendid cooking 
apple, especially fine for pies. 
RED VAN BUREN—A summer apple of Duchess 
type, but with better color—it's solid red! 
_ Ripens in Duchess season, it’s just as hardy, 
it has all the good qualities of Duchess, but 
much more attractive. 
WEALTHY—One of Minnesota’s most popular 
late fall apples. Bright red, large size, with 
juicy, sprightly flavor. A good eating apple 
that yields heavily and keeps into December. 
Grown throughout Minnesota. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT (See New Oriole) 

FIRESIDE—NOW! A MINNESOTA 
DELICIOUS that’s hardy for 
Minnesota! Truly a triumph of 
fruit breeding. Flavor and tex- 
ture even better than Delicious, 
although fruit is not so highly 
colored. Fireside is a large, long 
keeping winter apple with the 
finest flavor ever produced at 
Minnesota's Fruit Farm. Flesh is 
crisp, sweet, juicy—never be- 
comes ‘‘flat and mealy.” 



NEW 
MANTET 
“ Ripens 2 Weeks 
Before Duchess 
MANTET—Prof. Alderman (U. of Minn.) describes 
Mantet as follows: ‘This brilliant red, early 
summer apple was originated at Dominion Ex- 
periment Station, Morden, Canada. Its dessert 
and culinary qualities are not excelled by any 
other variety of its season, which is nearly two 
weeks ahead of Duchess.” Compare these fea- 
tures: extreme earliness, solid bright red color, 
unsurpassed quality! 
MINJON—A Minnesota Jonathan that 
and produces in Northern Minnesota! Its season 
is late fall, following Wealthy. It bears regu- 
larly, heavy loads of brilliant all-red apples. 
It colors up well and hangs tightly to tree until 
picked. 
MINNESOTA NO. 978—A new solid red apple 
with good dessert and excellent cooking quality, 
that ripens immediately after Wealthy, yet keeps 
much longer. It bears every year and fruits 
cling to the tree exceptionally well. Ideal for 
both home and commercial growers. 
NEW ORIOLE—(Minn. 714). A new harvest ap- 
ple from Minn. Fruit Farm. Prof. Alderman (U. 
of Minn.) says of it: “A large attractive early 
summer apple of top quality for dessert or cook- 
ing.” Destined to replace such varieties as Yel- 
low Transparent. Color is red over yellow. 
Profitable for home or market. 
PRAIRIE SPY—An extra long-keeping winter ap- 
ple with the BEST QUALITY of any available in 
late winter and early spring! For eating or 
cooking it's unsurpassed by any apple that 
stands up so well in storage for many months. 
It bears very young and heavily, fruit is big, 
bright red and of excellent flavor. 
thrives 
REDWELL—A new early winter apple from Uni- 
versity Farm. Above medium size and bright 
solid red. Moderately juicy, its pleasantly mild 
flavor makes it a good eating apple of Wealthy 
type. Excellent for baking and cooking. Fruits 
hang well to trees even in high winds. A 
dependable bearer. Keeps until January. 
VICTORY—A new Minnesota model 
of the old McIntosh! It has McIntosh 
shape, color and quality but ripens a 
week later, and keeps a month longer. 
Flesh is firmer, color is better, tree is 
hardier, fruit is not inclined to drop 
before harvest and it cooks and bakes 
better than McIntosh.
