Beacon—Gus Boman near Twin Valley has _ had 
about the best “luck” in growing apples that we 
know of up in this country. The land he planted 
his trees on was cultivated a few years ago and 
then put into sod. Mr. Boman has had many 
bushels of early ripening red apples from a 
Beacon tree bought from us nearly twenty years 
ago. 4-5 ft. trees, each $1.00. 
Melba—One of the best Canadian varieties, good 
size and high quality. Bears while young. 4-5 ft., 
$1.00. 
Minjon—A late fall apple, better color and quali- 
ty than the Wealthy. 3-4 ft., each $1.00. 
Anoka—Not a long-lived tree, but worth growing 
because it bears so soon. 4-5 ft., $1.00. 
Erickson—The largest of them all, good quality, 
early. 3-4 ft., $1.00. 
Hibernal—Hardy and a _ reliable bearer. Good 
for cooking. The best to use for top working. 4-5 
qt. 701.20. 
Haralson—There is no better pie apple grown. 
The Haralson is one of the earliest to bear. C. M. 
Pesek of Crookston had a dandy crop the fourth 
year after planting. Well reported of all through 
the north. One of the best winter apples. It will 
pay you to plant a few Haralson. 3-4 ft., each $1; 
4-5 ft. transplant, $1.50. 
Fireside—This is the best eating apple that can 
be grown in Minnesota. Ripens late, keeps all 
winter. Try one. 4-5 ft., $1.00. 
Prairie Spy—At the experimental orchard of 
Harold Thomforde in Crookston, this is one of 
the most promising varieties. Ripens late, but 
the quality is excellent, well worth waiting for. 
Keeps all winter. Tree is hardy and vigorous. 
4-5 feet, each $1.00. 
Mortoff—This tree from Morden, Manitoba is 
one of the hardiest and the apples it yields are 
really good eating. One year 3-4 ft. trees, $1.00 
each. 
Crab Apples 
Dolgo—Wm. Page, county agent at Grand Forks, 
says this is an excellent crab for the North. 
Makes the best possible jelly, good for pickles, 
and also good for mixing with other apples for 
sauce. We have had heavy crops these last two 
years in spite of heavy frost at blossom time. 
The tree is fast growing and shapely, beautiful 
as an ornamental lawn tree. 4-5 ft., $1.00; 5-6 
feet, $2.00.
