Every Variety Offered Here is Hardy in Minnesota 
We have a small, but very select list of Apple trees to offer 
this spring in the following varieties. 
Select, 5- to 6-Ft. Trees 
All varieties $1.50 each; any 3 for $4.25; 
any 6 for $8.40 
FIRESIDE. (Minnesota No. 993.) This is the quality Apple 
of all Apples. Better than a Delicious and as good as a 
Grimes or Spitzenberg. A large Apple, light creamy yellow 
overlaid with a light green with a flush of very light red. 
The Apple keeps all winter and the quality is mild and 
simply superb. The tree is perfectly hardy here. 
MANTET. A wonderful new summer Apple developed at 
the Morden, Manitoba, Station, and hardy at that point and 
suitable for growing as far north as Central Manitoba. A 
superior quality Apple anywhere and very desirable for 
planting in all far North points. A rich all-over red, and 
an early bearer of Apples of superior eating and cooking 
qualities. Season early summer. 
MINJON. One of the new Minnesota Apples recently named. 
the Morden, Manitoba, Station, and hardy at the point and 
many trying conditions before it was introduced. It has 
the earmarks of being one of the best Apples ever brought 
out. A brilliant all-over red of medium size and of the high- 
est quality. Flesh yellow with a tinge of red beneath the 
skin. It follows the Wealthy in season and keeps from late 
fall to Christmas. 
MINNESOTA APPLE No. 978. A wonderful first quality 
heavy bearing Apple from the Minnesota Fruit Breeding 
Farm. It is an all-over brilliant red Apple that comes into 
bearing right after the Wealthy and lasts several weeks 
longer. A new Apple of the very best eating and cooking 
qualities. 
ORIOLE—MINNESOTA No. 714. Here is a superb Apple 
that we have been watching ever since it was first sent out 
for trial. A very early summer Apple, the earliest of all. As 
a rule early summer Apples lack real quality but No. 714 
has it. A pleasant mild flavored Apple. An A-1 eating 
Apple. No. 714 is a great big cone-shaped variety the 
shape of a big Delicious. Just the sized Apple to satisfy 
the appetite of a good husky 12-year-old boy. 
PRAIRIE SPY. (Minnesota No. 1007.) Prof. Alderman, 
Chief of Horticulture, University of Minnesta, says of 
Prairie Spy: “It is an even better keeper than the Haralson 
and is the best quality winter Apple available in late winter 
and early spring.” Benjamin F. Dunn, President, Minnesota 
State Horticultural Society, says of Prairie Spy: “Our beau- 
tiful red Prairie Spy Apple is a late keeping winter Apple 
of exceptional quality. The trees are hardy, vigorous and 
productive. This is indeed a good luck Apple for the farmer, 
city home owner and the commercial grower.” Besides qual- 
ity it has the other features required for a popular Apple.

Finest Quality Plums We Can Grow in the Northwest 
Both Fine for Eating or Canning 
Excellent 4 to 5 ft. trees, $1.50 each 
SPLENDID PLUM. (See color illustration, opposite page.) 
We first offered this variety for sale in the spring of 1930. 
At that time we said that the Splendid was the finest Plum 
we had ever eaten. We still say the same thing. To date we 
have never had a Plum that will compare with the Splendid 
for quality. Fine, rather upright growing tree. Fruit almost 
round, slightly larger at the base. Bright red, with num- 
erous white spots, changing to deep, rich red as it becomes 
thoroughly ripe. Skin thin, pit small, fruit large, averaging 
1% to 134 inches. Flesh firm, richly colored, meaty, and 
the flavor is simply splendid. 
TOKA. (Apricot-Plum cross.) This is a flat, medium size 
Plum, brilliant red in color, with pleasant aroma. iets 6 
wonderful canning Plum, as there is no bitterness from the 
skin or its small pit. The tree is a beautiful upright grower 
that develops into a perfect ornamental tree, the most 
beautiful of all Plum trees. The quality of the fruit is of the 
highest. 
Both Kind of Plums Should be Planted for Fertilization 
Plum-Cherry Hybrids 
Plant Both Oka and Sapa for Fertilization 
Excellent 4 to 5 ft. trees, $1.50 
They start to bear as a two-year-old. 
Their fruit is large and easy to pick. 
They bear heavy crops every year. 
Their fruit is of very high quality. 
They seem to do well everywhere. 
THE OKA CHERRY. As far as quality is concerned, we have 
always considered the Oka Cherry superior to all the hybrid 
Cherries. The fruit is a good 114 inches in diameter, dark 
blackish red in color, with a deep sweet, juicy, purplish 
flesh. It must be planted with other hybrid Cherries such 
as Champa and Sapa to fertilize the bloom. 
SAPA. Planted in great quantities throughout the Middle 
Northwest in commercial orchards. This is the great purple- 
fleshed Cherry. An absolutely hardy tree that begins to bear 
as a two-year-old. Just loaded with great crops of fruit 
borne all along the limbs of the bushlike trees. Fruit about 
an inch in diameter, flesh rich purple, juicy, and delicious 
flavor. 
HEAVER. (Elongated Cherry.) A Plum-Cherry ripening 
earlier than the Sapa. The fruit has green flesh and dark 
purple skin. Excellent for eating and makes a supérior rich 
colored preserve. Should be planted with the Sapa for cross 
fertilization.
