BEACON. An early apple of Duchess season. Produced 
by Minn. Fruit Breeding Farms. Large, over all red 
apple of high quality. Excellent for eating or cooking. 
Remarkable that every apple is of first grade, perfect 
size and color. Truly a wonderful new apple. Perfectly 
hardy even in Winnipeg. 
M#LBA, An Early McIntosh. Melba comes from Canada. 
It is an early red McIntosh with that wonderful white 
flesh and flavor of the Snow apple and Cortland. It is 
bearing fine crops at Morden, Manitoba. A fine tree 
and perfectly hardy. 
MINJON, Minnesota Jonathan. This new apple is cre- 
ating a sensation among fruit growers. Developed at 
Minnesota University Farm. So near like the western 
Jonathan in color, size, form and quality it became 
known as Minnesota Jonathan. Fine for eating and 
cooking, keeps into winter. Should be an excellent 
fruit for home or commercial orchard. 
YEAGER’S Sweet. A golden apple This sweet golden 
apple was produced by Prof. A. F. Yeager at N. Dak. 
State Experiment Station. Fruit rather small, mild 
sweet delicious flavor. A remarkable eating apple. 
Ripens early. Very hardy. 
WEALTHY. This fine fruit has such a poor tree that 
we have stopped recommending it to Northern planters. 
We believe that it may better be replaced by Minjon. 
HARALSON. A winter apple. Haralson is making a 
fine reputation for itself. A fine large handsome red 
apple that will keep until spring. Good quality, crisp 
flesh, fine for eating and cooking. Compares favorably 
with Winesap. A strong thrifty tree of fine form. 
Perfectly hardy. 
DOLGO CRAB. This beautiful and high quality crab 
apple has been displacing other crabs throughout all 
northern states. Developed by Prof. Hansen at Brook- 
ings, S. Dak. It bears heavily, brilliant red fruit in 
clusters. Prof. Hansen writes, “Fruit is full of juice, 
jells easily, makes a rich red jelly of beautiful color and 
excellent flavor.” Prof. Alderman writes, “The Dolgo 
crab is the best one I know for northern conditions. It 
makes a handsome lawn tree with its symmetrical out- 
line, light green foliage and fiery red fruit.” 
RED RIVER CRAB. New. A cross between Dolgo crab 
and Delicious apple. Hardy like its mother parent but 
has caught some of the flavor of the Delicious apple 
Size larger than Dolgo; color rich red; quality the 
verv finest for eating, cooking and preserving. This 
remarkable new crab is winning favor rapidly. We 
believe it to be the finest crab anywhere in the United 
States, and it was developed in North Dakota. Every 
farm and city yard should have a Red River. 
MINN. #240. A new Minnesota University crab apple. 
A fruit of unusual fine quality. Medium size, light 
color, crisp flesh and a delicious crab for eating. ‘When 
you eat one it’s hard to stop. This promises to be a “best 
seller’. We expect Minn. #240 to be named this year. 
Plume 
LACRESENT. This remarkabie new plum bears fruit 
of an orange-gold color. Fruit of medium size and of 
exceedingly sweet and delicious flavor—a real “Sugar” 
plum of unusual quality. When loaded with ripe fruit, 
the tree presents a wonderful ornamental effect. We 
are confident this will become one of the most popular 
of all plums for home use. Extremely early. A strong, 
ornamental, upright grower making a good lawn tree. 
MINN. £133. A new plum from Minn. Fruit Station. 
Extra large 1% to 2 inches. Equal to the best Oregon 
plum in size, appearance and quality. This is truly a 
sensational fruit, on a strong thrifty tree. 
TECUMSEH. A new plum by Prof. N. E. Hansen. A rich 
red oval fruit. 1% inch through, nearly all even size, 
Hangs evenly over the tree. Heavy bearer of very 
high class fruit. Prof. Patterson of Sask. writes, “It 
is a high class plum for the North’. And excellent 
fruit for either home or market. 
UNDERWOOD. A large red fruit, 142 inches through, 
flesh yellow, firm, crisp, juicy and rich quality, small 
pit. Ripens in August. Looks like a California plum. 
Developed by Minn. University Fruit Farm. Tree 
strong and hardy, bears every year. One of the very 
finest of plum fruits. Thrives in Dakota. 
MORDENA. One of the newest and best of the red 
fleshed cherry hybrids. Developed by W. R. Leslie of 
Morden, Manitoba. A fine shapely tree, perfectly 
hardy, bears young. Fruit round, good size, purple 
flesh, small pit. Fine flavor, makes excellent sauce and 
the best of jelly and jams. Mordena is tops in the Sand 
cherry hybrid family. 
OKA. A development by Dr. N. E. Hansen. Another fine 
Sand cherry-plum cross. Purple flesh fruit, small pit, 
1 inch size, excellent quality for dessert or for canning. 
Bears heavily on trees only two years old. Tree is 
small but sturdy and healthy. Bears loads of fine fruit 
very quickly.

improved Sand cherries with the Gold plum. Tree is a 
sturdy grower with spreading head, purplish color, 
flesh green, fine flavor and excellent for canning. Bears 
young and yields heavily. More Opatas have been 
planted than any other Sand cherry hybrid. 
VALLEY CITY Cherry. This is an offspring of Compass 
cherry crossed with one of the best quality small plums. 
A truly improved Compass, secured from that veteran 
nurseryman, George Whiting. Tree fine and shapely, 
and makes a handsome ornamental. Fruit, true cherry 
form bright red, ripens evenly, very excellent for 
jellies and jams. Prettiest and most dependable of all 
the Sand cherry hybrids. ; 
CISTENA, Red Leaf Cherry. This purple red Sand cherry 
hybrid, half Sand cherry and half plum, was developed 
by Dr. N. E. Hansen, the noted plant breeder of S. Dak. 
Leaves continue red throughout the entire growing 
year. Small cherry blossoms in spring. It supplies a 
pleasing and striking contrast in any shrub group. 
PRUNUS TRILOBA. Often called “Flowering Almond”, 
also “Flowering Plum” and “Rose Tree of China”. It 
bursts into bloom in earliest spring with a profusion 
of deep pink rose-like flowers, which do look like roses. 
Plant with Snow Garland Spirea for striking effect. 
HOPA, Red Flowering Crab. This charming crab, an- 
other product of Dr. Hansen’s magic, has proved quite 
sensational. A thrifty crab tree of vigorous upright 
growth. It covers itself in spring with a mass of rich 
red apple blossoms. Many visitors drive to the North- 
west Nursery grounds every spring to see a pair of 
large Hopa in bloom, and to leave their orders for Hopa 
trees. The tree is later covered with a great quantity 
of small purple apples. 
MORDEN, Rosy Bloom Crab. The experimental station 
of Morden, Manitoba, has produced a remarkable cousin 
of Hopa. Flowers are large and a rich rosy color like 
a Sarah Bernhardt Peony. These are followed by small 
but brilliant shiny red crab apples that charm the land- 
scape from August to November. A fine shade tree 
and a wonderful ornamental.
