Winter Apples 
Intosh of Canadian origin. The 
fruits of the two varieties are 
quite similar but those of Cort- 
land will average larger in size, be 
more uniform, and carry a deep- 
er and heavier red color. The 
taste of Cortland while distinctive 
is much like that of McIntosh. 
The flesh is firmer but just as 
juicy. The fruit hangs to the 
tree better. Keeps into Feburary. 
Cortland is one of the best Ap- 
ple introductions of the century.

DARK RED DELICIOUS. An im- 
proved Delicious Apple, with a 
very dark red over-all color, mak- 
ing it one of the most attractive 
Apples for the market or home. 
Like its parent, it is crisp, juicy, 
sweet and rich in flavor. It has 
the characteristic 5-knob  ap- 
pearance of the common Deli- 
cious. In favored locations the 
tree is a good grower. Nov. to 
March. For southern Wisconsin. 
CORTLAND. An improved Mc- \DELICIOUS. This Apple needs 
very little description, because 
everybody knows it. Particularly 
relished by people who prefer a 
sweet Apple rather than an acid 
one. Keeps until March. For 
southern Wisconsin. 
~“FIRESIDE. A “MINN. DELI- 
CIOUS.” <A new Delicious, 
hardy enough to thrive in north- 
ern Wisconsin and Minnesota. 
This is a medium to large win- 
ter Apple. The flavor is rich, 
sub-acid, and almost sweet like 
the well known Delicious. The 
flesh is crisp, firm and juicy. 
This Apple does not color up as 
well as might be desired; and for 
this reason may fail as a commer- 
cial variety; still its quality will 
merit it a place in every home 
orchard. 
“GRIMES GOLDEN. Medium to 
large size, round, rich golden 
yellow, sprinkled with light gray 
dots; flesh crisp, tender, rich and 
juicy, sprightly. Nov. to Feb.

~ JONATHAN. Medium, roundish; yellow, nearly covered with red; 
fine grained, tender and finely flavored. Nov. to Feb. For southern 
Wisconsin only. 
~HARALSON. One of the first introductions of the Minnesota Fruit 
Breeding Farm. It has become a very popular and dependable variety 
throughout ‘the North because it bears early, regularly, and heavily; 
fruit is medium size, and of an attractive red color. Flesh is crisp, 
tart and juicy. Its eating qualities, like that of all late winter-keeping 
Apples is only fair; but it can’t be beat for pies and sauce. Finally, 
it keeps well all winter. BEST WINTER APPLE FOR THE 
NORTH. Plant liberally of Haralson—It’s a sure bet.

Several Kinds of Apples on One Tree 
An Apple tree, grafted to several varieties, is an ideal tree for the city 
man with limited planting space. One or two such trees, planted in the 
rear yard are a delightful addition to any home. We are growing these into 
large, ready-to-bear trees and sell them only at the nursery.
