Apples and Other Fruit Trees 
We sell about twelve varieties of apples. Four 
of these varieties—Whitney Crab, Wealthy, Yellow 
Delicious, and Jonathan—are carriers of Cedar Rust. 
The soil in our country is fine for apples. In some 
places, the soil may be helped by using one-third of 
a pound of borax to a tree for boron deficiency. Ir- 
rigation is helpful to most varieties when the rainfall 
is less than thirty-five inches per year. A windbreak 
on the north often provides a few inches of extra 
moisture. A windbreak from the southwest will re- 
duce damage from hot winds. 
‘Anoka Apple 
The Anoka apple trees start to bear the second 
year and produce apples in quantity every year, caus- 
ing them to be dwarf. These apples are good for 
pies and canning. The children like them. 
Cedar Rust does not bother them. They ripen in 
August. 
‘Early Harvest 
The well-known harvest apple bears in about six 
years and bears steadily afterward. They ripen in 
July. 
Red Delicious 
This well-known apple bears in about six years. 
It is a good winter apple. McIntosh and Whitney 
Crabs will pollinate it. 
Yellow Transparent 
This is a good canning apple which ripens in 
August. 
Winesap 
This well-known winter eating apple bears a heavy 
crop every other year. It bears in about six years. 
Duchess Red 
The Duchess Red, which is a fine, good-size fall 
apple, bears in from four to six years. 
Wealthy 
‘The Wealthy apple is known as the world’s best 
money-maker. It is subject to Cedar Rust, will per- 
haps substitute the Harlson which, in my opinion, is 
equal to the Wealthy and is not subject to Cedar 
Rust. The Wealthy is a fall apple. This choice 
cooking apple bears a crop in about four years.
