NEW APPLES 
Developed by ALBERT ETTER, 
Pioneer Hybridizer 
Many years ago the late Mr. Etter commenced his patient research for new apple varieties in his orch- 
ards located in a remote section of Humboldt County. In the course of his work through the years no 
less than 15,000 crosses were made under pre-evaluated conditions, and more than 2,000 varieties 
placed under observation. The varieties listed below are the first fruits of his achievement... they 
are recommended wholeheartedly as new apples of outstanding merit and interest. We suggest that 
you enjoy the distinction of ‘pioneering’’ one or more of the new Etter apples in your home orchard.

~ ALASKA: (Plant Patent No. 699.) The privileged few 
who have seen and tasted this exciting novelty 
praise its crispy coolness, its splendid production 
and handsome size and shape. October fruits are 
“banks of snow” against dark green foliage. 
>\ CRIMSON GOLD: (Plant Patent Pending.) Our first 
introduction of this apple was by way of a jar of 
delicious golden sliced fruit offered by Mr. Etter. 
The slices were preserved in their original form, 
not frayed or broken. When eaten, the slices are 
crisp, melting and deliciously rich. The medium- 
sized, rounded fruits have a red skin and white 
flesh, but cooking turns the flesh a golden yellow, 
like sliced cling peaches. 
‘\ ETTER’S GOLD: (Plant Patent No. 659.) Large plenti- 
tul, golden fruits begin to mature in October; crisp 
and delightful to eat even when over-ripe; spritely, 
mild, sub-acid flavor and firm flesh persist through 
cooking. A good keeper. Etter’s Gold may be stored 
for early winter desserts. 
‘\ HUMBOLDT: (Plant Patent No. 658.) Mr. Etter dis- 
covered the striking feature of this variety in the 
spring. He found masses of huge fragrant flowers, 
sized fruits are far above expectancy in a variety 
producing such a splendid crop of flowers. Fruits 
maturing in late fall have creamy flesh, tinted pink, 
showing through transparent skin. 
\ JONWIN: (Plant Patent No. 710.) Hybrid of Jonathan 
and Baldwin, this delicious red apple combines the 
best features of both. Jonwin develops large-sized

fruits of Baldwin and ripens in August-September 
with Jonathan. Fruits are more crisp and tender of 
flesh than either of its parents. 
\\PINK PEARL: (Plant Patent No. 723.) Remarkably 
transparent skin glows with the color of pink flesh 
beneath. A startling “bouquet” is discovered with 
the first bite into this medium to large-sized apple 
ripening in September. Pink Pearl makes delicious 
pink apple sauce. 
\\ WICKSON: (Plant Patent No. 724.) This diminutive 
apple surpasses most crabapples in color, form, 
and flavor. Masses of brilliant-red fruits almost 
conceal the foliage in fall. The flavor is enticing 
and sugary sweet. A fine small apple for fresh 
eating, deliciously spiced, unsurpassed for jam 
and jelly.
