\MINJON ok 
Minjon is a “Minnesota Jonathan.” It ripens earlier, however, and 
is much hardier. A large apple that is a deep rich red. Good for 
both eating and cooking, Minjon is gaining in popularity year 
by year. 
“VICTORY **&* 
To say that Victory is an improved McIntosh is probably enough 
to recommend it. Excellent quality for eating, sauce and in salads. 
Victory hangs to the tree better than McIntosh and bears much 
better in Minnesota. 
\CORTLAND 
Cortland is an outstanding apple for dessert purposes. Unexcelled 
for salads, its fine flavor and texture make it a choice apple for 
eating and sauce during the fall and early winter. 
“LAKELAND **k*& 
Here is a new apple that just can’t miss. A bit later than Wealthy, 
it is better on every count. Color is excellent—an all over bright 
red. Quality is high—very good for eating and especially good 
for pie. Best of all it’s an annual bearer, which means that you 
get apples every year instead of more than you can use one year 
and none the next. A sure winner. 
\ WEALTHY 
Probably the best known apple throughout the Upper Midwest. 
Its sprightly flavor and juiciness has made it a favorite for years 
and years. Wonderful for sauce and pies. Ripens in late Septem- 
ber, but can be used green soon after Labor Day. 
How Important is the Root to the Apple Tree? 
For anyone planting apple trees in the North, two things are of vital importance. 
Firstly, the proper selection of varieties should be made. It is very important 
to pick a kind that was developed in the North for northern orchards. That eae 
is why we feature the developments of the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. ee aia Victory 
Secondly, select only trees grown on hardy, northern varieties of root stocks. : 
We produce our own root stocks grown from seed of hardy varieties gathered 
in our own orchards. 
When you can have the best and hardiest apple tree obtainable for less than 
the price of a bushel of apples and are assured of a tree that will live and grow 
to produce hundreds and hundreds of bushels of apples over many years, it is 
indeed penny-wise and pound-foolish to buy anything but the best and hardiest 
apple tree you can get. No apple tree is stronger than its root; and no apple 
tree should be planted in the Upper Midwest unless it is a hardy variety grown 
on the hardiest of roots.
