Its size, shape and color are just right 
for an ideal commercial Apple. The tree is 
extremely vigorous, productive and hardy. 
The branches spring at wide angles from 
the central trunk and are very strong in the 
crotches. The fruit will keep in an ordinary 
cellar throughout the winter without arti- 
ficial refrigeration. An early, heavy bearer. 
The fruit hangs well to the tree until ma- 
tured, is a deep red and the flesh is firm. 
Is a leading market variety and keeps all 
winter. Is an all purpose apple and is 
excellent for pies. 
“WHITNEY CRAB— 
A large, red, mild flavored Crab, excellent 
for eating, canning, and pickles. Perfectly 
hardy, never blights and is a heavy crop- 
per. 
| DOLGO CRAB— 
The best for jelly. Fruit is oblong, of real 
beauty and peculiar lemon-acid in flavor. 
Entirely different from any other crab apple 
and far superior for jellies, producing a 
transparent bright red jelly of high quality. 
The fruit is distinctly beautiful, borne in 
great profusion. Dolgo is a beautiful lawn 
tree, in addition to producing fruit of super- 
ior quality. It is a striking thing to see 
the masses of red fruit clustered along the 
branches. 
GRAPES 
RED AMBER— 
This is undoubtedly one of the best of the 
recent introductions of the Minnesota State 
Fruit Breeding Farm. A very fine, large, red 
Grape of exceptionally high quality. Per- 
fectly hardy and need not be covered. 
\ BLUE JAY— 
This grape has very compact, large clus- 
ters of berries, about the same size as Con- 
cord. They are dull black and covered with 
axbluish bloom. When first colored and ap- 
parently ripe, they are rather acid, but if 
allowed to remain on the vine for 10 to 14 
days longer, they become mild and pleas- 
ing in flavor. Also good for making juice or 
jelly. This needs to be planted near some 
other variety that will furnish pollen. 
“ MOONBEAM— 
This “white’’ Grape with a mild and 
sweet flavor is borne in medium sized clus- 
ters, but the berries are large. It is an ex- 
cellent ornamental variety because the 
clean, attractive leaves are dark green 
above and silvery beneath. Prices of Blue 
Jay, Red Amber and Moonbeam Grapes, 
2 yr., 70c; 3 for $1.85. 
“BETA GRAPE— 
A heavy, annual bearer, hardy as the 
wild grape. Medium size black fruit of extra 
good quality for juice and jelly, and ripens 
so early that it can be grown far north. 
The Beta withstands our severe northern 
winters without protection. They may be 
grown on fences, over a building, or in a 
windmill tower and should bear heavily 
every year. 
~S FREDONIA— 
The new outstanding, early black Grape. 
Fredonia is the earliest good black Grape. 
The vine is vigorous and productive and 
ripens its fruit 3 weeks earlier than Con- 
cord. Fruit is large, sweet and of good 
quality. Price of Beta and Fredonia grapes, 
2 yr., 50c; 6 for $2.50.

PLUMS 
‘UNDERWOOD— 
The Underwood is valuable because of 
its large, early fruit and annual bearing. It 
is the earliest of the large Plums, attaining 
a size of 134, inches in diameter. Fruit is 
attractive red with splendid quality, small 
pit. 
~ SUPERIOR— 
One of the very largest and very best of 
the Jumbo Plums originated by the Minne- 
sota State Fruit Breeding Farm. The tree 
bears early and is a regular and heavy 
cropper. The fruit is very large, firm fleshed, 
beautiful red color and delicious quality to 
eat out of hand. Superior is one of the bet- 
ter Plums for home or for market. 
REDCOAT—- 
Medium-sized, bright crimson fruit—excel- 
lent for canning and cooking. Perfectly 
freestone. Trees very vigorous and hardy; 
bear young and extra heavy. 
POLLENIZERS FOR 
MINNESOTA PLUMS— 
It is necessary to plant one or two pollen- 
izing Plums with any of the Minnesota hy- 
brids in order to get good yields. It has 
been found that the Minnesota hybrids do 
not fertilize one another and we recommend 
the following varieties which will effectively 
pollenate the standard varieties. 
-HANSKA, KAGA, 
SOUTH DAKOTA POLLENIZERS— 
These are the best Plum pollenizers for 
our Minnesota hybrids. Sweet and tasty, 
they are a valuable addition to the home 
planting.
