REDWING

THE UNARALLELED RECORD OF

Perkins Seedlings

WE want to call the attention of our people to the
wonderful record that the Perkins Seedlings have
made in nine years, since the orchard has come
into bearing. This has been accomplished in the face of
the keenest competition, for the highest prizes hung out
by any of the State Fairs and Horticultural Meetings.

Everybody knows that the Minnesota Fairs are the
biggest and best in the United States, but all do not know
that the Minnesota State Horticultural Society is the
largest on the continent, and offers premiums aggregating
over $1,000.00.

Believing that varieties of such merit should be pro-
pagated and given to the public, Mr. T. E. Cashman, in
company with another enterprising nurseryman of the
state, visited the orchard in the fall of 1908, when the
trees were loaded with fruit, and selected and purchased
of Mr. Perkins the right to what they regarded the most
desirable varieties in the orchard, paying a large sum of
money for them.

We have given names to the most promising of these
varieties and are now offering them to the public for
orchard planting.
