Minn 638 is documented as an apple in a 1937 Fruit Growers Service Co. catalog for northern planting. It appears under “Apple Trees” premium choices. The source gives no fruit description, parentage, breeder, release date, or testing history. Its importance in this record is availability: it was one of the apple trees a member could choose as a free 1937 membership premium. [S1]
The catalog page links the offer to Minnesota fruit growing institutions. The surrounding promotion describes the premium plants as sturdy, vigorous trees and plants grown by the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. Membership also included the Minnesota Fruit Growers Association and the Minnesota State Horticultural Society. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone is stated for Minn 638. The catalog was aimed at hardy fruits for northern planting, and the page belongs to a Minnesota and Northwest fruit growing context. This source does not make a cultivar-specific winter survival claim. [S1]
The evidence is thin. Minn 638 can be treated as a Minnesota associated apple selection in nursery or association circulation by 1937. Its parentage, fruit quality, season, tree habit, and later status remain unresolved from this source alone. [S1]
