BRAND'S FRUITS 
The ANOKA Apple 
A Dwarf Apple for the Family Qarden 
Anoka is a new apple produced by that great plant wizard 
of South Dakota, Professor Niels Hansen. The tree starts to 
bear very young, often producing apples on 2-year-old trees 
in the nursery row and is a heavy annual bearer. The fruit has 
much the appearance of Duchess of Oldenburg but is larger 
and a little more oblong, and does not show quite so much 
color. Ripens very early, beginning around August 15th. The 
flavor is mild and very fine. We like it much better than Yellow 
Transparent. 
Four of these trees were 
sent to the Fargo, North 
Dakota, Experimental 
Station in the spring of 
1920 (1-year trees). In 
the fall of 1922 that Sta¬ 
tion made the following 
report: “This spring two 
of the four trees blos¬ 
somed; one produced 23 
apples, the other 26. 
Anoka Apple. 
Anoka , fruiting heavily two years after planting. 
Eight years ago we purchased two trees from Professor Hansen. The 
second year after planting, one of the little trees—then only a 3-year-old— 
produced 14 large apples; the other tree 12. Neither of the trees are over 
7 feet tall and both have borne large crops every year since. 
One spring we had 46 little 3- to 4-ft. trees that we failed to sell. We 
planted these back into the nursery row. Six of these bore fruit that 
same year, one ripened 7 apples. 
3- to 4-ft. trees, 75c; 4 to 5 ft., $1.00; 5 to 6 ft., $1.25.
