I # V# you receive a big, full crop. 
This is the earliest and heaviest bearing apple in the world. Anoka 
has a record of bearing eight big crops of apples from a tree ten years 
old. The tree is perfectly hardy, too, and will survive the winter in 
all climates. It was originated in the Dakotas where temperatures 
get way down to 35 below zero. You can have lots of apples quickly 
by planting the genuine Anoka. 
The fruit is large, yellow and red streaked of excellent quality, juicy and 
rich in flavor. It ripens in August but can be used several weeks before 
fully ripe. Unequalled for both cooking and eating. Remember, bears a 
big, full crop only two years after planting. 
Red Cortland 
I am the first in the Farm Belt to offer you this new super winter apple, 
A splendid eonipanion to Anoka as Cortland also comes into bearing very 
early. We have known of many trees producing fruit two years after 
being planted. Cortland is a beautiful dark red while the flesh is fine 
grained, crisp, juicy, white, and firm. You are sure of a crop of apples 
every year from Cortland. Just think! Order and plant this spring, 1935, 
some fruit in 1937 and into full bearing in 1938. A great record for this 
new winter hardy, long-keeping apple. Plant Anoka for your earliest bear¬ 
ing fall apple and Cortland for earliest bearing winter apple.

Douglas 
Pear 
MAMMOTH BLACK TWIG. A 
beautiful large red Apple. Con¬ 
sidered superior to Winesap, al¬ 
though not so juicy. Very showy. 
A bearing tree is a beautiful sight. 
NORTHWESTERN GREENING. 
Long keeper, keeping until April. 
Very hardy. Apples extremely 
large. Pale greenish yellow. Excel¬ 
lent flavor 
JANET. (Improved Jeniton.) This 
is the Apple which our grand¬ 
fathers used to grow, except we 
have the improved variety, which 
is much larger than the small Jeni¬ 
ton. Will keep until the first of 
May. Especially fine for cider and 
eating. 
TOLMAN SWEET. The most valu¬ 
able sweet apple for baking, and 
other cooking purposes. Unexcelled 
for spicing. Beautiful yellow, 
slightly tinged -with red. Will keep 
until April. 
YORK IMPERIAL. A good home 
orchard tree. Eating quality about 
the same as Jonathan. Apple red, 
medium size, tender and juicy. 
Douglas—The Blight Proof Pear 
Douglas has never been known to blight. While it is a winter pear, yet 
it has none of the objectionable features of some of the old-time winter 
varieties as the fruit is of fine quality, small seed cavity and large and 
uniform in size. A golden yellow pear with a faint blush on the cheek. 
The tree grows vigorously and produces large crops every year after 
starting to bear. Douglas bears early, too, so you can start getting fruit 
quickly. A hardy variety for the Northern States. Try it. I recommend 
it. Same price as other pears. 
CRAB APPLES 
Finest for Jelly and Pickles 
Used for jelly, preserves and pickles. The trees 
are very hardy, and the varieties that we have 
listed are considered the choicest of the Crab 
Apple family. The Whitney is very nearly as large 
as an apple, while the Siberian is smaller but of 
exceptionally fine flavor. 
RED SIBERIAN. Fruit grows in clusters and the 
tree is simply loaded when fruiting. Bears very 
young: fruits in September. Use these for jelly 
and pickles. This is the little red one. 
WHITNEY. Most popular variety; bears early, 
productive; fruit large; skin light yellow shaded 
and striped with red; flesh yellowish, crisp, 
juicy, sub-acid or nearly sweet. Late August to 
September. Hard to beat for pickles or cooking. 
Include these in your apple tree order at same 
prices. Assort them any way you wish to get the 
quantity rates. 
PEARS 
Pears grow on almost any soil but do best on heavy 
clay, loam or sod. Plant 18 to 20 feet apart. Dwarfs 
do not bear smaller fruit, but the tree is smaller 
for backyard planting.
