BRAND'S FRUITS 
Brand’s Hardy Apples 
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 two-year-old trees in the nursery 
row and is a heavy annual bearer. The fruit has much the appear- 
ance of Duchess of Oldenburg but is larger and a little more ob¬ 
long, 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, Ex¬ 
perimental Station in the 
spring of 1920 (one-year 
trees). In the fall of 1922 
that Station made the fol¬ 
lowing report: “This spring 
two of the four trees blos¬ 
somed; one produced 23 
apples, the other 26.” 
Nine years ago we pur¬ 
chased two trees from Pro¬ 
fessor Hansen. The second 
year after planting, 
14 large apples; th< 
Anoka Apple 
Anokei, Uniting heavily two yean alter planting 
one of the little trees—then only a three-year-old—produced 
pples; 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. 
5 to 6 ft., $1.25; a pair for $2.25.

DOLGO CRAB— 
Dolgo 
The Qreatest Red Crab of the Age 
For crab apple pickles, crab apple preserves, and crab 
apple sauce, the Transcendant Crab was the greatest ever 
grown. But Transcendant blights so badly that we can 
no longer grow It. Dolgo has come to take its place. 
Dolgo is the only really good red crab outside of Tran¬ 
scendant. It is just as hardy, a prolific annual bearer, 
a brilliant red. Makes wonderful pickles, preserves, 
sauce and jelly. 
While Transcendant is a big tree—too big for the 
town lot—Dolgo is a small tree, so small that four would 
grow nicely where but one Transcendant could grow. 
Dolgo is the crab apple for the small city lot. 
Dolgo Is a dual purpose tree. It not only bears fine 
fruit, but it is a great ornamental tree. It Is a beautiful 
shapely tree that fits nicely into the finest lawn It Is 
covered with bloom In the spring, and In the fall for 
from six to eight weeks is Just loaded with brilliant red 
fruit. Begins to bear as a three-year-old. Absolutely 
hardy here.

ft. trees, $1.00; 5 trees, $4.60; 10 trees, $9.00, Express
