good qualities of the old Duchess and in addi- 
tion has this attractive bright red color. Red 
Duchess picked before fully ripe and canned

Red Duchess commands a good price on the 
early market.

Northwestern Greening 
and handsome; green turning yellow as it matures; flesh 
firm and sub'acid. This apple is in good demand as a 
cooking apple in late winter and spring. A good com' 
mercial variety in the southeast third of Minnesota, 
south of St. Paul, and similar territory, but it should 
be planted very sparingly north of that latitude. Season, 
December to March.

MINNESOTA No.790 
Delicious for baking. Another splendid new 
apple originated by the Minnesota State Fruit 
Breeding Farm. We offer it for the first time this 
year. No. 790 is a large, dark red winter apple, 
of good size and good quality. Besides being 
good for eating out of hand it is splendid for 
baking. It is considered superior to Rome Beauty 
for baking which up to now has been the best 
for that purpose—so much so that restaurants do 
not offer baked apples until the Rome Beauty is 
available. But the Rome Beauty tree is tender in 
’ Minnesota. Now we have in Minnesota No. 790 
a hardy tree that bears very large apples of better 
flavor than the Rome and which hold their shape 
when baked. Minnesota No. 790 hangs well to the tree 
—an important feature here where we often have high 
winds in the fall. This variety matures too late to plant 
much north of St. Paul but will be a profitable apple 
from there south. 
Annlta has a characteristic possessed by no other 
nuiva a ppl e —the uncanny ability to bear on one' 
year wood. Baby trees bear in the nursery row. Trans' 
planted into the orchard they bear the second year. 
Anoka was originated by Prof. N. E. Hansen in South 
Dakota and it has made good even up in North Dakota. 
Prof. Hansen says: “The Anoka bears on one'year wood 
and is an annual bearer. A one'year'dd tree sent to 
Fargo, North Dakota, ten years ago, has borne eight 
crops in ten years.” 
Anoka ripens in August, is similar in quality to 
Duchess and does not keep long. It is not recom' 
mended for market. 
Anoka can be supplied only in 2-3 and 3-4 foot sizes.
