The Apple Tree That is Different From All Other Apples 
Anoka is a new Apple produced by that great plant wizard of South Dakota, Professor Nieu 
Hansen. The tree starts to bear very young, often producing Apples on two'year'dd 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 (one'year trees). In the fall of 1922 that Station made the following report: “This 
spring'two of the four trees blossomed; one produced 23 Apples, the other 26.” 
Twelve years ago we purchased two trees from Professor Hansen. The second year after 
planting, one of the little trees—then only a three-year-old—produced 14 large Apples; the 
other tree 12, Neither of the trees is 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.

Everyone living in a climate 
similar to that of Minnesota knows 
of the long search that has been 
made for hardy pears. A number of 
varieties have been found that are 
now doing well in Minnesota. Of 
these, the Patten No. 5 is the hard' 
iest. Even North Dakota houses 
carry this pear on their lists. The 
Patten is a big pear, turning yellow 
and mellowing on the tree as it 
ripens. It is wonderfully juicy, sweet, 
and fine flavored. The hardiest of all 
good pears. 
Nice 4 to 5 ft. trees, 
80c each; 2 for $1.50.
