ANOKA—The Wonder Apple 
Three-Year Anoka Tree Bearing 
a Good Crop oi Fruit. 
One of Prof. N. E. Hansen's Greatest Introductions 
BEARS AT TWO YEARS 
HARDY—PRODUCTIVE—GOOD 
THE BEST OF THOUSANDS 
No other apple is like Anoka, none can combine the early 
bearing, wonderful flavor, and great productiveness of this 
Wonder Apple. It was originated by Prof. N. E. Hansen, the 
plant genius, at the South Dakota State College, at Brook¬ 
ings. It is the result of years of hard work and painstaking 
care^in the difficult art of proper plant hybridization. It is 
the "find” of thousands of apple and crab crosses, which 
Prof. N. E. Hansen produces in his work of originating har¬ 
dier and better apples. Anoka was selected by him from 
among a great many thousand of his crosses, as the one 
apple which combined all the best points in hardiness, early 
bearing, and productiveness, of all his apple and crab in¬ 
troductions. 
BEARS EARLIEST OF ALL 
Anoka has the most remarkable ability which prac¬ 
tically no other apple has in that it will bear on one- 
year wood and annually, thereafter, the second year 
after planting. Four-year trees have been known to 
have borne three crops of fruit. 
FINE EATING 
The size, color, and flavor of Anoka make it a pop¬ 
ular favorite. The fruit is good sized, red striped, and 
comes on early in the season. It is good eating, 
cooks up well and keeps better than most summer 
apples. 
VERY PRODUCTIVE 
Anoka is surprisingly productive, often loading its 
branches till they bend nearly to the ground, yet due 
to its sturdy habit, seldom breaks under the great 
weight. 
TREE DWARF 
Another remarkable characteristic of Anoka is its 
dwarf stature, which adapts it nicely to the back 
yard, and will allow closer planting of the trees in an 
orchard. 
VERY STURDY—HARDY EVERYWHERE 
The sturdy growth of Anoka is one of its outstand¬ 
ing characteristics, and is hardy and disease resist¬ 
ant throughout the Northwest.
