THE WONDER APPLE 
Prof. N. E. Hansen, the Plant Wizard, and a 
Mature Anoka Apple Tree. 
ANOKA 
A MASTERPIECE OF FRUIT BREEDING 
BEARS AT TWO YEARS—BEST OF THOUSANDS 
HARDY . GOOD . PRODUCTIVE 
No other apple is like Anoka, none can combine 
the early bearing, wonderful flavor, and great pro¬ 
ductiveness of this Wonder Apple, It was originated 
by Prof. N. E. Hansen, the plant genius, at the South 
Dakota State College, at Brookings. 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 
hardier 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 
of his apple and crab introductions. 
BEARS EARLIEST OF ALL 
Anoka has the most remarkable ability 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—VERY PRODUCTIVE 
The size, color, and flavor of Anoka make it a popular 
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. 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. 
VERY STURDY—HARDY EVERYWHERE 
The sturdy growth of Anoka is one of its outstanding charac¬ 
teristics, and it is hardy and disease resistant throughout the 
Northwest. 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.
