Dark Red Delicious. The same description as for

qualities of the original Delicious, it also has the 
advantage of an exquisite deep red color covering 
the entire fruit. One of the best additions to the 
list of apple varieties since the original Delicious. 
Anoka. Called the “Old Folks Apple” because it 
comes into bearing at an early age, often having 
some fruit the second year after planting. It is 
very resistant to cold temperatures. Bears heavily. — 
Fruit is of good size, colored red with yellow 
streaks, ripens in midsummer, and is fine for cook- 
ing. The tree does not grow so large as some other 
varieties, and is therefore good for planting in the 
yard if other space is not available.
