First Quality Fruit Trees 
From the time a fruit tree is started 
in the nursery until it is packed and 
forwarded to the customer, approxi- 
mately 45 hand operations by skilled 
men are required. The quality of the 
fruit tree depends largely upon the 
experience and skill of the men who 
perform those many duties in the 
growing field and packing plant. Our 
trees are grown by Charles Sondereg- 
ger; his own experience and the years 
of actual nursery work of his men 
amount to an average of over 30 years 
per man, 30 years of continuous work 
with trees and plants. If quality of 
nursery stock is to be analyzed, the 
workmanship contained in our stock 
is unsurpassed, and the hardiness of 
Nebraska upland grown stock are the 
chief ingredients of our products. You 
can depend on first class quality when FALL APPLES 
you order your planting stock from us. 

Highly Flavored Golden Winesaps 
These two apples, Anoka and the great Wealthy, ripen between the late winter apples 
listed on pages 8 and 9, and the early apples shown on page 11. In the Mid-West, East 
and Southern states they keep fairly good, usually up to early December. In the extreme 
North, where the season is too short for the late maturing Winter Apples, these fall 
apples make better keepers, and take the place of winter varieties. For our customers 
~in the northern states we recommend Anoka and Wealthy for main crop planting. 
A A oke An apple of fairly good size, yellow with red stripes. It ripens here end of

ripen through the latter part of September. This is not a new apple, it has been grown 
for a good many years, but until recently 
it was little known. Anoka begins to bear very young, 
and this fact, combined with the very nice quality of 
the fruit, brought Anoka to the foreground within
