Below Are Listed Some of the Popular Old 

Red Van Buren Bears Heavily 
Favorites 
Although through the efforts. of the fruit breeders, we have new varieties of fruits 
superior to the older varieties in many respects, there are still a few of the older ones that 
are worthy of being planted and have maintained their popularity throughout the years. | 
Below we list the most popular. 
ANOKA The Anoka is not a high quality Apple. The tree is hardy, an early cropper, 
sometimes bearing the second year after planting, but the fruit lacks color, 
flavor and keeping quality. We cannot recommend it where Beacon or Red Van Buren 
can be grown. 
The Cortland is an introduction of the New York Station and is a 
CORTLAND cross between McIntosh and Ben Davis. The fruit resembles that of 
McIntosh and while the flesh is more firm, it is just as juicy. The Cortland does not drop as 
‘eadily before picking, and ships better. 
DUCHESS | See Red Van Buren. 
RED VAN BUREN For many years 
this variety has 
been thought to be a red sport of Duchess 
discovered by J. P. Van Buren in his orchard 
at Stockport, New York. However, it is now 
known to be a red sport of a Russian variety. 
The fruit resembles the Duchess except that 
the red is solid. A most attractive red Apple 
of the Duchess season, with all the good 
qualities of the old Duchess. 
WEALTHY The Wealthy is an old 
stand-by and is still one of 
Minnesota’s most popular Apples. It has a 
bright red color over most of its surface and 
is of large size with a juicy, sprightly flavor. 
While being a leading commercial variety in 
A TRIBUTE TO APPLES 
Dr. Josiah Oldfield, senior medical 
officer of a great London hospital and 
one of England’s foremost food ex- 
perts, said during the war: “English 
stamina, courage, endurance and heart 
for the war depend on complete nerve 
nutrition. Apples, lemons and oranges 
are immeasurably the most important 
fruits which are nerve foods and with- 
out the presence of whose salts physio- 
logical functions fail. It will be a grave 
risk to England if her supply of apples 
is cut off because they are superior to 
either lemons or oranges and cannot be 
replaced by any other fruit."—From 

the southern half of Minnesota, it is quite Mountaineer Grower. 
generally planted in the northern part. No 
orchard is complete without a few Wealthy.

CRAB APPLES 
DOLGO 4 comparatively new and very unusual Crab Apple. It has been called the 
“Perfect Crab.” The fruit is strikingly beautiful, bright fiery red, borne in 
great profusion. It jells perfectly—even when dead ripe. Dolgo is free from blight and is 
rapidly displacing the old varieties such as Transcendent and Hyslop. Dolgo makes a 
beautiful lawn tree and may be used on the home grounds instead of Mountain Ash. 
PIOTOSH This is a new introduction from Canada. The Morden Experiment Station 
in Canada writes of the Piotosh: “I understand it is being planted rather 
widely as a commercial crab, being a good preserver, good for jelly and also fair as dessert. 
It is medium large, attains a bright red color, making it very attractive. Piotosh is a distinct 
improvement over Whitney. With us it has fruited more heavily, is better quality, more 
attractive, and hardier.” 
RED RIVER CRAB 4 splendid introduction from the North Dakota Agricultural 
Station; being a cross between Dolgo and Delicious, it com- 
bines the beauty, color and life of the Dolgo with the sweet flavor of Delicious. 
WHITNEY 4» old favorite, a large, red, mild-flavored Crab, excellent for eating, 
canning and pickles. Perfectly hardy, never blights, and is a heavy 
cropper. It ripens early.
