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. 
The Anoka is not a high quality Apple. The tree is hardy, an early 
ANOKA 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 
CORTLAND is a cross between McIntosh and Ben Davis. The fruit re- 
sembles that of McIntosh and while the flesh is more firm, it is just as juicy. The 
Cortland does not drop as readily 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 attrac- 
tive red Apple of the Duchess season, 
with all the good qualities of the old 
Duchess.

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- 
and is still one of Minnesota’s most 
popular Apples. It has a bright red 
color over most of its surface and is 
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 
Mountaineer Grower. 
of large size with a juicy, sprightly 
flavor. While being a leading com- 
mercial variety in the southern half of 
Minnesota, it is quite generally plant- 
ed in the northern part. No orchard 
is complete without a few Wealthy.

CRAB APPLES 
(Formerly No. 240.) This new introduction 
CHESTNUT * * * of the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm has been 
widely tested. It is equally good for eating fresh, for sauce, pickles and pies. 
Professor Alderman says of this fine Crab: “The large size and exceptionally 
fine eating quality of this fruit would lead most people to class it as a small Apple. 
It will be especially useful in school lunches. Attractive bronze-red, crisp, juicy. 
Ripens early September; keeps until November.”

DOLGO A 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 [his 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.” 
WHITNEY 42 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.
