ANOKA 
ANOKA has a quality possessed by no other 
apple today ... a quality which accounts for its 
cordial reception all over the country ... the un- 
canny ability to bear on one-year wood. Anoka 
bears in the nursery row, and will bear in your 
orchard one year after it is set out. 
ANOKA—for the Cold Northwest—Anoka was 
bred in South Dakota and has made good in North 
Dakota. 
Professor Yeager, Horticulturist, North Dakota Ex- 
periment Station, says: '’The Anoka is in my opinion 
the most promising apple we have at present in 
North Dakota. The fruit is good to eat, better, in 
fact, than such varieties as Duchess. Anoka seems 
to point the way toward a new type of apple which 
will not require as many years to come into bear- 
gop 
ANOKA—Resists Blight—There is not much cure 
for this disease—the only practical thing is to plant 
varieties that do not blight. 
Professor Yeager says: “Anoka resists blight bet- 
ter than most varieties.” 
ANOKA—Ripens Early—lIt ripens early before 
most of our apples are ready and is a most wel- 
come early summer eating apple—better flavor than 
Duchess.

BEACON—% Size 
BEACON 
Originated at Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm 
FOR HOME—Beacon is early, but unlike 
most early Apples, it is not quickly perishable. 
Even though it ripens with or just a few days 
later than Duchess, it keeps easily into the 
Wealthy season. This good handling and 
keeping quality, together with all-red color 
make Beacon a very exceptional early Apple. 
OR FOR MARKET—Beacon colors a bright 
red in August and keeps well up into October. 
It's uniform in shape and firm—ideal for han- 
dling and shipping—outstanding on any mar- 
ket. 
The Beacon Apple is apparently establishing 
itself very satisfactorily throughout Minnesota 
and the surrounding territory. The fact that it 
is very hardy and of early maturity makes it 
a valuable home orchard variety in the north- 
ern and western parts of the state. The com- 
mercial growers in the Southeastern quarter of 
the state are reporting marked success with 
Beacon because its high color, its dependable 
bearing habit, and its good handling qualities 
make it a good market Apple for the early 
season.
