SOME OF THE POPULAR OLD FAVORITES 

Yes, we have many new varieties of fruits supe- 
ior to the old ones in many respects. But still 
there are a few of the old favorites well worth 
planting that have kept their popularity down 
through the years. Here are a few of them: 























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 flavor, color 
and keeping quality. We cannot recommend it where 
Beacon or Red Van Buren will grow. 
CORTLAND 
A seedling of McIntosh introduced by the New York | 
station. Fruit resembles McIntosh, but is more firm 
and just as juicy. Does not drop as readily before 
picking ships better. 
DUCHESS See Red Van Buren. 
HIBERNAL 
A large green apple suitable for cooking only. Grown 
on Andrews hardy Northern Root Stocks, Hibernal 
is ideal as an intermediate stock for the top working 
of other varieties because of its hardiness, sturdy trunk 
and crotches. 
JONATHAN 
A crisp, tender, all-around red apple, juicy and full of 
snap. Dark red ... high quality . . . a good keeper. 
Recommended only for Southeastern Minnesota and 
regions farther south and east. 
MINNESOTA No. 790 * k * 
Large, firm, dark red apple with the proper sugar con- 
tent that holds its shape while being baked. Tests by 
The Hotel and Restaurant association have proved it 
superior to the older, accepted baking varieties. Eats 
well and makes excellent pie and sauce, too. 
A good, consistent cropper for home or commer- 
cial orchards that keeps better than many fall 
varieties.
