CARL A. HANSEN NURSERY, BROOKINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA 
THE NEW HANSEN APRICOTS 
t 
We offer for the first time, Hansen's new sensational Northwest hardy apricots. Just 
recently introduced by Prof. N. E. Hansen, of South Dakota State College, who has been 
working for many years to produce hardy apricots that would be good eating and large 
size and still would withstand the rigors of Dakota's cold and drouth. 
Those offered herewith are his best introductions to date. We give a brief description 
of each, though they are all good and it is rather hard to say just which one is best. 
Only time, experience, and tests can best prove that. 
In ordering, please give a second or third choice as our supply of each variety this year 
is limited. It will also be a good idea to order as promptly as possible for we may not 
have sufficient stock to offer them all season. 
Two very important points of ipterest stand out in regard to these new apricots. One 
is that they are perhaps one of the most drouth resistant of all trees, coming through the 
terrible drouths of 1933, 1934 and 1935 with flying colors—full foliage and no apparent 
effect whatever from the dry hot weather, and with a great crop of fruit. The second 
point is that they are hardy almost anywhere in America, standing and bearing well in 
climates getting as low as 50 to 60 below zero.

Long experience proves that 
orchards bear best when many 
varieties are grown. The bees 
carry the pollen from tree to tree 
and from variety to variety and 
thus insure good pollination and 
setting of fruit. The South Dakota Mixed Orchards Bear Best 
State College Horticultural Exper¬ 
imental Orchard here at Brookings has demonstrated this fact conclusively. To enable 
everyone to have the same success, the following collection of Professor N. E. Hansen 
fruit introductions is offered. The collection will contain not less than 15 varieties of 
Professor N. E. Hansen's introductions of apples, crabs, plums, cherries, the new apricots, 
and pears, our selection, but preference may be given, which will be followed in so far 
as possible.
