CARL A. HANSEN NURSERY, BROOKINGS. SOUTH DAKOTA 
Special Fall and Winter Announcement 
Herewith we present our Fall and Winter Special Sale Catalog. We issue a catalog at 
this time of the year for two main reasons: First, to offer those things that plant just as 
well or better in the fall, and at lower prices; second, to give our customers farther South, 
East and West the opportunity to buy their stock now for delivery at the proper time, 
whereas to order in spring is not the best time for them. 
Fall has long been known as the best time to plant Tulips, Peonies, Perennials and 
many other plants. Of late years the results have so conclusively proved that for many 
other plants fall planting is not only to be desired, but is really better than spring 
planting, and for most plants it is as good or better. Fall planting can be done when the 
v/eather is cool and plants are able to settle down and take root after rainy weather, and 
the season ahead is cool and damp instead of hot and dry as after spring planting. 
In fall vre can offer much better service and deliver plants in much better shape to 
many regions where spring delivery is late because of the difference in our seasons. By 
the time our spring catalog is mailed and orders are received, it is often past the ideal 
time for spring planting in many localities. If our customers do not want to plant the 
plants permanently in fall, they can have them delivered and can "heel them in" (cover 
the roots with soil in the garden like we do in nursery practice) and they will have them 
ready to plant at just the right time for earliest planting in spring. 
Another big factor for fall ordering and shipping is that you get the pick of the plants 
freshly dug from the ground, and our delivery service is better because we are not so 
rushed as in spring. Furthermore, for fall shipments you buy plants at pre-spring prices, 
as we can make you much better prices then and save you a good deal of money.
