Fancy RHUBARB 
( PIE PLANT) 
My Giant Rhubarb, the heaviest producing variety on the 
market, will produce for you an unexcelled quality of Rhu¬ 
barb. The stalks are heavy, 12 to 16 inches long, of uni¬ 
form size, lower half of crimson color. This Rhubarb is 
tender, possesses a remarkably fine ffavor. I furnish whole 
roots, solid with nice crowns, ready to do well in your 
garden. This is the best grade of roots you can plant, 
and far superior to hollow crowns, or old root divisions. 
Realizing that due to drought many of the old plantings 
have to be replanted, I am anxious to help my customers 
get new plantings started, and am pricing the roots very 
low.

Bush Cherry 
I sold this variety for the first time 
last year; the original stock that is 
true to name, and I have the same 
stock again for 1938. This bush came 
through the dry summer in fine shape, 
and resisted drought as well as in¬ 
sects. It makes a pretty hedge, foun¬ 
dation planting, or border for taller 
plantings such as windbreaks where it 
serves as a snow-trap. The fruit is of 
the sand-cherry type, almost as large 
as the native plums with very small 
pit, and can be used for preserves. 
They are easy to start, and will grow 
to a height of 5 ft., can be kept lower 
by shearing if they are planted for a 
low hedge. The Bush Cherry blooms 
beautifully in the spring, at that time 
it would rank with the prettiest of 
white flowering shrubs. I advise you 
to plant a number of these true Han¬ 
sen Bush Cherries, you will like them. 
Nice plants, 3 for 25c; 10 for 55c; 25 
for $1.10; 100 for $3.80; postpaid.

This is not a new Gooseberry; it has 
been on the market for many years, 
but was always so scarce that the de¬ 
mand could never be fully supplied. 
And being rather slow to propagate it 
was never possible to grow large quan¬ 
tities of this plant. The bush is of 
spreading habit, growing to even, well 
branched bush form. The berries are 
extra large, oval, greenish yellow when 
ripe, and will get sweet, of fine quality 
for raw eating or canning. It is hardy 
wherever gooseberries can be grown. 
For special restrictions on Gooseber¬ 
ries see page 15. Place your order 
early so I can reserve your plants. 
50c each; 3 for $1.35; 10 for $4.00; 
postpaid. 
This is a new fruit, smooth like the 
Russian Apiicot, and large; the size 
of budded Peaches. The flavor is a 
most extraordinary blend of the finest 
of the Peach qualities, and the rich¬ 
ness of the Apricot. The tree origi¬ 
nated in Colorado, and is hardy in the 
Middle West. In home orchards and 
in commercial plantings I suggest that 
at least a few of this new variety are 
included. It will be something entire¬ 
ly new on the market, and for home 
use it will be a fruit you could not 
buy. 2 to 3 ft. nice trees, 60c each; 
3 for $1.65. 3 to 4 ft. branched trees, 
80c each; 3 for $2.25; postpaid. 
For budded Peaches see page 10, and 
budded Apricote page 9. Special low 
prices on No. 1 stock of Apricot seed¬ 
lings for quick results in windbreak 
rows, see page 9.
