FARIBAULT . MINN. 
HpsUcoti 
FOR MINNESOTA 
Three years ago we did not dream it were possible to grow Apricots in 
Minnesota. But Hansen, the fruit wizard of the South Dakota Fruit Breed' 
ing Station, has turned the trick. Starting with Manchurian Apricots 
brought back with him from one of his far-flung trips to Siberia, he has, 
by hard work and most careful selection, given us a line of Apricots that 
are of finest quality and hardy over the Dakotas and Minnesota. This brings 
a most desirable and long wanted fruit to the entire middle northwest. 
We are offering here what we consider Hansen’s best introductions to 
date, and we would suggest that in ordering, a second choice should always 
be given. We would also suggest where six or a dozen are ordered, that 
you leave the selection to us and we are sure we will satisfy. 
Keep in mind these Apricots are about the most drought-resistant trees 
we know of as they came through the great drought years of 1933, 1934, 
and 1935, with full foliage and with no apparent bad effects whatever from 
the terrible droughts. They bore great crops of fruit each year. This was 
in South Dakota where the climate is much more trying than in southern 
Minnesota. Also remember that they are hardy almost everywhere in 
America, standing and bearing well in climates as low as 50 and 60 below 
zero. 
We are giving only short descriptions of the varieties we have to offer 
MANCHU. Largest yellow, No. 1 in size. Heavy bearer. Sauce excellent 
quality, pale yellow. 
MANDARIN. Large, rich yellow fruit. High quality, either fresh or cooked. 
TOLA. An early variety to ripen. A large freestone that makes excellent 
sauce. One of the best. 
ANDA. Good size, freestone. A late variety. Fruit of high quality. Very 
productive. 
SANSIN. Large fruit. Heavy cropper. Excellent to eat fresh, or as a rich 
orange-yellow sauce.

The outstanding new Purple Cap Raspberry. In 
the Sodus we have a new Purple Raspberry that is 
very large and the fruit is of the very finest eating 
quality. Many people prefer the Purple Raspberries 
to the Red. The plant is very thrifty and some say 
it is the greatest bearer of all Raspberries. Try this 
new berry.

RED RASPBERRIES 
LATHAM. Greatest of all Raspberries. (See color illustration on page 32.) More 
money can be made growing red Raspberries for market than from any other 
farm crop. The Latham is the greatest red Raspberry ever introduced. In com¬ 
petition with all other high producing varieties at the Connecticut Experiment 
Farm under official test the crop yield per acre was: 
Latham . 5430 Quarts 
Herbert . 3648 Quarts 
Cuthbert . 3600 Quarts 
Which conclusively shows the outstanding superiority of Latham as a producer 
and a money-maker. In our own fields we have netted over $1000 per acre from 
Latham. Our fields of Raspberries are inspected three times every growing season 
by official state inspectors and our stock is certified mosaic free. There are more 
Latham Raspberry plants grown at Faribault, Minnesota, for sale than any one 
other city in the world. There are no better plants grown than we offer. Latham 
can be grown all over the country the most successfully of all Red Raspberries. 
Heavy No. 1 plants: 12 for 80c; 25 for #1.15; 50 for #1.90; 100 for #3.25, post¬ 
paid. 
CHIEF. America’s greatest early Red Raspberry. It ripens 10 to 12 days earlier than 
Latham. Yields 25 to 30 per cent more fruit. It has never shown any winter 
injury here and so far has been mosaic free. The quality is better than Latham. 
It is all picked and sold before Latham begins to ripen. Heavy No. 1 plants: 
12 for 80c; 25 for #1.15; 50 for #1.90; 100 for #3.25, postpaid. 
TAYLOR. Red Raspberry. Seemingly the best of the new Red Raspberries, coming 
from the New York Geneva Station. Taylor is a very large berry, larger than 
Latham. The color is a bright red and the quality is of the very best. It is a real 
quality berry. 3 for 90c; 12 for #2.25; 25 for #3.75, postpaid.
