We offer for a short 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 intro¬ 
TOLA. Ripens early in season. Large, 
freestone fruit making excellent sauce. One 
of the best. 
* 
ANDA. Good size, freestone, firm fruit. 
Late season. Tree very productive, fruit 
high quality. 
ZUN. Of a most excellent quality. Fruit 
round, freestone, with an unusually small 
pit. i 
SINO. Fruit small, but with excellent 
flavor. A heavy cropper, on a small tree. 
ductions to date. We give a brief descrip¬ 
tion 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, though if your order arrives late we 
hold same and fill it next season. 
Two very important points of interest 
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 al¬ 
most anywhere in America, standing and 
bearing well in climates getting as low as 
50 to 60 below zero. 
LALIN. Large yellow fruit with red blush, 
in early season. Good quality fresh. 
HULAN. Large fruit, makes good flavored 
sauce. Very heavy producer, in early sea¬ 
son. 
SANSIN. Large fruit, in heavy crop. Ex¬ 
cellent quality fresh fruit, or as rich orange 
yellow sauce.
