ANDREWS’ HARDY APRICOTS 
ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR THE 
FRUIT BREEDERS 
Fruit growers of the Northwest have been greatly sur' 
prised and delighted with the new hardy Apricots which 
are now available to planters. 
Prof. Hansen of South Dakota State College released a 
group of 12 new Apricots, and the Experimental Station 
of Morden, Canada, has also released a very fine apricot 
called Scout. We secured propagating wood from the 
originators, and offer the complete assortment. 
These make a splendid addition to the fruits that may 
be grown in the northern areas. 
Two very outstanding points of interest about these 
Apricots is their extreme drought resistance and their ex' 
treme hardiness. Heat and drought, or the other extreme 
of 50 degrees below zero, does not interfere with their 
vigorous growth and heavy crops. 
Another advantage of these Apricots is their early sea^ 
son. Ripening ahead of Plums, they find a ready market. 
SCOUT APRICOT 
The Morden Weekly News Letter says: “The Scout 
Apricot tree is over 12 feet tall. It tolerated recent cold 
winters much better than most local Apple trees, and seems 
to enjoy the dry hot summers of the past few years. Fruit 
is produced generously even on the topmost branches. 
It is a bronzy, gold color, often with red blush at the stem 
end; size, 1'9/16" x 1'7/16" x 1'4/16", suture distinct, 
PROF. HANSEN'S APRICOTS 
Prof. Hansen writes: “Hardy apricots are 
here—^probably the greatest hardy fruit intro¬ 
duction in many years. I saved seed from many 
fruits and now have 45 seedlings. The trees are 
a beautiful sight in bloom. The large flowers, 
white with distinct pink tinge, appear early be- 
fore the leaves. The fruit is yellow, somewhat 
smaller than the apricots of commerce, and makes 
delicious preserves." 
The Best Twelve Varieties Are Described Below 
MANCHU. Large yellow fruit; heavy crop. Fruit No. 1 
in size and quality. Cooks up into pale yellow, good 
quality sauce. Apparently the largest fruit in this lot 
of seedlings.

best in quality, fresh or when cooked. 
CHOW. Tree productive; fruit large, good eating. Pale 
yellow sauce of good quality.

BLACK WALNUT 
We offer a hardy strain of the Minnesota Black Wal¬ 
nut. A group of these trees might well be on every 
farm. 
They are easy to 
grow, and it’s mighty 
fine to 
have a 
supply of the nuts for the kiddies.
