Dr. N. E. Hansen's 
granddaughter, 
Carlene, standing 
by one of his new 
young Hardy Apri¬ 
cots, which bear as 
early as his famous 
Sapa Plums. 
CHOW. Very heavy producer. Yellow 
fruit that is good to eat fresh and when 
cooked makes a delightful sauce of quality. 
SING. Abundant crops of large rich or¬ 
ange fruit. Flavor stronger than some of 
the others, especially cooked. Very good. 
ANDA. Heavy crops in late season. Free¬ 
stone. Fruit of good size. Stays firm even 
when cooked. One of the best in quality. 
ZUN. Fruit is round, freestone, and it has 
an unusually small pit. The quality of this 
one is nearly excellent. Mid-season. 
MANCHU. Large fruit in heavy crop. 
Yellow. Tops in size and quality. Cooks 
up into excellent, pale yellow sauce. 
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¬ 
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. 
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.
