‘New Manchurian Apricots 
Super Hardy—Drought Resistant 
Introduced by Prof. N. E. Hansen, So. Dak. State College 
Fruit growers may plant these new Apricots with confi- 
dence anywhere in the U. S. Trees bear at a very early 
age—at 2 and 3 years after planting. The fruits ripen early 
ahead of Plums. About fifteen varieties have been intro- 
duced as result of Prof. Hansen’s Hybridization with the 
rugged varieties from northern Manchuria. We are offering 
the three which we feel are the best from the standpoint of 
quality and size. . 
anchu Large yellow fruit. No. 1 in size and qual- 
ity. Bears heavy at an early age. Cooks up 
into good quality yellow sauce. Apparently the largest 
fruit of the group. 
Tola Very early, large, freestone. Makes highest quality 
sauce. 
S y This variety was introduced by the Dominion 
cou Experiment Station, Manitoba, Canada. It is 
possibly the hardiest and most productive of all these 
newer Apricots. The official description of the Scout va- 
riety is as follows: 
Tree is over 12 feet tall, vigorous, hardy to hot summers 
and cold winters, and productive to the topmost branches. 
Fruit is bronzy gold sometimes red blushed, size 1 9/16 by 
1 7/16 by 1 4/16 inches, suture distinct, stone free, flesh 
yellow, tender, free of fibre, skin thin, tender, flavor pleas- 
ing as dessert, canned or jam.

Planting and Cultural Directions for the Manchurian 
Apricots are the same as for Peach Trees. Cut the top 
and side branches back one-half to one-third their 
length when planting. Dig the holes when the ground 
works mellow—never when ground is wet—and it will 
well repay you to mix a gallon of wet Peat Moss with 
the dirt around the roots. 
Dusting the fruits with Sulphur during the summer 
season will prevent Apricots (also Plums, Nectarines 
and Peaches) from rotting on the trees before fully ripe.
