“To Plant the Prairies and the Plains” 
A Biographical Story of Horticultural Adventure of 
Dr. N. E. Hansen 
By MRS. H. J. TAYLOR 




























Here is a story of interest to 
student and layman. alike—a 
saga of adventure and success 
in a field not usually considered 
in terms of physical courage and 
determination, as well as scien- 
tific acumen. 
It deals with the remarkable 
work of Dr. Niels Ebbesen Han- 
sen in exploring for, developing, 
improving and hybridizing plants, 
fruits and grains with which to 
make our bleaker northern and 
western prairies productive and 
prosperous in spite of adverse 
climatic conditions. It details how 
foodstuffs for both man and beast 
have been introduced and made 
to thrive by Dr. N. E. Hansen in 
territory hitherto producing little 
but drouth, high temperatures in 
summer and extremely low ones 
in winter. 
It tells of his many trips to for- 
eign lands in the search for new, 
different and better plants, of his 
work in hybridizing and of the 
countless plant combinations with 
which he has experimented. It 
tells of his hundreds of plant in- 
troductions and of the intriguing 
way in which they have been 
made. 
You will be extremely inter- 
ested in his incidental work for 
Russia, China and other less 
known countries of the world, his gf 
wonderful assistance in reclamag™ 
tion of the Dust Bowl, and lage 
but decidedly not least, the }x 
graphical background respo 
for this splendid type of hog 
tural adventure.
