Neu HANSEN'S MANCHURIAN 
ste Sp APRICOTS 





HARDY EVERYWHERE. No longer do we tell our customers that we cannot 
handle or recommend Apricots, for in this fine, newly developed strain of the 
eminent Dr. Hansen is HARDINESS that withstands extreme northern conditions. 
Not only that, it is one of the most drought resistant of all trees. 
IT IS GOOD EATING. The fruit is of,good quality and flavor, and of medium 
size—excellent for sauce and preserves. What a pleasure it is to pick Apricots 
fresh from your own trees, and the fine part is they start bearing when very 
young, usually the second year. 
aaa 7 : ~ j ORDER EARLY—STOCK LIMITED. We ran out of these last spring before 
= a F the planting season was over, so get your order in quickly to avoid disappoint- 
; awe ment. Remember they are extra hardy trees, northern grown, and will start 
fruiting in a year or two.

See ‘Table Stow showing dis Z 
tance apart to plant fruit trees. In — 
setting your trees, follow closely the 
drawing on this page, being careful 
to set deeply and firmly in good soil, 
then prune the top back severely. 
The ideal place for small fruits such 
as raspberries, is between the rows 
of fruit trees; they will then both get 
the shallow cultivation - that means 
best success. 
To produce healthy, well devel- 
oped fruit, you should spray your 
trees at least three times a year with 
Bordeaux Mixture, which can be se- ~ 
cured at any drug store. First, they 
should’ be sprayed in the cluster bud 
stage, when the buds show pink but 
have not opened up; second, when — 
95 per cent of the petals have fallen; 
third, three weeks after the second 
spray. You will find fruit trees easy — 
of culture; they will do well on al-_ 
‘most any well-drained soil. 

“How Far Apart Shall 1 
Plant?” 
The correct distance apart to plant 
is often a problem to planters. There 
are no set rules for this, but with our 
years of experience in planting and 
growing, we are glad to suggest ad- 
visable distances to our customers, 
which will work very satisfactorily in 
every way. - : i
