A Word About 
Hansen’s Hardy 
Plums 
Prof. N. E. Hansen of the South Dakota 
State College has spent a lifetime develop- 
ing hardy plants for the north. Working 
with hardy fruits and plants he gathered 
in the cold wastes of Siberia and Russia, he 
developed and crossed them with the large- 
fruited American trees over a period of sev- 
eral decades until he produced heavy bear- 
ing trees of good quality fruit HARDY 
ENOUGH TO BE PLANTED ANYWHERE 
IN THE NORTH. 
Like Burbank worked on fruits for the 
south, Hansen is the Burbank of the 
NORTH developing Hardy fruits of good 
quality. In fact, he is claimed to be the 
greatest living plant breeder.

brids he has made, and are some of the J. H. HALE
