New Manchurian Apricots 
Super Hardy—Drought Resistant 
introduced by Prof. N. E. Hansen, So. Dak. State College 
Fruit growers may plant these true hardy Manchurian 
Apricots with confidence 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 introduced as result of Prof. Hansen’s Hybridiza- 
tion 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. 
Manchu 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. 
Scout This variety was introduced by the Dominion 
Experiment Station, Manitoba, Canada. It is 
possibly the hardiest and most productive of all these 
newer Manchurian Apricots. 
* . A fine large golden yellow 
Blenheim Apricot Apricot of highest quality. 
Not a new variety but one that:is grown extensively out on 
the Pacific Coast and considered one of the best canners.

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.

Special Instructions 
You will be assured of success with Per- 
simmons, Red Bud, Paw Paw and Dogwoods 
if at planting time you will wrap the trunks 
quite snugly with heavy paper or burlap— 
and the tops loosely with the same material. 
Remove the top protection on a cloudy day 
just as soon as buds show green in .the 
Spring. The trunks may be left wrapped for 
the first year. This precaution is especially 
desirable when planting these items in the 
Fall. 
Persimmon Trees are what are botanically 
known as ‘“Diocious,” i.e. some are male 
and some female trees. We recommend 
planting two or more trees in close prox- 
imity to insure proper pollenization.
