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

N. E. Hansen greeting Ivan Mitchurin, the world-famous Plant Breeder of the Soviet Union. 
Taken on one of N. E. Hansen’s many trips to Russia, in search of new hardy plant material. 
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 scientific acumen. 
It deals with the remarkable work of Dr. Niels Ebbesen Hansen 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 foreign lands in the search for new, different and 
better plants, of his work in hybridizing and of the countless plant combina- 
tions 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. 
Yau will be extremely interested in his work for Russia, China and other less 
known countries of the world, his wonderful assistance in reclamation of-the® : 
Dust Bowl, and last but decidedly not least, the biographical background re- 
sponsible for this splendid type of horticultural adventure.
