3 Generations of HANSENS 
FOREWORD 1946 
THANK YOU for your fine or- 
ders of the past season. We trust 
you will be with us again this 
year. 
We have added quite a few 
new introductions to our list this 
year and we hope you will try 
some of them. 
Dr. N. E. Hansen, my father, 
whose picture appears here with 
my son, Paul, and I, is in no busi- 
ness way connected with my nur- 
sery, but is with the Horticulture 
Niels Ebbesen Hansen Department of South Dakota State Carl Andreas Hansen 
College, here in Brookings. Nat- 
urally, he is a great inspiration to me in my work, and it is with a great deal of pride 
that I read the many letters we receive from folks all over the country telling of their 
successes with the many plants that dad has originated and introduced during the 
past fifty years and more of work. 

If you can't send us an order, write us anyway, as your letters are always very 
welcome and very helpful in determining the course of our plans and our work. 
Dr. N. E. Hansen has many more new plants coming on that 
have required many years of painstaking research and effort to 
bring along toward successful introduction. His many great 
introductions thus far, such as Cossack Alfalfa, the Waneta, Sapa, 
Opata and Hanska Plums, the Anoka Apple, the Dolgo Crab, and 
on down the list, have been in the aggregate worth millions of 
dollars in profits and pleasure to the people of the Northwest. 
Every possible aid in the way of land, money and workers 
should now be given to Dr. N. E. Hansen, as never before, so 
that he can go on and complete the many experiments he has 
under way, for when he is gone no one will be able to rightfully 
complete the work and experiments he has started. The cost to 
the nation and the cost to our state is very small compared to 
the great benefits the people have received and will continue — 
to receive from Dr. N. E. Hansen's untiring efforts. Paul Robert Hansen 
CARL A. HANSEN.
