3 Generations of HANSENS 
FOREWORD 
We always take a great deal of pleas- 
ure each year in greeting our many 
friends everywhere and sending them 
our catalog. We feel that we know 
personally everyone who sends us an 
order. Our customers know we do not 
offer everything old and new in horti- 
culture, but rather just some of the 
newest and best and especially hardy 
stock. Practically everything we offer 
in this catalog is an introduction of 
Prof. N. E. Hansen or Carl A. Hansen 
or Paul R. Hansen. Many hardy fruits 
and ornamentals, now widely propa- 
ated by many nurseries, saw their 
rat light of publicity in these pages. 
Many things we have offered some- 
times are very startling, and often we 
have been able to offer them only 
once. Then we have not been able to 
list them again for several years be- Carl Andreas Hansen 
cause we were not able to catch up 
Niels Ebbesen Hansen on production of them. The demand 
for them has been so great. 
Zz We would like to especial- | 
ly call your attention to a | 
few new things in this cata- — 
log—the startling new apple | 
introduction which has all 
ries (page 13). There are 
| many others, but we want 
} to especially call your at- 
+ tention to these new things, 
| because they are especially 
| good and because our sup- 
ply is short, so if interested, 
please order them as soon
