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- 
gated by many nurseries, saw their 
first light of publicity in these pages.
