Hansen Apricot 
NEW ‘HANSEN APRICOT 
THE SUPER HARDY APRICOT 
Hansen’s new sensational Northwest hardy apricot. Recently introduced 
by Prof. N. E. Hansen, of South Dakota State College, who has been 
working for many years to produce hardy apricots that would be good 
eating and large size and still would withstand the rigors of Dakota’s 
cold and drought. Two very important points of interest stand out in 
regard to these new apricots. One is that they are perhaps one of 
most drought resistant of all trees, coming through the terrible droughts 
of 1933, 1934, and 1935 with flying colors—full foliage and no apparent 
effect whatever from the dry, hot weather, and with a great crop of 
fruit. The second point is that they are hardy almost anywhere in 
America, standing and bearing well in climates getting as low as 50 
and 60 below zero. Prices: 2 to 3 foot $1.00 each; 3 to 4 foot $1.35 each; 
4 to 5 foot trees $1.70 each.
