Hansen Alfalfa 
WHITE Seeds - WHITE flowers 
SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW: 
HANSEN WHITE 
ALFALFA 
Hansen White Alfalfa is 
an alfalfa that South Da¬ 
kota and surrounding dry 
states have been looking 
for. The farmers have had 
a great deal of trouble get¬ 
ting an Alfalfa that could 
combat the drouth and se¬ 
vere winters but you have 
in the Hansen White Alfalfa 
a plant that will withstand 
these adversities. 
A HYBRID OF OMSK 
AND COSSACK 
Prof. N. E. Hansen found 
an Alfalfa near Omsk that 
would really withstand cold 
and drouth. In this Siberian 
territory temperatures drop 
to 60 degrees below zero 
and the rainfall is only 
about 12 inches per year. 
This Alfalfa, however, did 
not have the growth he de¬ 
sired so he started to hybridize it with Cossack, 
one of the world's best hardy Alfalfas. After 
years of selection he finally selected one with 
all the qualities he 
wanted, and one with 
white seed and white 
flowers so that it would 
trade mark it and distin¬ 
guish it from any other 
alfalfa known. 
ADVANTAGES OF 
HANSEN WHITE 
ALFALFA 
Hansen White Alfalfa is 
very hardy, superior to Cos¬ 
sack, a better hay producer, 
and grows more erect. It 
outyields Grimm Alfalfa. 
The stem growth is finer 
and more leafy. In this 
variety one is surer of a 
heavier seed crop because 
white attracts bees better 
than purple or variegated 
flowers, resulting in better 
pollination. Hansen White 
Alfalfa produces 2 to 3 times 
as much seed as Cossack. 
It has a long branched root, 
especially adapted to drouth 
or unfavorable growing con¬ 
ditions. Another great fea¬ 
ture, it apparently is not 
affected by wilt. 
START WITH PLANTS 
Seed is high yet, so we 
offer only plants, and this 
is a more certain way to 
start it. Just plant them like 
any perennial roots, in fresh¬ 
ly plowed soil in holes large 
enough to permit roots to 
spread out well, then pack 
dirt around the roots, water, 
if handy, and fill with dirt. 
The crown should be just 
even with the ground. 
Cossack Seed commanded big prices for years 
and there is little doubt that Hansen White Alfalfa 
will command even bigger prices. Plant a trial 
patch of this new Alfalfa 
now, plant its seed and 
soon harvest large yields 
of this great new Hardy 
Alfalfa. Get a start in this 
new thing now and reap 
a flood of wealth in com¬ 
ing years.
