A five-month old stand of Improved Forage Type Crested Wheat Grass 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
The hardiest and most drought resistant, long lived perennial bunch grass, 
related to Western Wheatgrass, introduced by Professor N. E. Hansen of 
our South Dakota State College who found it in Siberia, from where he also 
introduced Siberian Cossack Alfalfa. 
IMPROVED FORAGE TYPE of Crested Wheatgrass is finer stemmed and 
possesses 10 per cent more leaf and is definitely superior to the standard 
types. It becomes green in the spring earlier than other grasses and stays 
green later in the fall. It produces twice as much pasture and hay of high 
palatability and nutritive value as native grass. Produces twice as much 
beef, mutton and wool and shows no bad effect from heavy grazing. Broad¬ 
cast 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. It has the ability to grow in low temperatures 
and starts growing earlier. Every farmer and rancher should plant this 
grass and do it early in the season. The very best top quality seed of the 
heavier yielding Forage Type strain: 
10 ibs. $2.20; 25 lbs. $4.75; 50 lbs. $9.25; 100 lbs. $18.00 including bags.
