Hansen Alfalfa 
WHITE Seeds - WHITE flowers 
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 hy¬ 
bridize it with Cossack, one 
of the world's best hardy al¬ 
falfas. After years of selec¬ 
tion 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 distinguish it from 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.

HANSjEN GRASS 
Defies Drouth . . . Green All Summer 
OFFERED LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME 
Ohl for a lawn that will stay green, without watering, all 
summer. Yet this is exactly what Hansen Grass will dol 
Even in the driest weather. It has the brightest green color 
of any grass I have ever seen and it will keep this color 
throughout the season even through the driest weather, 
whether you water it or not. 
I originally found this grass growing in the wild, in a semi- 
arid region in the heart of cold central East Siberia. Its unique 
beauty and brilliant green first caught my attention because 
it stood out from all the other vegetation which was in a 
rather dried up condition. After closer observation, its dwarf 
nature and fine stems really enthused me, and I decided that 
here was a grass that had real possibilities. 
Not until I had brought this new grass safely back to 
America and had it in my nursery for further tests and propa¬ 
gation did I realize what a find it really was. Nature had 
given this new grass the inherent qualities for a hardier, finer, 
dwarf growing, drouth resistant lawn covering, all wrapped 
up, as it were, in one small package. 
Since then we have been growing and propagating it as 
rapidly as possible so that others can enjoy it too. 
We only have a few plants available this year but while 
they last and to those who get their order in early we offer 
them out. 
Place your order now. Plants will be shipped at the proper 
time when ready, alone in a separate package from your 
Carl A. Hansen taken in Siberia shortly other nursery stock order. 
after he had found this new grass. Price on Hansen Grass: Per Plant, $1.00, Postpaid.
