SPECIAL NOTICE! 
There is undoubtedly a great future for j 
this plant, both for forage and seed crops. 
There will doubtless be a big rush for the 
seed and it will surely command a good • 
price for many years. It will be well to 
get a start in this new grain-grass now 
and reap the wealth in the years to come.

SIBERIAN CLOVER 
A NEW CLOVER OF REAL VALUE 
OFTEN CALLED ARCTIC SWEET CLOVER 
IN CANADA 
This remarkable Sweet Clover was introduced 
trom the dry Semipalatinsk region of Siberia by 
Prof. N. E. Hansen. It is very tall growing clover 
and will make an outstanding growth in one year, 
often reaching a height of 6 to 8 feet. Has very 
succulent stems and may be cut two or three times 
a season without harm if the last cutting is not 
done too late. 
A more rank grower than common sweet clover, 
it has a finer stem and leaf and makes better hay. 
It is much hardier and will withstand our coldest 
winters and driest summers. 
Especially good to plant where conditions for 
growing clover are most trying, for Siberian Sweet 
Clover has the stamina to stand up and defy the 
elements and produce results in spite of drouth, 
cold or heat. Yet if a more favorable season or 
soil are at hand, Siberian Sweet Clover will out¬ 
produce them all, and with forage of the finest 
grade. 
Try some now and get a real start in the win¬ 
ner of them all. Besides forage and seed for your 
own use, raise seed for market as there is a grow¬ 
ing demand for the seed at a good profit.

WE OFFER FOR THE FIRST TIME 
The plant the world has been waiting for. 
An amazing new grain that will, by hybridi¬ 
zation, produce perennial wheat. However, 
in its own right this plant is a remarkable 
new grain and forage grass. Kernels are 
long, resembling wheat, though somewhat 
smaller. 
This plant is a most vigorous grower and one 
of the hardiest of grasses through cold and drouth. 
It will grow to a height of 4 to 5 feet in a season. 
It can be cut several times for hay, may be pas¬ 
tured, or it may be left to grow and mature the 
seed crop. It will thrive in semi-arid regions and 
in poor soils, yet in better soils and with more 
moisture it will produce more luxuriantly with the 
biggest of yields. The grass stems and ieaves are 
very succulent and a great feed for livestock. 
Being perennial, this plant when once planted 
will be there for good if not disturbed. It spreads 
by stooling out, and not by underground shoots, 
so it can be easily removed by plowing it under 
when you wish to change your fields. 
Prof. N. E. Hansen and Carl A. Hansen brought 
this new plant from Siberia on one of their recent 
world-wide plant collecting trips and we offer it 
for the first time this year. 
Only a very limited supply of seed avail¬ 
able this year, so order early. 
PRICE: Per Packet of Seed, $1.00, Postpaid. 
CHEE GRASS 
A NEW FORAGE GRASS THAT DEFIES DROUTH 
Introduced by Prof. N. E. Hansen of South Da¬ 
kota State College, from one of the driest spots of 
Siberia. 
The leaves are quite wide, somewhat resembling 
a marsh hay. It will grow to a height of 8 to 
10 feet in a season with even less than 8 inches 
annual rainfall on an almost pure alkali soil. On 
ordinary soil it grows with equal vigor though not 
quite as tall but more bushy. It makes an excel¬ 
lent hay if cut two or three times, though it gets 
rather tough if left uncut all season. At no stage 
of its growth is it harmful as a stock feed. 
It may be pastured, but will produce more for¬ 
age if cut for hay. It is perennial, spreads rapidly 
by means of stolons or runners, and will last for 
years. It is established best by the plant method 
as root stolons soon make a solid field of it, though 
it is readily plowed under when the field is to be 
put into other crops. 
We offer plants only, as the seed does not ger¬ 
minate well. We recommend setting the plants 
about 6 to 12 inches apart and in rows 12 inches to 
3 feet apart. With one year's cultivating like corn, 
the result will be a much greater growth the fol¬ 
lowing season, soon making a solid field. 
PRICES: 12 Plants, 35c; 50 Plants, $1.00; 
100 Plants, $1.75; 1,000 Plants, $10.00.
