HANSEN PROSO~— The Salvation ‘Grain! 
The Best Catch Crop For The Northwest—Matures In 60 Days 
Can Be Planted Later And Will Stand More Dry Weather Than Any Other Grain 
Hansen Proso was introduced along with many other varieties of Proso from Siberi 5 
ee nee Sune Bun ee kernels, and the Pretest Ric ee aie 
1s extremely valuable as a catch crop even for the north, as it will mature in 60 
crops are planted even after they show signs of failure. Though it does best when Pe Tee hae ee 
and still mature a good crop of grain. It may even be sown after removing an early crop of oats or barley and thus raise 
two ct OP aSCe from the same ground in one year. It often yields 300 to 500 fold of good clean grain, weighing 60 to 64 pounds 
per bushel. 
The seed is round and several times the size of ordinary millet. It grows in a sprangley head, resembling oats. The color of 
the inner kernel of grain is white. Hansen Proso is suitable for feeding whole or ground. It is very valuable as a fattening 
grain for hogs as weil as a good general feed for cattle, horses, and chickens. Chickens prefer it to corn or wheat. 
Many farmers claim that Hansen Proso will put on a quicker and solider fat than will corn. The U. S. Dept. of Agricul- 
ture in their Proso Bulletin give many valuable statistics in this regard. 
We do not advise using it excluding all corn. But we do say that if you will 
It was then 

sow about two-thirds the corn that you 
usually do and sow that extra acreage to Hansen Proso that the increased value of feed will make you a good increase in 
profit. And right now with the scarcity of seed, there is a demand worth considering in seed grain. 
When hulled and ground Proso may be used as a breakfast cereal, similar to wheat or rice, or as a flour in breads and 
other pastry. Sow 15 to 25 pounds to the acre.

stems and may be cut two or three times during the season without danger of harming its

HANSEN’S THORNLESS 
A Rose Without Thorns! 
Prof. N. E. Hansen is working with thousands of rose seed- 
tings and is attracting nation wide attention for his efforts 
toward producing lovely, hardy roses without thorns. 
His Thornless Rose we offer here is really thornless! Not only 
on the main stems, but on the branches as well. The plant is 
of sturdy upright growth with attractive foliage, which makes 
it desirable as a shrub, and it is perfectly hardy as it will stand 
fifty degrees below zero without protection. 
The flowers are of a delicate pink color and very fragrant. 
The bright red seed pods clinging to the red twigs, against the 
white snow in winter is very ornamental.
