Perennial Wheat Grass 
NEWEST GRAIN-GRASS 
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 leaves 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 
in small quantities this year. 
Only a very limited supply of seed avail- 
able this year, so order early.

SPECIAL NOTICE! 
There is undoubtedly a great future for 
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.

CHEE GRASS 
A NEW FORAGE GRASS 
Introduced by Prof. N. E. Hansen of South Da- 
kota State College, from one of the driest spots 
of Siberia. Since then it has been planted in many 
parts of the country and we have received some 
mighty fine reports on its behavior as it will thrive 
and produce a forage crop on land that before 
had been useless. 

THAT DEFIES DROUTH 
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 an- 
nual rainfall on an almost pure alkali soil. Some- 
thing in its nature makes it like what we might 
consider a poor type of soil, though this does not 
in any way affect its feed value or growth on 
good soil. On ordinary soil it grows with equal 
vigor though not quite as tall but more bushy. It 
makes excellent hay if cut two or three times, 
though it gets rather tough if left uncut all season. 
i ae stage of its growth is it harmful as a stock 
eed. 
It may be pastured, but will produce forage if 
grown and cut for hay. It is perennial, spreads 
rapidly by means of stolons or runners, and will 
last for years after once being started. It is es- 
tablished 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 is very light 
and does not germinate well. We recommend set- 
ting 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 following season, soon making 
a solid field.
