WAGNER FLAT PEA 
(Lathyrus silvestris wagneri) 
This plant is a heavy producer of forage for livestock. 
A deep rooting perennial which starts slowly and re- 
quires two or three years to become fully established. 
Once established, it is reported to succeed on poor soil, 
stand much dry weather and to last for a lifetime. The 
bees work it much and reports indicate that it is a good 
honey plant. It was developed by a German plant 
breeder after many years of effort. 
Seed is very scarce. Per packet 20c, 3 ounces $1.00, 
per pound $4.00, postpaid. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
(Lotus Corniculatus) 
Birdsfoot trefoil is a drought resistant forage crop 
which is fast gaining favor in American agriculture. In- 
dications are that it is adapted to a wide variety of soils 
and will succeed under varied climatic conditions. It 
succeeds on some soils where alfalfa and the clovers do 
poorly. The acreage is expanding as farmers become 
familiar with it. It is especially valuable when mixed 
with grasses for a permanent pasture crop. It is a legume 
and long-lived. 
In England it is regarded as a valuable bee plant and 
beemen in eastern New York report good crops of well 
flavored honey from it. For field culture prepare as for 
clover or alfalfa and seed in either spring or fall; two to 
six pounds of seed per acre with other grasses. 
We offer a good grade of seed of Broadleaf variety 
which is produced in northern states. 
Seed, per packet 20c, per pound $3.00, postpaid. 
Write for quantity price. 
Inoculation for Birdsfoot Trefoil, bushel size can 50c 
postpaid. 
SUBTERRANEAN CLOVER 
This clover which was imported from Australia, is a 
dense growing, self seeding pasture and hay crop. It 
does best in sections with fairly mild winters, starts with 
the fall rains, grows through the winter, produces good 
forage all spring and then dries up and seeds in mid- 
summer. This legume has become an important crop for 
an area in Oregon where it is reported as a lifesaver for 
worn out soil. Reports indicate that it may gain much 
favor in some southern states. 
phe have no information regarding its value as a honey 
plant. 
We offer seed of Tallarook variety in trial quantity. 
Per packet 20c, % pound $1.00, pound $2.50, postpaid. 
SAINFOIN 
(Onobrychis) 
Sainfoin is the main source of honey in some European 
countries where it is grown extensively as a forage crop. 
It is drought resistant and will grow on soils where 
clovers do poorly... It is perennial and under right con- 
ditions very long lived. It holds promise as a forage 
crop for parts of the high plains area in western United 
States and north into Canada. It blooms in May and 
June and the bees work it continually. Honey from 
Sainfoin is fine quality. 
Seed supply uncertain. Write for prices. 
BURNET 
(Sanguisorbia minor) 
This hardy perennial native to Eurasia is sometimes 
grown in the flower garden as an ornamental, in the veg- 
etable garden as a salad plant and in the field as a forage 
crop. It is very drought resistant and easily grown. It 
is very attractive to the bees, blooming in midsummer 
for several weeks, but apparently is sought mostly for 
pollen. 
Seed, 20c per packet, postpaid.
