ON OUR 
35TH 
ANNIVERSARY 
We settled here on our 160-acre home- 
SAM TL ROBER stead on the northern foothills of the 
Roiuderiand President Black Hills in 1915. Two years later we 
harvested our first seed crops, Alfalfa 
and Wheatgrass, which we sold in the spring of 1918. This was the 
start of our seed business. 
While we helped introduce many FIRSTS in better yielding, dis- 
ease resisting grain, earlier maturing corn, and Drought-Resisting, 
Winter-Hardy, better yielding perennial Alfalfas and Grasses, which 
helped pay better for the season’s work on many a farm and ranch— 
we are particularly happy to have had a part in helping introduce 
Brome-Alfalfa Permanent Pasture 35 years ago, ahead of the parade. 
Brome-Alfalfa pasture is now accepted in most livestock producing 
states and has moved up into First-Class Rank as Pasture and Hay. 
We now farm 8,000 acres on our 15,000-acre ranch, the balance 
of which is pastured with sheep and cattle. The Pierre clay virgin 
soils with tracer elements not found in older farm areas produce 
hardiest seed in America. The higher altitude with 40 below zero in 
winter and 115 degrees in summer helps produce the survival of 
the fittest. . 
We are continually trying out new introductions in Alfalfa, Grasses 
and Grains on our farms and introduce them as soon as they have 
proven more profitable. We assure you best value in seed free from 
any foul weeds. 
With sincere thanks to all our old customers for years of continued 
patronage and a genuine welcome to our new customers, we remain, 
Sincerely yours, 
SAM H. BOBER & SONS.
