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.

HANSEN SIBERIAN SWEET CLOVER

Often Called Arctic Sweet Clover in Canada

This remarkable Sweet Clover was introduced from the dry Semipalatinsk region of Siberia by Prof. N. E. Hansen. It is very tall growing clover and will make an astounding growth in one year, often reaching a height of 6 to 8 feet in one season. Has very succulent stems and may be cut two or three times during the season without danger of harming its growth the next season if the last cutting is not done too late.

Altho a more rank grower than our common sweet clover it has a somewhat finer stem and eal-antrreally- makes-better hays It-is-much hardier than<the conimon sweet clover-and will ithstand our coldest winters and driest summers, as it comes from one of the driest and oldest parts of Siberia. :

Get a good start now in this as there is a growing demand for the seed at a good profit.

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.

Hansen Bush Cherries are the result of over 30 years of untiring selection work by the great plant wizard, Prof. N. E. Hansen of South Dakota State College at Brookings

A new development in frait culture that is gradually changing the method of plum and cherry fruit production thruout the northwest, becnuse of the immense amount of choice quality fruit they produce on smal] trees on such a small area of ground.

THE NEW HANSEN APRICOTS

We offer for a jimited time, Hansen’s new sensational northwest hardy apricots. Just recently introduced by Prof. N, E. Hansen, of South Dakota State College, who has been working for many years to produce hardy apricots that would be good eating and large size and still would withstand the rigors of Dakota’s cold and drouth.

Two very important points of interest stand out in regard to these new apricots. One jis that they are perhaps one of the most drouth resistant of all trees, coming through the terrible drouths of 1933, 1934 and 1935 with flying colors—full foliage and no apparent effect whatever from the dry hot weather, and with a great crop of fruit. The second point is that they are hardy almost any- where in America, standing and bearing well in climates getting as low as 50 to 60 below zero.

Manchu, Mandarin, Chow, Sing, Ninguta, Tola, Anda, Zun, Sino, Lalin, Hulan and Sansin. For descriptions see our last spring's catalog. Price: $ .75 Each; 3, $2.00; 6, $3.50; 12, $ 6.50
