Plant specimen: Aceraceae Neck. Acer Ginnala Max. Plant specimen from the maple family

Aceraceae Neck. Acer Ginnala Max. Plant specimen from the maple family collected by N.E. Hansen, 1924. N.E. Hansen (1866-1950) was a Danish-American horticulturist and botanist who was a pioneer in plant breeding.

  1. A native grass from the Poltava province in southern Russia. If sown in the fall the seeds may scatter so that it becomes a very bad weed. But if sown in the spring it gives a fine grass for cutting by June and July, It seeds in August and hence should be cut early.

  1. The Siberian alfalfa as found wild at Omsk in western Siberia. In my Siberian investigation I learned that as found wild upon the Siberian steppes, this is a valuable forage plant in regions where the mercury freeze, sometimes without snow; that it is green very early in the spring; that it endures severe drought, that it does well upon soils underlaid with hardpan; that it is considerably resistant to alkali; that it flourishes where the common alfalfa from Europe winterkills; that the Siberian form of this species is so much superior to the European form in hardiness and other desirable characteristics that to go by the botanical name only, is very misleading. The present sample is from hay cut from wild plants before my arrival.

  1. Siberian alfalfa from Omsk, Siberia. This sample I picked from wild plants in the dry steppes near Omsk late in the fall when there was a little snow on the ground. I found the plants held their own perfectly with other native plants in the compact prairie or steppe sod. Omsk is in latitude 55 degrees.

  1. The native alfalfa is taken from the twenty-year-old fields near Ultuna near Upsala, Sweden about 60 degrees north latitude. Possibly there is some Medicago falcata mixed with it as both are found in the vicinity. A promising forage plant for cold, rather moist, climates. The Siberian form of Medicago falcata is much more promising for cold, dry climates.

  1. The name Turkestanica is not a botanical distinction, but one given by Russian agronomists to distinguish the alfalfa found in Russian Turkestan in central Asia. The present sample is originally from Tashkent, the capitol of Russian Turkestan, grown at Moscow, and originally the seed from one plant. At Moscow agricultural college Prof. Williams has found this strain very hardy, very productive, and beautiful plant; while the French Lucerne, by which is meant the ordinary south European or north Agrican form of the species, winterkills at Moscow, Russia.

  1. The Norwegian red clover, No. 439 of A. Michelet, Christiana, Norway. The agronomists of Norway claim that the native red clover is hardier than that introduced from America, and the plant is much smoother. I found the same claim as to greater freedom from hairiness of plant, causing the hay to be freer from dust, made for the native red clovers of Finland and Russia.
