Life Sime PHLOX Porennials

THE BEST PLANT FOR MIDSUMMER FLOWERS THEY GROW AND INCREASE YEAR AFTER YEAR No Garden is Complete Without a Phlox Garden

Perennial phlox is the backbone of the summer garden. No other perennial affords as many rich and varied colors and blooms as abundantly during the so called “‘off season.”’ There need be no more uncolorful seasons in your garden if you plant a few of these grand new phlox in prominent spots throughout the border. Deep, consistent moisture, fertile soil and a little shade in the afternoon are ideal for them.

16926 CHARLES CURTIS

“Sunset red” probably comes nearest to describing this the most brilliant phlox in cultivation. Its color is outstanding and the large flower heads unusually clear and sparkling because of the fact that the florets do not discolor in the sun or fade with age.

NEW ENGLISH CHRYSANTHEMUMS

The early English Chrysanthemums are a new race. They originated in England and were first imported to Western Canada, from there to the United States. They are equal in hardiness to the old garden Chrysanthemums and greatly exceed them in size and quality of bloom.

They do not have to be disbudded but if only 8 to 12 buds are left on a plant they will make espe- cially lovely flowers and bloom one to two weeks earlier.

16671 Indiana (30”) —A rich velvety crimson shaded darker in the center and with slightly reflexed petals. Good disbudded or in sprays.

16673 Mrs. Pattie—Terra cotta red with gold reverse. A large deep flower with incurved petals. The very earliest variety.

16656 Sandy Richie—A very lovely and prized variety.

The petals are deep crimson with shades of gold on the reverse. A strong plant that blooms in mid October. +6658 White Lady—Without question White Lady is one of the finest white Chrysanthemums for the garden. It has shades of primrose in the center that lend a dis- tinct richness to its character. The extra large flowers

are of excellent form.

Any of the above English Chrysanthemums—3 for $1.25; 10 for $3.75. Postage and packing 15c for

Few plants can equal these for garden show in brilliancy of color, duration, and perfection of bloom. The ideal situation is in a filtered sunlight where there is plenty of fresh air, protected from strong winds, as on the north side of buildings where they receive sunlight a portion of the day.

For best results, the tubers should be started indoors in January or February. Plant first in moist sand, and after they are well sprouted, put them in 4 in. pots in good, rich soil (about one-third Peat or leaf-mold, one- third well-rotted manure, and one-third good, sandy loam.)

Bulbs should be dug in fall and stored in damp sand throughout winter. Price—Mixed colors: 3 for 50c: 10 for $1.50; 100 for $12.50.

PEAT MOSS FOR PLANTING

Soils which do not contain moderate amounts of humus do not encourage rapid growth of new

roots which are necessary to maintain growth of

all transplanted plants.

Peat Moss is 100% humus. It loosens compact soils, and softens gravely or sandy soils. It retains moisture and allows fibrous roots to penetrate. Mix about 15° of Peat Moss with the soil that you put around the roots.

HYBRID FIELD CORN

Sow in drills 3 feet apart, using approximately 15 pounds of seed per acre.

FOR GREATER YIELDS ON FEWER ACRES WITH LESS HELP

Hybrids are superior because of their resistance to drouth, uniformity of growth, stiffness of stalks and increased yields, amounting to as much as 25%.

£2502 PORT-WALCO HYBRID Ne. 100 The New Leader

Without a peer in a Medium Maturing Hybrid for the particular Farmer. It matures grain in about 110 days and is the most outstanding of the many new Hybrids tested by us last year. We are so impressed with its per- formance that we safely predict it will out strip in every way, even the remarkable performance of the now well known Hybrid U. S. 52. It is a prodigious yielder of good solid corn under a wide range of soils and climatic conditions. The ears are long and thick with very little taper which makes for a large yield in grain. It is a strong and vigorous grower, pro- ducing tall succulent stocks. Then too, the ears are set at a good height so there is little or no stock break- age. You will be liberally rewarded for planting a good acreage of this splendid new variety.

Price (packed in bushel bags) $9.75 each.

£2504 US 52—Our Main Crop Hybrid

Matures in about 110 days. Plants are very tall and lodge resistant. Ears are large, smooth, somewhat tapering, with 16 to 18 rows of medium depth grain. Adapted over a wide area and an excellent yielder. On good soils, it is a general all-purpose hybrid. U.S. 52 has given the best results in the experiments by the U.S.A.C. at Logan, Utah, with a large number of hybrid corn varieties.

Idaho Grown (packed 100 lbs. per bag) —$14.00 per cwt.

£2506 Ohio M15—Our Early Hybrid

A special boon for higher elevations and shorter season areas. It’s a heavy yielder and the earliest of the Ohio Hybrids, maturing in 90 to 95 days, producing an abundance of medium sized, deep grained ears, and a wealth of fodder. We believe this is one of the best early producing hybrids on the market today.

Ohio Grown (packed in bushel bags) —$8.00 per bu.

£2508 P..W.’s Utah Hybrid

Medium early maturing (90 to 100 days)—Also a splen- did variety for higher elevations or short season areas.

STANDARD OPEN POLLINATED CORNS

£2510 Australian White Flint—Heaviest yielding of the Flints, and one of the earliest, maturing in about 75 days. Stalks of medium height bear large 12 row ears.

£2512 Minnesota No. 13—The leading all-around open pollinated variety. A 90-day Yellow Dent corn, accli- mated to this area. It is the heaviest producer of the medium early field corns. Plants grow 7 to 8 fe. tall, bearing ears 9 to 10 inches long. Kernels are mediium depth and 16 to 18 rows per ear. Yields average about 90 bushels per acre. Makes splendid ensilage.

£2514 Minnesota No. 13 Extra Early Strain—This early strain has the same characteristics as the regular Min- nesota No. 13 except the ears are slightly smaller, the stalks are about one foot shorter and it matures a week to ten days earlier. Since its introduction in 1921 it has become an important variety for sections where shorter seasons prevail.

£2516 Northwestern Red Dent—Being both frost and drought resistant, Northwestern Red Dent is one of the

It’s a four-way cross (the last being made here in the Rocky Mountains), and combines the better qualities of each of the parent stocks. It is primarily a grain producing type making it especially valuable to dairy- men and poultrymen. The well-filled ears each have from 16 to 20 rows of deep yellow medium depth ker- nels. Price, 13.00 per 100 lbs.

best kinds for the short seasons of the high foothills. It is a heavy cropper and matures in 75 to 90 days.

£2518 Pride of the North—Matures in 80 to 90 days. A tall-srowing Yellow Dent with luxuriant foliage, and vigorous grower. Ripens early, yielding 75 to 85 bushels per acre. Very fine ensilage as well as for dry corn.

£2520 Improved Leaming—100-110 days. It will grow more tonnage to the acre than any other open pol- linated variety we know. Leaming makes a very heavy foliage, making it especially good for silage purposes. The ears and kernels are a little larger than Minnesota 13. Produces good yields of grain.

Barley

2522 Trebi—An excellent feed variety, recommended for the lands of the Rocky Mountain area, heavy yielder. Where grown under irrigation, it qualifies as a malt barley.

c2521 Improved Club (certified) A hardy type released leased for planting in 1937. It is highly resistant to covered smut and has a smooth awn, which greatly in- creases its value as feed. Velon has the desired large, plump, white-colored kernels, the yield generally sur- passing other varieties. Prices see below.

2521 Improved Club (certified—A hardy type released by the Utah State Agricultural College. Large yields are produced in this area. Crops of 115 bushel per acre have been produced from Spring sowings under irrigations. Club threshes out easier than Velon. Heads bear six rows of kernels on a stiff straw. See below for prices.

Oats _ €2530 Swedish Select—The grain is plump, white, and

very heavy. The quality of the oats produced in the Rocky Mountains is unsurpassed. Prices see below.

Plant More Corn for Dairy Cows

We suggest planting extra acreage of green fod- der Corn for a food supplement during hot dry weather when pastures are not producing suffcient- ly. The larger remaining part of the crop matured and prepared as ensilage of course has the greater

amount of actual food value for winter feeding.

ALFALFA (LUCERNE)--Wonder Crop of the West

Crop of Alfalfa Hay

b2560 Hardy Desert—This splendiid variety is the se- lection from the far famed Utah Dry Land type, which is a “Northern or hardy strain.” It produces even

under adverse conditions but in favorable situations under irrigation it is a prodigious yielder. Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre.

b2570 Utah Pioneer—Placed under certification in 1938. It was selected from two parent fields in Millard County which are known to be at least 60 years old without reseeding or breaking up. Preliminary experimental tests point to its resistance to wilt over Grimm or Com- mon and other hardy varieties.

b2580 Grimm—This variety is especially recommended for shallow soils, those underlaid with hardpan, or where the water table is near the surface. The stems and leaves are of somewhat finer and leafier quality than common Alfalfa. It is susceptible to bacterial wilt and is not recommended for areas of severe infestation.

b2590 Ladak—Tests at nearly every Northern and West- ern Experiment Station show Ladak leading on ton- nage, long life, drought-resistance, and winter hardi- ness. It has also shown marked resistance to bacterial wilt. Ladak makes an exceptionally heavy first and second crop but little third.

d2575 Argentine—Imported seed from South America similar to the common Urah strain.

CLOVERS FOR MEADOWS AND PASTURES

c2600 Alsike—Is recommended both for sowing with Timothy and also with the Red and Mammoth Clovers, as weil as a hay crop by itself. It does not winter-kill. The use of Alsike Clover is increasing rapidly; cattle prefer it to other clovers. It is very fine for honey bees. Sow at the rate of six or eight pounds per acre; sown in mixtures, 5 or 6 pounds per acre is sufficient. Does best on damp soils—used in pasture mixture with grasses.

d2610 Hubam Clover (Richest honey producing clover) —This is an annual sweet clover which grows rapidly, attaining a height of 6-7 feet. It is very valuable for pasturage and hay when cut before it gets too old. As the flowers are rich in honey, it makes very good bee pasturage. It is also used to great advantage as a cover crop or for green manure. It should be planted in Fall or Spring. Sow 12-15 pounds per acre.

e2620 Ladino Clover is regarded as a large form of the common White Dutch Clover and like the latter is a long-lived perennial. Its growth, however, is larger and more luxuriant. When the leaf growth has been grazed off, new leaves develop quickly, complete recovery occurring in 17 to 28 days. It is strictly a crop for irri- gation. Sow in Fall or Spring at the rate of 7 to 8 lbs. per acre.

c2630 Medium Red (Trifolium Pratense)—Is a depend- able, all-around variety for farmers and stockmen. It makes two hay crops each year. Sow either in the Spring or Fall at the rate of 15 pounds to the acre. It is good in pastures either alone or with some grass as a companion crop. It is replacing alfalfa in heavy wilt-infested areas.

£2640 Strawberry Clover (Tall Variety)—It is similar to

grass pasture. It is much in demand as a pasture crop because of its palatability. Livestock relish it and pass up other clovers and grasses wherever Straberry Clover is available. Sow 4-6 pounds per acre.

£2650 White Dutch Clover—Is a long-lived perennial legume, spreading by creeping stems that root at the nodes. When grown in mixtures with grass. It increases the carrying capacity of the pasture and provides a nutrititous acid palatable feed. White Clover, like all other clovers, thrives best under cool moist growing conditions.

SWEET CIOVER

e2660 White Blossom (Melilotus Alba)—Its value in the redemption of alkali lands cannot be over-estimated. It grows in a variety of soils—heavy, light, wet or dry, almost anywhere, except in acid soil. Sow 10 to 14 Ibs. ‘per acre. It is often used for a green manure crop because of its quick prolific growth.

e2666 Yellow Blossom (Meliilotus Officinalis)—It is finer in the stalk and more palatable when mature than White Blossom Sweet, and has the same soil adaptation. Its refinement of stalk and palatability make it a good pasture and hay crop.

BETTER PASTURES FEED MORE CATTLE

PASTURE PALATABILITY

The most recent trend of study and experimentation with dairy pastures has made possible the classification of various grasses and legumes according to their pala- tability.

Close observations of 36 different pasture mixtures in one field, revealed which species were most readily grazed. A very important fact is that as soon as the most pala- table forage was entirely consumed milk production de- clined, even though quantities of highly productive but less palatable grasses and legumes were still available.

Our new pasture mixtures are designed to produce more palatable forage and thereby maintain milk production

-at a more constant level.

Highest yields of forage as well as of milk are produced on pastures where a rotation system of grazing is followed.

IS YOUR PASTURE EARNING $200 PER ACRE?

You can increase the production of the average pasture 100% by application of the following U.S. D.A. pasture management rules.

. Fall plow land and work down in spring in firm, moist condition.

. Use only clean seed of high germination.

. Sow the seed to a depth of 4 to % inches (drilling is preferred).

. It is safer not to use a nurse crop. If one is used, we recommend Barley at 40 to 50 pounds per acre.

. Keep young plants well irrigated.

. Do not graze the first year until mid-July or later.

. Avoid over-grazing by dividing pasture land into several practical sections and follow a rotation system of grazing.

. Pastures should be fertilized with 100 to 150 pounds of phosphate per acre every other year and 10 tons of manure per acre every third year.

. Pastures should be harrowed both ways in early spring and late fall when droppings are soaked to prevent bunching of unpalatable forage the next year.

. When bunches of unpalatable forage and weeds appear, pastures should be clipped with a mower.

EXTRA VALUES FROM PASTURES

Pasture forage is not only the cheap- est and best roughage for efficiency of milk production, but it also gives to milk certain additional qualities. Milk produced on pasture herbage is especially high in vitamins A, C and E. This milk also has a more favor- able balance between its basic and acid salts. The highest score butter is made during the pasture season and cheese made from milk produced on Pasture. is likewise superior.

The finer flavor and aroma produc- ing bacteria are stimulated in growth by the food elements supplied by green forage.

A well-managed pasture for dairy cows.

You can depend on pure clean seeds properly proportioned to Formula in all our Seed Mixtures 73

e2700 Mountain Brome

(Bromus Marginatus)

This stout perennial bunch grass is very common be- tween the altitudes of about 5, 000 and 10, 000 feet. It has a very wide range of soil adaptations, varying from fairly moist loamy soils, where the best growth is made, to fairly dry; gravelly soils. Mountain Brome Grass, when young, is grazed closely by all classes of livestock. Where it can be cut for hay, it makes a very fine feed for horses and cattle.

It is an exceptional grass for the reclamation of land inaccessible to farm machinery, as good stands may be ob- tained by broadcasting on areas where seedbed preparation is not possible. Sow either Spring or Fall at the rate of 10 to 20 pounds per acre.

e2710 Smooth Brome Grass

(Bromus Inermis)

Smooth Brome is one of the outstanding grasses for the Intermountain area, being well adapted to arid regions where rainfall is relatively low. It is the most palatable of all the important grasses, even surpassing the well-known Kentucky Blue Grass in this respect. Smooth Brome is a long-lived perennial with numerous creeping root stalks which form a dense heavy sod, making it capable of stand- ing much abuse as a pasture grass. Brome thrives especially well on a rich, loamy soil; but in the wild state it grows in dry, gravelly soils, or even in pure sand. Recent experi- ments have shown it to succeed in alkali soils.

The stems attain a height of from two to three feet. Two cuttings of hay are generally obtained in a season, yields ranging from one to four tons per acre. After the third or fourth year Brome often becomes sod bound. This condition may be overcome by discing or shallow plowing. Brome can be sown either in Spring or Fall, preferably on a well prepared, firm seedbed at the rate of 10 to 20 pounds per acre. Drilling is preferable to broadcasting,

wherever possible. About Prices

GRASS

For Range, Meadow and Pasture

e2730 Kentucky Blue Grass

One of the best pasture grasses. It begins growth early and remains green very late in the fall. It is extremely resistant to cold. Kentucky Blue Grass does best on well drained loams and clay soils rich in humus. Sow 30 pounds per acre.

e2740 Meadow Fescue

An excellent grass for pasturage when planted alone or in combination with other grasses and clovers. It is a tufted, deep rooted, long-lived perennial, growing to a height of 15 to 30 inches. The leaves are bright green and very succulent, supplying palatable forage from early spring until in the late fall. Yields average two tons per acre. Sow in the Spring or Fall at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds per acre.

e2750 Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata)

This very early pasture grass, furnishes feed at least three weeks before most other grasses. Even after close grazing, a ten-day interval is suficent for another growth. It makes a heavy sod and gives splendid pasture until late in the Fall. Withstands drought and is very hardy; It grows in tufts and can be sown,if desired, with Red Clover and Alfalfa. When planted alone, sow at the rate of 20- 25 pounds per acre.

e2760 Perennial Rye Grass

Perennial Rye is a most desirable grass for pastures, its chief value being as an ingredient for permanent pasture mixtures. It forms a close, heavy sod and recovers quickly after being grazed. The value of this grass on alkali soils cannot be over-emphasized. Perennial rye attains a height of 114 to 2 feet, the blades are narrow. It is a rapid grower, establishing itself very quickly. The hay should be cut in the full-bloom stage. When seeded alone, sow at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre in a well prepared, firm seedbed. :

d2770 Poa Bulbosa (Bulbous Bluegrass)

A perennial grass which is one of the earliest available for pasturage. It makes excellent pasture either alone or when sown with alfalfa. It is often used to thicken up thin alfalfa stands, and when cut before it is to old, makes an excellant hay. This grass is relished by all kinds of live- stock and has proven to be a very valuable feed for range cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock.

e2780 Crested Wheat Grass (Agropyron cristatum)

It is wonderful ranch and range grass which grows earlier in the Spring and later in the Fall because of its ability to grow at lower temperatures. As a hay crop, it is very highly nutritious and palatable, stands well under grazing. It has made a most remarkable showing under dry, arid conditions, succeeding where many other varieties fail. Crested Wheat is a long-lived grass. Fields 20 years old are still doing well. It is relished by livestock and’ adapts itself to a wide-range of soils. For hay and pasture, sow 10 pounds per acre.

e2800 Sand Drop Seed

Sand Dropseed, Sporabolus Cryptandrus,sis especially well adapted to the states west of the Mississippi River. As the name indicates it is usually at its best on sandy or semi-sandy soils.

The soil conservation service uses Sand Dropseed more extensively than any other grass because of its ability to cover waste places in even a few weeks’ time.

In mixture with the wheat grasses and bromes, Sand Drop will provide abundant forage while the slower grow- ers are establishing themselves. The forage is rather heavy and is fairly palatable to all classes of livestock. Plant at any time at the rate of 2 to 5 pounds per acre.

k2810 Slender Wheat Grass

This is a native North American bunch grass, which has proved very valuable under cultivation. It is a bunch form- ing variety, being better adapted to range land than mea- dows; however, recent tests are proving its value as a grass for alkali soils. It is recommended for pastures in canyons or flats, succeeding exceptionally well at high elevations. It grows in dry, arid sections, producing numerous slender, erect stems, two to four feet high, with narrow flat leaves. Sow either Fall or Spring at the rate of 5 to 15 pounds per acre.

42820 Western Wheat Grass (Agropyron Smithi)

This is a variety of great promise for the western arid regions. It is erect in growth and forms a firm solid turf even where moisture is very limited. It produces a uniform turf which makes it most suitable for fairways, roadside planting, and erosion control as well as an excellent range grass where rainfall is light. It supplies a long-felt need for a suitable sod-forming variety that will stand dry situations.

Snapshot taken at our Centerville Trial Grounds showing Meadow Fescue on the left and Reed Canary Grass on the right.

42830 Red Top

A valuable grass for moist soils. It makes a good perma- nent stand and is well adapted to pastures. It has been grown very successfully even on alkali and bottom land where many other grasses have failed. It is used also as a lawn grass as it makes a fine stem and good turf. Sow 15- 25 pounds per acre.

d2840 Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea)

This is a valuable high-yielding forage plant which is naturally adapted to grow on low, wet lands. As a perma- nent source of high quality hay and good pasturage. For hay, cut as soon as the head begins to appear. Two or three crops of hay and some fall pasture may be obtained by such practice. Everyone with moist and boggy soils should give this excellent grass a trial. Sow it at the rate of 5 to 6 pounds per acre broadcast, and in drill, 2-3 pounds per acre in 16 to 18 inch rows.

Sudan Grass See page 76

e2850 Tall Meadow Oat Grass

Is a long-lived, deep-rooted perennial bunch grass, fairly drought-resistant and produces an abundance of forage early in the Spring. (Short crop seed limited)

e2860 Timothy

Of hay grasses, Timothy leads all. Thrives on clay or heavy loams, wet or boggy soils, or in mountainous dis- tricts. At higher elevations where fewer grasses and clovers are adaptable, Timothy is the most important hay and pasture crop. Alone, sow 12 pounds to the acre, or with clover, 10 pounds Timothy and 6 pounds clover.

Field Peas

e2880 Canadian Field—-They enrich the soil and are splendid stock feed. For hay, they should be cut while the milk is in the vine forming the pod. Plant early in the spring at the rate of 100-120 lbs. per acre or 60 lbs. with a nurse crop of Oats or Spring Rye.

Millet

e2890 Early Fortune or Red Hog—This seed is of a shiny reddish brown. The heads are compact. It is ready to harvest in 50 to 60 days.

e2892 Golden or German—This is one of the best varie- ties for hay and fodder. It makes rapid, vigorous growth, often yielding 3 to 5 tons of hay per acre, on good rich soil. It grows 4 to 5 feet high, is of rather coarse appearance, and should be cut for hay before it is in full bloom. At this stage, the hay is of the best quality.

e2894 Yellow Hog—This is the most popular of the Proso type Millets, very valuable for late planting and as an emergency crop after others have failed. Hog Millet is mainly a grain crop; but has the advantage of the grain ripening while the stems are still green, which if cut at the proper time can be threshed for grain while the hay is of a good quality for feeding purposes.

Dry Land Grain Sorghums

e2920 60-Day Milo—Is a Sorghum similar to Kafr Corn. Grows erect with thick, close-jointed stalks 4 to 9 ft. tall. The large heads give a heavy yield of grain. It is drought-resistant and does well on alkali soils.

Sweet Sorghums

e2924 Atlas Sorgo—Is one of the highest yielding for- age crops grown. Produces as much as 25 tons of silage per acre, extremely drought-resistant, and is relished by livestock. It produces a long, leafy stalk, sweet and juicy, with a good grain head.

e2928 Black Amber Cane—80 to 100 days. Is the best known Sorgo and in many sections is the favorite be- cause it is the earliest.

Sunflower

£2930 Grey Stripe—A good silage crop for dry land. They may be sown early or late as they grow rapidly. The silage is very palatable and has high feeding value. Cultivate and handle similar to corn. Plant 5 to 6 Ibs. per acre.

e2934 Sudan Grass (Common)

Drill 15 to 20 lbs. or broadcast 25 Ibs. per acre for pasture. It will endure much alkali. Planted in rich soil in June, it will be ready to pasture in 30 days. It will furnish grazing for two cows per acre throughout the summer. As a hay crop, it should be cut when heads appear. It takes several days of ideal weather to cure. A sec- ond crop may be cut or pastured if preferred. All kinds of livestock relish Sudan Grass—it has a sweet taste.

e2935 New Sweet Sudan Grass

This new variety is a development resulting from several years breeding work by the Texas Agricultural Experi- ment Station in cooperation with the Bureau of Plant Industry,,U. S. Department of Agriculture. It is sweet, juicy and more palatable to livestock. This was demon- strated consistently during the years the breeding and selection were progressing. When planted side by side with Common Sudan, the cattle kept the Sweet Sudan grazed to the ground, while the Common Sudan was grazed down to the height of about one foot. In all cases the Sweet Sudan was eaten first. Sweet Sudan is later in maturity than common Sudan thereby pro- ducing more vegetative growth and remaining green and growing longer than the common. After the crop reaches maturity the stalks and stems are still eaten readily. Sweet Sudan has more and broader leaves; heavier and taller stalks and stools much heavier than Common Sudan.

Vetch

£2940 Common—Is grown as a hay and seed crop, as well as for green manure, silage, and pasturage. It should be used far more extensively for orchardists as a cover and green manure crop. Sow 60-80 lbs. per acre,
