from Irrigated Western Valleys 


Asparagus 
Mary Washington 


P.W.’s MOUNTAIN GROWN SEEDS are the product of many 
years of discriminate selection and breeding carried on by special- 
ists in the seed growing industry. The rich soils of fertile western 
valleys, and irrigation when moisture is needed, together with the 
advantage of clear, vitalizing western sunshine are essential factors 
in the production of vigorous sturdy seeds. 


FOR A MORE PRODUCTIVE PEACE TIME GARDEN ASK 
YOUR SEED DEALER FOR PORTER WALTON’S 
MOUNTAIN GOWN SEEDS.

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. 


16939 PROGRESS 


Extremely large flower heads with 114 
to 2 inch florets of a superb light blue ac- 
cented with purple blue eyes. The color

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

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

A Garden with a Lily Pool 


38040 SACRED LOTUS 


Throughout America the Lotus grows luxuriantly and is 
perfectly hardy. This queen of aquatic flowers with its 
stately beauty thrives abundantly during our warm sum- 
mer months, sending up its great shield-shaped leaves 
sometimes to a heigth of 6 feet. The gigantic blossoms, 
almost a foot across, overtop the leaves. They require 
the same general treatment as water lilies. They like to 
be started in from 4 to 6 inches of water, but after they 
take hold will thrive in even 1 foot. $2.75 each. 


SHALLOW WATER PLANTS

n8508 Anemone (St. Brigid Strain) (6-12’’) 
eorsS 


These lovely poppy-like flowers are exceedingly brilliant 
when in flower and excellent for cutting. The flowers 
range from single to fullest double, in white, crimson, 
cobalt blue, lavender, heliotrope, rose, pink, or salmon. 
The season for planting outdoors is early spring. Spring 
plantings bloom in summer. Cultude same as Ranun- 
culus. Bulbs, 10 for 90c; 25 for $2.00; 100 for $7.50. 


BEGONIAS, Tuberous Rooted (4-6) fls 


(See front cover for color illustration) 

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.) 

After frost danger is over, plant outdoors, spacing plants 
about 12 inches apart each way.

downward. They thrive in a drained sand loam. A

needed. Before planting, the bed should be thor- 
oughly watered. Cover the bulbs 2” and set 4-6” apart.

WINTER PROTECTION FOR EVERGREENS 


Because Evergreens hold their leaves all winter 
they are never entirely dormant. 


The best protection against winter damage, 
therefore, is a thoroughly moisture filled condition 


within the plant itself. Be sure that the soil around 


your Evergreens is moistened to a depth of about 
two feet during the last four weeks before the 
ground freezes. After that time apply a coarse

Pyramidal Junipers 


NOTE: Yearly trimming of Junipers and Arb-

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.

Spring Wheat 


c2550 Dicklow—Is a late maturing spring wheat. The 
kernels are soft and somewhat flattened. It has out- 
yielded all other varieties except Federation on the 
irrigated lands of Southern Idaho and Northern Utah. 
This grain is in demand by millers for making biscuit 
and pastry flour. Prices see below. 


c2552 Federation—lIs a short, fairly early spring wheat. 
The kernels are white, rather short, and usually soft. 
It has replaced almost all other spring varieties. 

2554 Lemhi—A variety which is rapidly replacing Dick- 
low. Its superiority is due to the fact that it has the 
milling quality of Dicklow combined with the stiff 
straw and high yielding ability of Federation. Lemhi 
will not lodge nor shatter as easily as other Spring 
Wheats. See below for prices.

A Field of Swedish Select Oats 


Porter-Walton Co.—Seed and Nursery Specialists—Salt Lake City, Utah re! 


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.

A snapshot taken at our trial grounds at Centerville, shows 
Rodney Porter, foreman of our wholesale department, standing 
in Brome Grass with two rows of Crested Wheat in foreground. 


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.

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.

Rape 


e2900 Dwarf Essex—Pasture for hogs, sheep, and poul- 
try. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. There is a need for an extra 
thick growing green forage crop for use any time 


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, 


during the fall, winter, and spring, and our Dwarf PRICES

CULTURAL INFORMATION and use of FLOWERS - VINES - SHRUBS - TREES... 
This is the key to the small and capital letters immediately following the family or variety names. 
These quick reference tables contain the additional information which you may need for in- 
telligent selection and placement of the splendid array of planting materials offered in this 


catalog. 


Classification and Hardiness 


(Based on climatic conditions in the Salt Lake Valley 
and similar areas.) 

a—Plants that produce their flowers from seed the first 
year but do not survive the winter. 

b—Plants that rarely produce flowers from seed until the 
second year and then die. 

c—Plants that rarely flower from seed until the second 
year, but flower in season thereafter. 

d—Bulbous herbaceous or tuberous rooted plants that are 
winter hardy without protection. 

e—Bulbous, herbaceous or tuberous rooted plants that 
need winter protection. 

f—Bulbous or tuberous rooted plants that must be lifted 
and given frost-proof storage during winter. 

g—Vines, shrubs or trees that are hardy everywhere. (In- 
cluding higher altitudes.) 

h—Vines, shrubs, or trees that are hardy in the Salt Lake 
Valley but need winter protection in higher altitudes 
and colder sections. 

i—Vines, shrubs or trees that need slight winter pro- 
tection or sheltered situation in Salt Lake Valley and 
not recommended for colder areas.

Seed Planting Information 

How Deep—tThe proper depth is very important. As a 
general rule, large seeds should be covered 4 to 5 times 
their diameter, medium and small seeds accordingly. Very 
fine seeds should be merely pressed into the soil, firming 
the soil well over them. Soil should always be well pul- 
verised to receive the seed and kept thoroughly moist after 
seed has been planted. 

G—Sow seed where plants are to grow in early spring or 
late fall just before the ground freezes. 

H—Sow seed where plants are to grow in middle or late 
spring; past frost danger when plants appear above 
ground. 

I—Sow seed for succession during spring and early 
summer. 

J—Sow seed in early spring, mid-summer, or fall in well- 
prepared bed and transplant seedlings where they 
are to grow. 

K—Sow inside in flats, pots, or boxes, in late winter or 
early spring, transplant to garden when frost danger 
is over. 

L—Sow in hotbed or cold frame in early spring. 

M—Seed needs chilling before proper germination can be 
secured. Sow, therefore, in late fall in beds or open 
ground,

only. 
Y—Annually immediately after flowering. 
Z—Shear in spring before new growth starts or in late 
summer just before the season growth stops.
