Penstemon In Your Garden, R. D. Uhlinger, G. Viehmeyer
Penstemon In Your Garden, R. D. Uhlinger, G. Viehmeyer
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
A new race of hardy perennials is beginning to appear in American gardens. These are the penstemons, a genus of plants closely related to the familiar snapdragon, which may become important ornamentals as they be come better known to gardeners. The purpose of this bulletin is to show the possibility of the genus as an ornamental and to suggest species and species hybrids of possible value to Great Plains gardeners; to provide information about propagation and culture; and to encourage gardeners to engage in penstemon breeding as an avocation.

Field Bean Production Under Irrigation In Nebraska, F. V. Pumphrey
Field Bean Production Under Irrigation In Nebraska, F. V. Pumphrey
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The purpose of this bulletin is to bring together the latest information available on the production of dry edible beans under irrigation in Nebraska. Cultural practices and disease control are stressed, but included are items on marketing, cleaning, and the use of by-products - straw and cull beans.
Introduced Forage Grasses For Nebraska, F. D. Keim, L. C. Newell
Introduced Forage Grasses For Nebraska, F. D. Keim, L. C. Newell
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
This circular presents illustrations, descriptions and recommended usage of fourteen introduced cultivated grasses that are worthy of practical consideration in Nebraska. Most of them can easily be identified by comparing plant specimens with the illustrations and descriptions. This circular has been prepared for use by farmers, county agricultural agents, teachers and others who are interested in our most important grasses. Station Circular 59 contains information and illustrations of the more common native perennial grasses of Nebraska.
Answers To Questions About Partridge Pea, T. H. Goodding, J. C. Russel
Answers To Questions About Partridge Pea, T. H. Goodding, J. C. Russel
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station has been working with partridge pea since 1944. Seed has been distributed for tests, and several farmers are now growing it. It is primarily a plant for soil conservation and soil improvement. Its value in comparison with other legumes have not been fully established.
Fertilization And Improvement Of Native Subirrigated Meadows In Nebraska, P. Ehlers, G. Viehmeyer, R. Ramig, E. M. Brouse
Fertilization And Improvement Of Native Subirrigated Meadows In Nebraska, P. Ehlers, G. Viehmeyer, R. Ramig, E. M. Brouse
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
It is the purpose of this circular to summarize the 1948-51 results of fertilizer applications upon subirrigated native meadows. It is upon these lands that the cattleman depends to a large extent for winter feed.
Hairy Vetch For Nebraska, T. H. Goodding
Hairy Vetch For Nebraska, T. H. Goodding
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Hairy vetch is a winter annual legume. It may be planted either in the spring or fall. Hairy vetch often succeeds on soils where sweet clover and alfalfa fail. It is more tolerant to acid (lime-deficient) soils than most leguminous crops.
Safflower Production In The Western Part Of The Northern Great Plains, C. E. Classen
Safflower Production In The Western Part Of The Northern Great Plains, C. E. Classen
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Recent development of new varieties with seeds averaging more than 30 per cent oil give safflower a good chance of becoming an important oil seed crop in the United States. It is the purpose of this circular to acquaint farmers with the crop and to outline the most promising production practices for those who undertake its production in the western part of the northern Great Plains.

Seed And Soil Treatments For Vegetable Crops Grown In Nebraska, M. W. Felton, J. E. Livingston
Seed And Soil Treatments For Vegetable Crops Grown In Nebraska, M. W. Felton, J. E. Livingston
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Tests conducted during the past four years at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station have shown that when seeds are planted in cold, wet soils, better stands of vigorous seedlings are generally obtained when the seeds are treated before they are planted.
Strawberries In Nebraska, C. C. Wiggans
Strawberries In Nebraska, C. C. Wiggans
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The strawberry is more widely grown than any other fruit in Nebraska and is the most valuable of the small fruits. Its total value is greater than that of any of the other fruit crops grown with the exception of apples, cherries, and grapes. It thrives well in all sections where moisture is not too limited and is found almost always in home gardens. It is also produced commercially to some extent, especially near the larger cities in the eastern end of the state.
Spraying Tree Fruits, C. C. Wiggans, E. H. Hoppert
Spraying Tree Fruits, C. C. Wiggans, E. H. Hoppert
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The production of sound, clean fruit is unquestionably one of the major problems facing the modern fruit grower. Culture may be neglected and pruning delayed for a time but the omission of sprays for even a single season demonstrates their absolute necessity. This applies equally to the commercial grower and to the farmer or gardener who has only a few trees.
The University Fruit Farm At Union, Nebraska, C. C. Wiggans
The University Fruit Farm At Union, Nebraska, C. C. Wiggans
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The University Fruit Farm may be considered as a substation or detached portion of the Nebraska Experiment Station. It was established to assist in answering questions pertaining to fruit production, and only experiments of this sort are carried on. Supervision of this property rests with the Department of Horticulture of the Nebraska College of Agriculture. This circular has been prepared with the view of furnishing visitors to the farm with a brief outline of the experimental projects. Further information is available from either the local foreman or from the Department. Visitors are always welcome and helpful suggestions are solicited.

Strawberries In Nebraska, C. C. Wiggans
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The strawberry is probably the most important small fruit grown in Nebraska. It thrives well in all sections of the State where the moisture supply is not too limited, being found almost universally in home plantings. It is also produced commercially in certain favored localities but this acreage is limited.
