Annual Statice In Nebraska, Ellen T. Paparozzi
Annual Statice In Nebraska, Ellen T. Paparozzi
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Annual statice can be successfully grown, harvested, and preserved under Nebraska's climatic conditions. Start plants from seed nine weeks before they are field or garden planted. The earlier in the season that planting occurs, the greater the yield. Apply fertilizer before and after planting. Herbicides are recommended to eliminate hand weeding and allow maximum yield. Flowers should be harvested when all florets are fully open and can be used fresh, or dry stored at 2C (36F). Statice can also be preserved by drying or soaking fresh cut stems in 1:2 or 1:3 glycerine to water solution for 48 hours and …

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.

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.
