Poinsettias for holiday trade: Henrietta ecke variety produces high quality blooms on schedule when grown under high light intensity
by Anton M. Kofranek
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The Henrietta Ecke double-type poin-settia–the most popular poinsettia pot plant variety in southern California– has the undesirable characteristic of losing the center bracts just about the time the plants are to be sold for the holiday trade. However, experiments have shown that the bract abscission can be prevented at this critical time if the grower takes proper precautions.

Absorption of artificial dew: Ponderosa pine seedlings demonstrate ability to reverse usual procedure of plant transpiration
by Edward C. Stone, Ami Y. Shachori
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The life expectancy of ponderosa pine seedlings–growing in dry soil–can be materially increased by artificial dew, according to the results of recent studies.

Supplemental feed for ewe lamb: Range-grown replacements given supplemental feed less costly than those on unsupplemented forage
by D. T. Torell, William C. Weir
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Ewe lambs grown out–grown to maturity–with supplemental feeding in a recent trial at the Hopland Field Station in Mendocino County cost $9.11 per animal as compared with $9.20 per head for animals run on the range without supplemental feeding.
