Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Weekly Station Reports of the Division of Dry Land Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture: August 1933
After little rains for early pasture. This is two to four weeks earlier than it is usually planted, and the soil seems to be too hot for it. In many cases it apparently has not had vitality to come through even lightly crusted soil. The rose of sharon or shrub althea is proving one of the most satisfactory plants distributed for low windbreak purposes. This can, be raised cheaply from seed. Flowers on most seedlings are single and open much better during dry weather than the double flowers of selected plants. This plant was once a favorite for planting in the plains, but lost its popularity through the introduction of the poorly blooming double varieties. Maximum temperature, minimum, precipitation, inch.
