USE VERBENAS TO
EDGE FLOWERBEDS
Use verbenas as edging when
planting your flower beds this
year. Their fragrant flowers in
white, pink, rose, red, maroon
and purple bloom from mid
summer until frost.
Verbenas are low, spreading
plants with soft foliage and
flowers in flat heads. According
to a Pennsylvania State Univer
sity correspondence course on
annual flowers, they grow from
8 to 18 inches tall and spread 2
feet when planted in fertile soil
fully exposed to sun.
Superior varieties include

come on the market, or for mi
nor disruptions in delivery, such
as snowstorm or breakdown of
equipment, and so forth.
2. A new base will be made
each July-December; if a farm
er’s production goes up, so will
his base; if his production goes
down, so will his base.
3. A "base blend price is paid
for base milk during March
through June of the following
year, with the Class II price
paid for production in excess of
base. The base blend price will
be above the market average
blend price, so as to provide a
price advantage to those produc
ers whose production is in line
with their base.
4. Bases can be transferred in
their entirety (no partial base
transfer).
The base program does not
prevent herd expansion. It does,
however, economically guide ex
pansion to the last six months
of the year, July through De
cember.
Producers in other markets
where this plan has been used
have been able to move toward
the market needs of level sea
sonal production.
