Figure 48.- Cuttings of Woods rose from different sources show a spiny type (left) from
central Utah, and a spineless form (right) from northern Utah.
Figure 49. -This blueberry elder experimental plot, planted in the fall, shows a few large
shrubs that grew from some seed sprouting in the first year; but the much
larger number of younger plants gives evidence of more seed sprouting and
establishment in the second year.
Figure 50.- Tatarian honeysuckle.
Figure 51. -Black chokecherry forms dense thickets by resprouting from its roots.
Figure 52.- Russian -olive normally develops into a small tree on moist meadow sites, but
on drier ranges, as here, it is a short - growing shrub.
Figure 53.- Bessey cherry has demonstrated adaptation to the mountain brush and upper
juniper - pinyon types in Utah.
Figure 54. -Skunk bush sumac grows rather large and provides excellent ground cover,
plus berries for birds.
Figure 55.- Oldman wormwood is quickly established and maintains itself well on raw,
exposed sites.
Figure 56. -Rocky Mountain smooth sumac is an aggressive natural spreader.
Figure 57.- Crown- spreading alfalfa, even when closely grazed, persists exceptionally well
when seeded with adapted grasses and shrubs.
Figure 58.-Utah sweetvetch, a native legume, is adapted to varied soil types.
Figure 59. -Small burnet is a palatable, well adapted forb suitable to the juniper - pinyon
and mountain brush types in Utah.
Figure 60.- Arrowleaf balsamroot is a highly productive forb on foothill ranges. Game
animals eagerly seek the blooms.
Figure 61.- Chickpea milkvetch spreads well underground and is well adapted to many
big -game winter ranges.
Figure 62.- Sicklepod milkvetch, a large forb, produces large clusters of sickle - shaped pods.
Figure 63.- Pacific aster can become established on a variety of sites, which may include
rather stony soils.
Figure 64.- Native lupines are well adapted for game range improvement.
Figure 65.- Palmer penstemon is a robust plant with large, pink, fragrant blooms.
Figure 66.- Littlecup penstemon is useful in stabilizing raw, eroding sites.
Figure 67.- Yellow sweetctover grows especially well where soil has been disturbed.
Figure 68.- Nuttall lomatium grows well on rocky soils of open slopes.
Figure 69.- Bouncing -bet, a long -grown exotic, is preferred by deer and is especially
useful for stabilizing eroding sites.
Figure 70.- German iris is' highly useful for stabilizing raw slopes as well as for creating
early spring forage for game.
Figure 71. -Lewis flax, a forb native to Utah game ranges, blooms profusely and spreads
well naturally.

Figure 73.- Intermediate wheatgrass is a well - adapted sod grass for winter game ranges.
Pglure 74. -Old planting of pubescent wheatgrass in central Utah.
Figure 75.- Smooth brome has two distinct types: A, northern, and B, southern.
figure 76.- Russian wildrye is a productive bunchgrass that produces a large volume of
succulent basal leaves that remain palatable until late in the growing season.
Figure 77.- Orchardgrass is a highly preferred bunchgrass in the early spring; it grows
on varied sites from low to high elevations.
Figure 78.- Bluebunch wheatgrass: A, Bunch type, and B, sod - forming type, on adjacent
areas 21 years after planting on former juniper - pinyon type. Sod types are
more effective than bunch types for controlling erosion because of the better
ground cover provided.
Figure 79. -Great Basin wildrye is a tall, robust, native bunchgrass that is especially useful
for cover.

of seed, germination, and persistence.
