As plants bloom pick off the blossoms. Do not allow the 
flowers to go to seed on the plants. If you wish beautiful and pro- 
fuse bloom, keep the flowers picked as they open up. Then, too, 
the plants must have space, for if they are crowded closely in a 
row, growth is retarded. The following table shows the distances 
to leave between different kinds of flowering plants.
