LATE SORTS 
The late varieties are those which are in perfection November 20 and later depend¬ 
ing upon date of propagation and planting. 
Some of the late varieties mentioned will perfect flowers by November 10 if early 
buds are secured and the season is favorable. On the other hand, they may be re¬ 
tarded by planting late and securing late buds. 
It is impossible to give exact flowering date since cultural methods influence date 
of maturity. Plants grown upon raised benches always flower earlier than when the 
flowers are grown in solid beds or in the ground. Some varieties will flower Christ¬ 
mas and later when grown in solid beds, whereas on raised benches they would 
flower November 20 and later.
