LATE SORTS 
The late varieties are those which are in perfection November 20 and 
later depending 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 retarded by planting late and securing late buds. 
It is impossible to give exact flowering date since cultural methods influ¬ 
ence date of maturity. The bench system promotes earliness and solid beds 
are conducive to lateness.
