MAYTIME. Accurate and detailed production figures have been kept on this 
variety for the past four years. During that time it averaged more than 40 
blooms per square foot of bench each year. Previous to last year, the average 
number of split blooms was 5%. Last year the number of split blooms increased 
to 17%. Last year MAYTIME cut 42.1 blooms per square foot of bench from 
August 1st when it was planted to July 5th when it was thrown out. Thus if we 
had thrown away everyone of the 7.2 blooms per square foot that split, we would 
still have had 3 5 good flowers per square foot; and 87% of these were top qual¬ 
ity flowers. We grow only two varieties that have ever surpassed MAYTIME in 
production, and we have no variety that has yet proven to be more profitable. 
The flower is a lovely shell pink, is beautifully formed, is symmetrical and meas¬ 
ures from 3 to 3 1/2 inches across. The stem is very long an d stiff. The 
plants are upright, having no surplus foliage, and allowing of close planting. The 
plants grow very rapidly. The flowers are excellent keepers. They will main¬ 
tain their size, color and keeping quality during hot Spring weather better than 
any o ther variety in this color class.
