The ease with which good quality Non-Branching 
Stocks are grown, if soil has been properly sterilized, 
must not be overlooked in these days of labor short- 
ages. Requiring no disbudding and with two sets of 
supporting wires usually being sufficient, a saving of 
time can be realized on this crop that should not be 
minimized. In the latitude of Chicago, seed may be 
sown until February 15 for early June flowering; later 
sowings usually result in more or less blindness. Note, 
however, that the season advances approximately one 
week for every 200 miles south—figure accordingly.
