CULTURE— (Continued) 
When plant is 5 or 6 inches high pinch top. From new growth reserve uppermost shoot for use 
as main leader. Stop remaining shoots at second or third joint. Later divide equally 
and train to either side of main leader. It is often desirable to use but one shoot on 
each side of the main leader and remove the rest. 
When main leader is 12 inches high train to a firmly imbedded No. 10 galvanized wire 4 feet in length 
previously bent, at a point 5 inches above surface level of pot, to angle of 45 degrees. 
Outer tip cf wire must face to north. Tie end of main leader to supporting wire at weekly 
intervals. 
All laterals and sublaterals should be pinched systematically at every second or third joint through- 
out the growing season to insure spread of growth and symmetry of form. As plant in- 
creases in width additional support is necessary for the purpose of stablization. 
To overcome the natural tendency of plant to develop blooms from extreme tip first with a percep- 
tible movement toward base, discontinue routine pinching about Sept. 1st. On Sept. 5th 
complete final pinching of broadest one-third or basal division, on Sept. 10th the midsec- 
tional one-third and on Sept. 15th th> final one-third. 
Graduaily lower main leader so that it will be in a horizontal position about Sept. 15th. When buds 
begin to form, with surface of plant facing south, start gradual downward bending of 
main leader and its support. When buds show color place on solid base at required height 
and bend to final vertical position.
