If a sowing is made in December or January, and the seedlings are spaced 4 by 5 inches for growing 
one flower to a plant, excellent results should be had. They will be earlier because all of the plant’s 
energy will be concentrated in that one growth. Also the time lost in pinching will be gained. Just 
how much time will be gained we do not know from experience. We should guess 3 to 4 weeks, and 
that would be substantial. Some eastern growers are using this plan, reporting a worth-while sav- 
ing. We are this season giving it a trial. The retail grower who uses second grade flowers to better 
advantage than does the market grower. may not be’so much interested. But the more uniform 
quality the wholesale grower gets, the better. 

We are inclined to believe that the stronger Hybrids, with their distinct tendency to be earlier, are 
particularly well adapted to this new growing method. However, we believe that a strong growing 
Hybrid, and most of them are just that, pinched and carrying two to three breaks, will average nearly 
as good a grade of flowers as will open pollinated kinds grown one to a plant. But most of the open 
pollinated strains of today are excellent and improving, as the result of much annual single plant 
selection work.
