We know of no seed-grown cut flower crop as profitable, year in and year out, as well-grown Snaps. 
So wide is the selection of varieties available today, that there’s scarcely a greenhouse grower through- 
out our broad Jand who can’t find several that are ideally suited to his particular conditions. 
If a sowing is made in December or January and the seedlings spaced 4x5 or 4x6 inches for grow- 
ing single stem (without pinching), excellent flowers can be cut in May. Particularly is this true of 
the Hybrids, which, because of their faster growth rate, have the inherent ability to produce good stems 
and spikes under conditions that might not suit many inbred varieties. Seedlings may be transplanted 
direct to their flowering bench—if the space is ready, or may go into plant bands for 4 to 6 weeks 
before benching. Of prime importance is that the young plant not be allowed to become hardened and 
root-bound. 
Color preferences vary, though half the seed demand is for pink and rose with white, yellow, bronze, 
red and lavender following in the order named.
