This important cut flower assumes even greater importance as labor and other costs rise. They are best grown in a tem- 
perature of 50-60 degrees. Sowing direct into the bench where they are to bloom makes for stronger, more vigorous plants. 
Rows are usually made 6 inches apart and the plants are thinned to stand approximately 3 inches. Selection of the stronger 
seedlings will have a tendency to increase the percentage of doubles. 
Proper feeding with greenhouse Vigoro or Hy-Gro 
(every two weeks until buds form) will be found beneficial and greatly improve the quality.

GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
This type is similar in habit to the Bismarck, except that 
they are much stronger growing with longer stems, larger 
flowers and spikes. Planted 6 x 8, they will produce a 
number of stems, however grown close, 3 x 6, they can be 
grown to a single stem like the columns. Many consider 
Santa Maria, grown in this manner, the most profitable of
