THE BLOOMING DATES. The 
blooming dates are also based on 
observations made at our Gardens in 
San Gabriel, where a uniform cul- 
tural pattern is followed for a num- 
ber of years. Young plants were set 
out between May 15 and June 30 or 
even later according to the order of 
each blooming period. The center 
growths were topped when they 
reached about 6 inches tall and in 
some cases topped several times. The 
terminal buds were taken for all 
early varieties while almost any 
bud retained after September 1. 
According to the data gathered by 
us recently, we found that our flow- 
ers appear to blossom between 5 to 
10 days before those of the Mid- 
Western and the Eastern growers. 
This can be attributed only to the 
relatively higher temperatures that 
we encounter locally during the 
months of September and October.
