TIME REQUIRED FOR SEEDLINGS TO FLOWER 
The rate of growth depends on the care given. However, under proper 
conditions, we estimate the following length of time until seedlings reach 
flowering size: 
124”—3V. to 4 years 3%2"—1Vy to 2Yp years 
21%/4"—3 to 4 years A" —l to’ 1% years 
2Y2"—2Y. to 32 years 5” —flowering size or will flower 
3” —2 to 3 years next growth.
