BRIEFS ON SNAP CULTURE 
DIRECT BENCHING 
. of seedlings is the way in our experience. Definitely super- 
ior growth, much less labor. It will work, even in hot weather if 
care is used. 
PINCHING 
Wait till breaks show in leaf axils—plant usually 6-8 inches 
high—then pinch to leave 3 pairs of leaves. 
SOWING DATES 
The dates given here are intended as suggestions only—based 
on our experience here in the Midwest. Many things can throw 
them off. Examples: 
1. Hot, dry, bright fall—will bring Christmas crops in early. 
2. Dark, cloudy fall-winter delays late winter crops. 
3. The tables are based on raised benches, 50° night tempera- 
tures most of the winter, at least. 45° nights or ground beds 
will take longer. 
4. Your local climate. Where winters are warm and sunny, 
winter Snaps will bloom faster. 
5. Varieties differ in blooming dates. 
Pinched Crops—7x8 inches 
50° most of the winter, raised benches, medium early varieties.

sunny days 65°. 
SUMMER-FALL SNAPS 
. were a dollar-maker again last year. Direct planted, single 
stemmed, they flower in less than 3 months from benching, are 
in good demand. Make several sowings so they will keep coming 
in. 
SINGLE STEM 
No-pinch growing seems to be accepted more each year. Reasons: 
A. A quicker crop—gets in up to 2-3 weeks sooner. Bench 
cuts out faster, more evenly. 
B. Fewer culls—more uniformity. 
C. Controlled flowering date—by making a succession of proper- 
ly scheduled sowings, you can be in cut when you want 
them—or steadily from January to June, as we do.
