ABOUT FLOWERING DATES. In describing the many Snap 
varieties which we list, we have designated each as early (E), 
midseason (M) or late (L). This is an arbitrary classification 
based on our own West Chicago greenhouse trials over a period 
of years. 
From a sowing made August J, grown on a raised bench as a 
pinched crop and run 50° nights, those varieties which normally 
flower by December 15 we classify as early. Those which flower

between December 15 and January 10 we call midseason; while 
the remainder that flower after January 10 we consider late. Local- 
ity and amount of sunshine, of course, have a bearing on flowering 
dates, too. 
It should be borne in mind that while many of the early and 
midseason varieties are excellent for late flowering if sown later, 
late varieties cannot be flowered early unless sown in May or June 
in our locality.
