WHAT CAUSES PREMATURE BUDDING OF CHRYSANTHEMUM 
CUTTINGS DURING THE SPRING MONTHS, AND 
WHAT TO DO TO PREVENT IT. 
Bud initiation can occur any time during the spring months, whenever your temperatures in the 
greenhouses are consistently 60 degrees-Fahrenheit or above, and the days are short enough to ini- 
tiate bud setting. ‘These conditions can occur any time up until May 1st depending upon the variety 
and the locality in which they are being grown. Some varieties such as the garden varieties and early 
shading varieties require very little short day treatment, coupled with high temperatures to initiate 
buds. ‘his same tendency to set bud readily is what makes these varieties desirable for early shading 
and garden work. 
In order to prevent this premature setting of buds, these same varieties should be placed where 
they can be given additional light during the early spring months. Use 60 watt bulbs spaced 4 feet 
apart and 30 inches above the plants. Use the lights for a period of two hours each night after dark 
up until May Ist, then discontinue lighting.
