FORCING SNAPS—Cultural Instructions 
SINGLE STEMMED SNAPS 
This method has been recommended for the past 5 years and is in- 
creasing greatly due to the time saved in producing a crop. It pro- 
duces more uniformity, longer spikes and better quality. This method 
takes a few more seeds and plants but the results are a much higher 
quality crop and of course usually better market returns. From sowing 
to direct benchings as follows:

Temperature Recommendations 
Temperature of course is the basis of crop control. Accuracy in crop 
timing is of course directly connected with accuracy of temperature 
control. The flowering period from Nov. 15 through Mar. 1 gives the 
most accurate results. 
Sunny days—55 to 60 degrees Nights—52 degrees 
Cloudy days—48 to 50 degrees Nights—48 to 50 degrees 
Glass should be shaded from May to Sept. to reduce temperature. 
PINCHED CROP 
Good many growers still prefer to grow “Snaps” as a pinched crop 
and for growing under this method we recommend using the early 
varieties and particularly the hybrids for maximum production during 
the winter months with short days and limited light. The medium 
varieties are good for winter but do better when planted after Mums 
and the late varieties are recommended for after the Mums and for 
spring flowering. See pages 6 and 7 for varieties and flowering period. 
Although sowing dates will vary with localities, for Christmas and 
January crop, sowings are usually made between June 15 and July 15. 
Transplant to bands or flats and bench in August allowing 8x8 inch 
spacing. Pinch usually September 5 to 10 on earlier sowings and 15 
to 20 on later sowings.
