ABOUT BLOOMING DATES. Based upon their performances 
in our greenhouses here in West Chicago, we have classified the 
Snap varieties listed here as early (E) for late fall and early 
winter, midseason (M) for midwinter and early spring, late (L) 
for late spring, and the summer group (S) which indicates those 
varieties especially adapted for summer greenhouse blooming

The dot (@) indicates varieties most dependably 
‘inbred’ which are self-pollinated kinds. 
dates from an Aug. 20 sowing grown single stem on raised benches 
in a 50° night temperature. Blooming dates for late varieties 
are from a Sept. 9 sowing grown as a pinched crop on raised 
benches at 50° nights. Remember, though, that conditions vary 
in different localities and that keeping your own records will 
prove an invaluable guide in planning future crops. 
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 June in 
our locality.
