THE BLOOMING DATES 
The blooming dates are based 
on observations made at our 
Gardens in San Gabriel, where 
a uniform cultural pattern is 
followed for a number of years. 
Young plants were set out be- 
tween May 15 and June 30 or 
even later according to the or- 
der of each blooming period. 
The center growths were top- 
ped when they reached about 
6 inches tall and in some cases 
topped several times. The ter- 
minal buds were taken for all 
early varieties while almost any 
bud retained after September 1. 
According to data gathered by 
us recently, we found that our 
flowers appear to blossom be- 
tween 5 to 10 days before those 
of the Mid-Western and the 
Eastern growers. This can be 
attributed only to the relative- 
ly higher temperatures that we 
encounter locally during the 
months of September and Oc- 
tober.

us of the wonderful success they have had with, not 
only hardy varieties, but also large Exhibitions and 
Spidery types. Blooms of some of the Spidery varieties 
even stand the freezing weather with little protection. 
Our Southern States customers are always pleased with 
the prize-winning blooms they have been able to pro- 
duce there.

ideal time for pot planting.
