They must not be induced to grow too rapidly by excessive waterings, but rather be encouraged to make a hard, firm growth by spreading them out and giving each plant plenty of room. No topping should be done after the first of July, or they will fail to bloom the following spring, and this same rule applies to the young plants in the field struck during the winter months. G.
