Flowers for your garden in the
future-because most of them are
not yet in the trade-will be fea-
tured in the National Flower
and Garden Show exhibit from
the Plant Industry Station at
Beltsville, Md.
The display will be arranged by
DR.. S. L. Emsweller and his as
sociates in Horticultural research
for the Agriculture Department. It
includes some of the azaleas, lilies
and chrysanthemums now under
study in the flower-breeding pro-
gram.
Blueprinting new varieties OF
flowers and creating them to con-
form to the blueprint is a rather
complex process. The scientist may
seek to create a variety with more
and larger flowers on taller, stur-
dier plants than any now grown.
His aim may be new and interest
ing variations in color, shape and
petal formation. He may want to
extend the Towering season or to
fill in gaps with mid-season bloom
ers. Often he seeks disease re-
sistance. Usually he has more
than one goal In mind when he
makes selections for crossing and
breeding new varities.
10 New AzoIeos Released
Ten azaleas released this past
month. for example, were planned
as hardy garden varieties with a
wide adaptation. In planning
these new azaleas, the Beltsville
scientists had in mind vigorous,
profusely- Towering plants with a
wide range of flower colors.
Though tremendous advances
have been made in theoretical
botany and the plant breeder can
now make many crosses that were
formerly impossible, the creation
of a new variety of flowers still
takes several years.
The research in breeding the
new azaleas illustrates this point.
It was started in 1910 by the late
Guy E.. Yerkes and r. L. Pryor
under DR.. Emsweller's direction.
For parentage the scientists used
four well known and widely grown

Chrysonthemums in Show
The chrysanthemums in the
Department exhibit demonstrate
research in Cd breeding new va
rieties, and. CD the effect of day
length on bringing them into
flower at, any season desired.
These are from the collection of
new materials that will be re-
leased In part this year. DR.. Ems
weller has been working with
chrysanthemums ever since he
came to Beltsville in 1885. The
Department has introduced 26
varieties in the past Is years. All
of these are garden varieties. Six
of them are specifically adapted.
to the South. The remainder can
be grown outdoors in other parts
of the country. They represent
wide range in color. Three that
are now well known are: the Al
gonquin, created by F. L. Null
ford. now retired, and introduced
in 1885; the Ivory Glow and
Tampico. created by DR., Ems
weller and released in 1913.
The new varieties planned for
release this year have been tested
in % States, from Massachusetts
to California, and from Michi-
gan to Texas.
Thanks to basic research in the
response Of chrysanthemums to
day length, florists can now bring
these plants into flower at any
season they wish.
Normally, NUNS form buds in
the fall after the days get shorter,
the nights long. They will not
flower when the nights are short.
Research at Beltsville shows that
NUNS will not flower if lighted
two hours in the middle Of the
night. This second response has
been the key to spring Towering.
Heretofore. there was no method
for preventing early spring plant
ed NUNS from coming into flower
before the plants were proper size
Now by turning on the lights in
the middle of the night, the florist
delays budding until the plants
are tall and strong. He then
forces them into flower by shading
them with black sateen from S
pm. to 7 am. BY these means
the traditional autumn mum can
be made available for spring we'd
dings and commencement pro-
grams.
SoiI-less Culture Model
The soil-less culture bench in
the exhibit is a model now widely
used commercially as well as for
scientific studies. 1t is equipped
with a tank to hold plant nutrient
solution and a pump which forces
the solution into the bench auto
matically. Vermiculite-the same
mica used for housing insulation
but untreated with a water re-
pellant-is used instead of soil to
support the plants. The nutrient
is drained off by gravity.
This arrangement permits the
scientists to learn a great deal
about the physiology of plants
and about the effects the different
elements of plant nutrients have
on yield, quality and disease re-
sistance in plants.
