y Flower data:  first flower is the average number of days from seed sowing to the unfurling of the first flower.  Divergence is the average number of days that lapse between the unfurling of the first flower and the last flower in plot or flat.  This data was taken in the field (3-6 plant plots) African marigolds, and in the flat (48 plants/cultivar/flat) for French marigolds.  Weather conditions resulted in delay of bed preparation and flowering in the flat for French marigolds; growth regulationi required the application of 1500 mg.L-1 Cycocel + 2500 mg.L-1 B-nine on 15 and 22 Sept. on transplants in flats.
