Create Own Climate For Growing
Los Angeles reports that California flower growers build plastic and glass greenhouses costing about 45 000 dollars per acre to create artificial climates. The industry uses artificial seasons with lights and dormancy to bloom year round, with 90 percent of California cut flowers now grown under glass or plastic. California led with 38.3 million dollars in carnations chrysanthemums gladioli and roses in 1966, while air shipments rose from 15 million pounds in 1956 to 30 million pounds in 1966. San Diego tops counties with 14.3 million, followed by Santa Clara 12.2, Alameda 10.6, San Mateo 10.1, Los Angeles 9.5, Orange 4.7, Santa Barbara 4, and Ventura 3.2 million. The industry seeks to persuade more customers to say it with flowers beyond holidays and events, including proposed handy take home containers.
