A|)plicati()ii of tbe growlb retardant CGC to gladiohis i)lants resulted in stimulalion of stem lengtb, increased number of flowers per sjjikc and a slight advancement of antbesis date. Leaves of treated jilants were bcavier tban control and contained a bigber amount of water and cbloropliyll. The antbocyaniii content in petals was also greatly increased. CCC had little or no effect on the content of the endogenous gibberellins in the acidic ethyl acetate fraction, bvit markedly increased tbe content of the native gibberellins in the aqneous fraction. Tbe mode of action of CCC in |)lants is discussed on tbe basis of tbese results and a review of tbe literalnre.
