Tulip bulbs (cv. ‘Apeldoorn’) were grown under three commercial forcing treatments and in the field in two seasons, and changes in shoot dry weight and height were followed and compared with changes in epidermal cell length.Changes in storage temperature did not always result in changes in dry weight or extension growth of shoots. The final relative growth rates in the field were as high as those of the forced bulbs, and the larger size of the field-grown plants was due to their longer growth period. Stem and leaf extension were almost entirely due to elongation of cells produced early in development, but there were some indications of cell division in field-grown plants.In a late season (flower initiation 2–3 weeks later than normal) cell number appeared to be low. Stems were short because of inadequate cold treatment, except in one case where extra cold resulted in normal stem lengths but with very long cells. We suggest that low cell number in the shoot is associated with late flower initiation, and that this may be due to small apical size. Early forcing of such material is unsuccessful, although growth in the field is satisfactory, because a longer growing season allows further cell division to occur.
