This study is to prolong the vase life of stock by different developmental stages of racemes and preservative treatment. The developmental stages of racemes may be different due to the market demand. For the domestic market the developmental stages of racemes should be harvested when 50% florets blooming. The developmental stages of racemes should be earlier because the handling and shipping will take a week for the Japan market, therefore, 33% florets blooming is the optimum stage. The vase life of the cultivars have different result, and the 'yellow wave' is excellent in the test cultivars. The vase life was improved by all preservative treatment. The Chrysal AVB pre-treat 4 hours had 90% of floret blooming. It was better than 8-HQS, 8-HQS with 2% sugar, and 1-MCP 4 hours pre-treat.
