CALIFORNIA VEGETABLES 



has been collecting for the last thirty years. It would be easy to 

 add more data to the tables as inferences from what is laid down, 

 but readers can do that for themselves. It is beyond question, for 

 instance, that a vegetable planted in May and July could also be 

 planted in June, and is no doubt planted in June in actual practice. 

 But to present tables which are actual and not inferential, only 

 affirmative and specific cases are given place. The work of several 

 hundred growers is condensed into these tables. 



Separate showings are made for southern California and for 

 the valley and foothill portions of the upper part of the state. It 

 will be seen that they strikingly agree. There are practically frost- 

 less regions near the coast in southern California which are not 

 found elsewhere in the state, although it is only with the tenderest 

 growths that the difference becomes apparent. Other vegetables 

 take about the same courses in early regions, both north and south. 

 Still it is well to reduce the fact to a set of records such as these 

 tables embody.
