STOKES PLANTING TABLE 



This table has been prepared after the most careful study. We beUeve it will be found accui'ate under normal 

 conditions. However, there may be times and places when it wall not apply without a slight adjustment and we 

 would caution against using it without first taking cognizance of local conditions. The terms "north" and "south" 

 apply generally to the latitudes of New Jersey and the Gulf Coast. No allowance is made for altitude.
