Our VegetaDle Descriptions 



EACH year we plant at our Oakview Seed Breed- 

 ing Station near Detroit and at our Salinas Seed 

 Breeding Station in California, many thousand 

 samples for trial purposes. These samples include 

 not only our own stocks but also many of those of 

 our competitors. The records of these trials are the 

 chief source of information for the descriptions 

 contained in this book. 



The number of days indicated to produce vege- 

 tables ready for table use will, of course, vary from 

 year to year, depending on seasonal conditions. 

 Size and quality are also influenced, although prob- 

 ably to a less extent, by conditions of growth and 

 geographical location. The data given is based on 

 average performance rather than on behavior 

 under the most favorable conditions. 



NOTE! 



Because of the rapidly increasing interest in frozen 

 pack vegetables, we have starred (*) the varieties 

 in this list which at the present time seem to be 

 favored for quick freezing. 



Varieties starred are to be regarded as suggestions 

 rather than recommendations, as the conclusions 

 are based only on experimental work which has 

 been done to date. Other varieties may later be 

 found fully as well suited for the purpose. 



This list does not necessarily describe all the varieties we 

 can offer. If interested in other items not listed, kindly 

 write us.
