REMARKS ON VARIETY DESCRIPTIONS 



Every season samples of each lot of our seeds as well as of promising novelties are planted for 

 observation at our Oakview Experimental Gardens near Detroit and at our Salinas Experimental 

 Gardens in California. The records of these trials constitute the chief source of information used in 

 the descriptions in this booklet. 



The number of days required by any particular variety to produce garden stufiF 

 fully fit for table use will vary as much as a week, more or less, from year to year, 

 depending upon seasonal conditions. It is notable that garden peas which require 55 

 days in the locality of Detroit to produce green peas, reach the same stage of develop- 

 ment in Alaska in two weeks less time under the influence of long days. Likewise, but 

 probably to a less extent, the character of size is influenced by the seasonal conditions 

 and geographical location. For the sake of uniformity in describing the comparative 

 earUness of varieties, we have used the records of the Oakview Experimental Gardens 

 and base our remarks on a summary of many years' observation. We beHeve this !to be a 

 better standard of comparison and more useful information than the record of behavior 

 under particularly favorable conditions.
