More Than 90 Years With One Objective— 



NOTE! "Days to table size" means length of time from date of planting to the time when the vegetables are ready to eat in the climate 

 of southern Michigan. In most cases the reference is to seed planting; in the case of broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauli- 

 flower, celery, egg plant, pepper, and tomato, length of time starts with the date the plants are set in the open ground.
