Planting, Maturity and Weight Table 
This is for field planting, and where plants and roots arc stated, it is necessary to have them ready beforehand. 
The third column indicates the distance that the plants should stand in the rows, and where seed is sown they 
should be thinned out to this distance. The fifth column indicates maturity from the time plants are planted in the 
field, or seed is sown in the field. Also note that the last column is the approximate weight of seeds and not prod- 
ucts. Time of planting and maturity is for latitude of Lexington. 
* Indicates that the crop can either be planted in the Spring or Fall; if in the Spring, February to April; in 
the Fall, August and September.
