Planting, Maturity and Weight Table 
This is for field planting, and where plants and roots are stated, it is necessary to have them ready before hand. 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 products. Time of planting and maturity is for lati- 
tude 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.
