REGARDING NUMBER OF DAYS 
TO MATURITY 
The number of days required by any particular variety 
to produce garden stuff ready for table use varies from 
year to year and depends upon growing and seasonal con¬ 
ditions. In our description of most varieties we are giving 
the average number of days from seed to edible stage. Time 
given for broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, pepper and tomato is 
days from setting plants to marketing fruits. Figures are 
based on growing conditions here and are meant only for 
convenience in comparing earliness of varieties. 
Less time to maturity is required in the South and for 
late planted crops. 
WHAT ABOUT THE PRICE OF SEED? 
One of the leading European seedsmen has to say about 
prices and quality of seeds as follows: “No Seedsman can 
afford to go to the expense of producing a superior, highly 
bred strain, and then go -out and sell it on the market in 
a price competition with the man who takes little or no 
pains to keep his stocks pure. That road leads to ruin 
sooner or later. If he feels compelled to meet prices with 
irreputable dealers, he should not attempt to waste any 
time or money in breeding up better stocks, and incidentally, 
he may not expect to secure and hold the better class of 
market garden trade.” 
Our policy has always been to grow the finest seeds we 
know how and to secure from growers who specialize in 
their line, items that we do not produce ourselves. Our seed 
prices are as low as is consistent with the quality we have 
to offer. Send us your orders.
