NOTICE 
Use The Telegraph Code 
In sending messages of inquiry or orders, use the telegraph code word 
as given after each variety herein listed. The telegraphic code for weights 
may be found on the inside of the front cover. 
MATURITY DATES 
After most of the varieties listed in the following descriptions, you will 
find, under the heading of “Season,” on the right-hand side of the page, a 
column of numbers representing days. 
Under kinds of vegetables like cabbage, peppers, tomatoes, etc., where 
plants are started in hotbeds or cold frames, these maturity dates are figured 
from the time the plants are set in the field to the marketable stage. With 
the other kinds, the days to maturity are figured from the date seeded. 
No one can predict exactly the number of days that will be required to 
mature a certain vegetable during one particular season, as different con¬ 
ditions and locations affect the growth of a crop. However, by taking an 
average over a number of years, we can, as we have done, give the approxi¬ 
mate days that will be required.
