MID-SEASON SORTS 
Those varieties which reach maturity between October 25 and November 20 are con¬ 
sidered mid-season. 
In giving the height of mid-season varieties we have based our estimate on good, strong 
plants benched June 15. 
In favorable seasons some of the varieties will perfect blooms a few days before Novem¬ 
ber 1 , but as climatic conditions have much to do with the flowering season, the dates given 
must not be considered infallible.
