PLANTING TABLE of Vegetable Seeds and Roots 
Even good seeds are discouraged by wrong handling. 
They have a normal time of germinating and developing 
and when given an even break—proper planting, correct 
spacing, good soil and fair weather conditions, they 
seldom fail to give you bountiful harvests in return. 
Wards Triple Tested Vegetable Seeds are a superior 
quality—carefully selected, propagated under ideal con¬ 
ditions, packed and stored to keep them at their best. 
Plant and care for them properly and they will yield 
the fullest return you have ever enjoyed from seeds. 
The planting time on this chart is figured as of the 
central part of the area of United States east of the 
Rockies, and about latitude 40, approximately that of 
Philadelphia, Pa.; Columbus, Ohio; Springfield, Illinois; 
Indianapolis, Indiana; St. Joseph, Missouri; Lincoln, 
Nebraska and Denver, Colorado. Localize planting 
time by figuring about three days earlier for each 50 
miles south of that line and three days later for each 
50 miles north of it. Use, of course, your own knowledge 
of local conditions and seasonal weather.
