ACH year we plant at our Oakview Seed Breeding 
Station near Detroit and at our Salinas Seed Breed- 
ing Station in California, many thousand samples for 
trial purposes. These samples include not only our own 
stocks but also many of those of our competitors. The 
records of these trials are the chief source of information 
for the descriptions contained in this book. 
The number of days indicated to produce vegetables 
ready for table use will, of course, vary from year to year, 
depending on seasonal conditions. Size and quality is 
also influenced, although probably to a less extent, by 
conditions of growth and geographical location. The 
data given is based on average performance rather than 
on behavior under the most favorable conditions. 
NOTE! 
Because of the rapidly increasing interest in frozen pack 
vegetables, we have starred (*) the varieties in this list 
which at the present time seem to be favored for quick 
freezing. — 
Varieties starred care to be regarded as suggestions 
rother than recommendations, as the conclusions are 
based only on experimental work which has been done 
to date, and other varieties may later be found fully as 
well suited to the purpose.
