kK The time Tequirements for crops to reach edible size varies, of course, according to the seasons and varieties. Different soils also have a profound influence. 
tomato, for instance, which in Southern New Jersey will mature in 90 days, may require from 100 to 110 days in sections further north having heavy clay soils: 
Allowance also must be made for the relative estimate of the yields, due to clrmatse and syil conditions, But the averages will be found to be :airly accurate on 
the basis of many years of observation.
