DAYS TO MATURITY—Although 
different conditions and locations 
make it impossible to predict the 
exact number of days required to 
mature any given vegetable, we 
have, for your convenience, listed 
the approximate number of days re- 
quired to mature these varieties in 
the Middle West. 
QUICK FREEZING of Vegetables
