Notice Regarding Packaging of Seed in Cloth Bags 
Due to the labor shortage and needs 
of our armed forces, cloth is becoming 
very scarce. For this reason the War 
Production Board has issued their 
conservation order No. M-221, which 
provides that seed can be put in 2, 
5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 pound textile 
bags. This means that no longer can 
we put up the 1 pound sealed cloth 
bags when packaging large lots for 
dealers and associations. One larger 
bag will carry the same amount of 
seed, and will use less cloth than will 
a number of small bags. 
In case you are ordering for yourself 
and neighbors, or if a dealer, and you 
wish smaller sized packages which 
would be more convenient for distri- 
bution; we suggest that you indicate 
the number of packages of each size 
of a variety, taking into consideration 
the above order. By dividing between 
2 pound and 5 pound packages, nearly 
any amount required can be readily 
available. If 1 pound lots are neces- 
sary, these can be put up in flat kraft 
paper envelopes. 
We shall again package seed in the 1 
pound sealed cloth bags when there 
is no longer need for conservation of 
cotton; as this is the ideal package for 
distribution, for checking amount of 
seed being planted per acre, and for 
the confidence of knowing that the 
seed has been handled in bulk the 
fewest number of times.

The number of days required by 
any particular variety to produce 
garden stuff -ready for table use 
varies from year to year and de- 
pends upon growing and seasonal 
conditions. In our description of 
most varieties we are giving the 
average number of days from seed 
to edible stage. Time given for 
broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, 
pepper and tomato is days from 
setting plants to marketing fruits. 
Figures are based on growing con- 
ditions here and are meant only for 
convenience in comparing earliness 
of varieties. Less time to maturity 
may be required in the South and 
for late planted crops.
