Our Vegetable Descriptions 
ACH year we plant at our Oakview Seed Breed- 
k ing Station near Detroit and at our Salinas Seed 
Breeding 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 vege- 
tables ready for table use will, of course, vary from 
year to year, depending on seasonal conditions. 
Size and quality are also influenced, although prob- 
ably 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 are to be regarded as suggestions 
rather than recommendations, as the conclusions 
are based only on experimental work which has 
been done to date. Other varieties may later be 
found fully as well suited for the purpose. 
This list does not necessarily describe all the varieties we 
can offer. If interested in other items not listed, kindly 
write us.
