Smiths Monthly Planting Guide 
FOR THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY AND SIMILAR CLIMATES 
For the colder sections of California, the 
time of planting should be determined by 
the weather conditions. In Northern Cali- 
fornia and in the higher altitudes, most of 
the varieties listed here should be planted 
in the spring, after all danger of frost. 
All seeds listed herein are particularly 
adapted to any section of the United States 
as well as California, if planted during the 
proper planting season. You can make your 
purchases with full confidence.
