The time required for crops to reach edible size varies, of course, according to the seasons and 
varieties. Different soils also have a profound influence. A 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 climatic and soil 
conditions. But the averages will be found to be fairly accurate on the basis of many years of observations.
