In order to simplify the planning of your garden and so that you may have your seed requirements on hand in good season, we 
have prepared the following vegetable planting table. The dates given must by necessity be approximate. Weather conditions 
vary so from year to year that hard and fast rules in regard to times of planting are impossible. Also, these dates are planned 
for the latitude of Boston and allowances must be made for warmer or colder climates. Our estimates on the number of plants, 
or the length of row that an ounce or a pound of seed will sow, are moderate. In many cases many more plants will result and if 
great care is taken in handling, the seed will sow a row longer than that specified. @ In spite of variations such as are mentioned 
above we believe that you will find this chart helpful.
