rg ped Maturity Dates 
The average number of days required 
from the time the seed is sown until vege- 
tables are ready for use is given with each 
variety. Where plants must first be grown, 
such as Celery, Cabbage, Peppers, Toma- 
toes, etc., the number of days to maturity 
is from the time plants are set in the gar- 
den. Of course, the time is average, having 
been obtained over a period of years in our 
trial grounds under different conditions; 
some variation is to be expected, depend- 
ing on the season, locality and time of sow- 
ing. The approximate maturity dates 
given will show the relative time when 
different varieties will be ready to use.
