WHEN TO PLANT 
Because of year to year weather variations it is difficult to list specific dates at which 
various crops should be planted. Therefore may we suggest natures own signs. 
THE VERY EARLY VARIETIES: Broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, 
lettuce, round seeded peas, radishes, rutabagas, spinach and turnips can be safely planted 
at the time the farmer seeds oats. 
THE EARLY VARIETIES: Beets, onion sets, wrinkled pea d iss 
when the earliest tulips and daffodils are blooming. Deena ap ae ass ee 
LATE SPRING CROPS: Bush beans, sweet corn, pumpkins and squash may be planted 
when the apple blossoms and lilacs are in full bloom. 
SUMMER CROPS: Lima beans, pole beans, cucumbers, muskmelons and okra may be 
planted and plants of eggplant, peppers and tomatoes set out when the apple blossom 
petals have fallen and the late tall iris are in full bloom. 
FALL CROPS: Turnips, bush beans, Chinese cabbage, mustard, radishes, lettuce and spin- 
ach may be sown in late July or early August to replace the early crops.

NUMBER OF DAYS 
TO MATURITY 
The number of days required by any 
particular variety to produce garden stuff 
ready for table use varies from year to
