Maturity Dates 
The average number of days required from the time the seed is 
sown until vegetables are ready for use is given with each variety. 
Where plants must first be grown, such as Celery, Cabbage, Pep- 
pers, Tomatoes, etc., the number of days to maturity is from the 
time plants are set in the garden. 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, de- 
pending on the season, locality and time of sowing. The approxi- 
mate maturity dates given will show the relative time when differ- 
satisfactory throughout the country. 
ent varieties will be ready to use.
