COMMERCIAL VEGETABLES FOR FRESH MARKET

USUAL PLANTING AND HARVESTING DATES AND

PRINCIPAL PRODUCING AREAS

This bulletin contains information by States on the usual planting and harvesting dates, and prin-

:ipal producing areas for the 28 principal vegetable and melon crops grown for fresh market, and for

strawberries and mint for oil. The States included for individual crops are those for which estimates

pf acreage, production and value were made in 1954 by the Crop Reporting Board. It is intended that

similar bulletins for potatoes and for the 11 principal vegetables for processing will be prepared.

The material on following pages is arranged by crops in alphabetical order, except mint on page

110 and strawberries on page 112. The information for each State is listed under the seasonal classifications used in the preparation of reports of acreage and production for these crops. All State esti-

)matesfor these commodities are classified according to the season, or period within the season, when

the bulk of each crop is usually harvested. The seasonal groupings used are as follows:

SEASONAL GROUPS AND SUB-GROUPS USED FOR VEGETABLE AND MELON CROPS

(Dates refer to period of most active harvest)

Classifications Most Commonly Used

Winter: January, February, March Early Summer: July 1 - August 15

Spring: April, May, June Late Summer: August 16 - September 30

Early Spring: April 1 - May 15 Fall: October, Novennber, December

Late Spring: May 16 - June 30 Early Fall: October 1 - November 15

Summer: July, August, Septeinber Late Fcdl: November 16 - December 31

Classifications Used for Certain Short Season Crops

Early Spring: April Early Summer: July

Mid-Spring: May Mid-Summer: August

Late Spring: June Late Summer: September

In practice the beginning and ending of these seasons are not fixed dates but approximations.

There is necessarily some overlapping in the marketing seasons for individual crops, and weather frequently disturbs normal harvest schedules. Consequently, the classifications employed are frequently

less precise than the dates indicate. Harvesting dates refer to the period when the crop is picked, cut,

or pulled and renaoved from the field and not necessarily to dates of marketing. For perishables, harvesting and marketing periods are identical but the marketing season for storage crops, such as cabbage and onions, extends beyond the date that harvest is terminated»

Planting dates reflect the period during which seeding, setting, or transplanting to the field is

usually accomplished, and they are intended to be inclusive dates for commercial fresh market production in all areas where the crop is grown. However, it is recognized that early or late fields may

at times be planted outside of the period indicated» The dates do not take into account abnormal planting seasons caused by climatic or economic factors.

Principal producing areas for individual States are designated by geographic location, district or

area name where applicable, and counties in which the crop is grown. Counties are listed in alphabetical order without reference to their importance.

The dot map on the opposite page portrays graphically the distribution of total vegetable acreage

in the United States. Although it includes vegetables grown for processing as well as for fresh market,

it provides information relative to the location of the Nation's producing areas. A map restricted to

vegetables for fresh market is not available.

Prepared for publication by Irvin Holmes, Joe E. Mullin, and Eugene H. Carter under the general supervision of Reginald Royston, agricultural statisticians in the Fruit and Vegetable Statistics Branch,

from basic material furnished by State agricultural statisticians.
