What puzzles me about this is that it's a Russian variety, supposedly bred for that climate.
Are you puzzled because "Russia" doesn't imply "long growing season" to you any more than it does to me? I would expect parts of Russia to have climate like ours, though. And I know Robeson traveled in the USSR after WW2, and he and Russia were impressed with one another.
