Default Lens Distance Setting

In Leica technical data for any given lens, I often see in the "distance setting" area, a detail of "smallest object field" and "highest reproduction ratio."

Ex for the Summicron 35mm, the smallest object field is 419 x 627 mm and the highest reproduction ration is listed as 1:17.5

What does this information mean, and what application does it have when taking a photo or printing it?
