A Profitable Side Crop 



Asparagus plumosus is a main crop with 

 many growers having extensive modern 

 p'ants but those with less up-to date es- 

 tablishments, or parts of same defective in 

 lighting or otherwise unsuitable for high 

 grade crops, — will find this subject one of 

 the very best. We have prepared a cul- 

 tural circular giving concise directions 

 ho* to make money out of this crop. 

 Send for it. No charge. .'\n important 

 feature in asparagus culture is good seed. 

 The P. M. quality of greenhouse grown 

 seed has earned a high reputation for 

 freshness and purity. It is the true nanus 

 and greenhouse grown. Send for trial 

 pkg., 100 seeds filly cents, if you wish to 

 experiment only. In (juantity $3-75 per 

 1000 seeds, $32.50 per 10,000 seeds. As- 

 paragus Sprengeri 75c. per 1000, $5. 00 per 

 10,000 seeds.
