Asparagus 

 PlumosusNanus 



Last year, owins to the almost total failure 

 of the AsparaKus Plumosus to see'l. I was 

 unable to till my orders, but this season 1 am 

 to the front with about 2,000,000 seed. 



The plants, after a year's rest, blossomed 

 freely and matured a lieavy crop of what! 

 believe will be the strongest seed ever sent 

 out of California. The Asparagus Plumosus 

 trrown here needs no introduction to you. 

 however, as you are already fully acquainted 

 with its merits. You can tret seed promptly, 

 as they are being harvested now. ami can be 

 ilelivered upon receipt of your order. 



Seeds will be sold by count, with the usual 

 Kuarautee asto geniiiiiatiou, and I will again 

 sell at my usual low. cash-withorder prices
