NEW ENGLAND TREES and PLANTS 



"Mew England Grown Means Quality" 



The vitality and hardiness of our products are due to exceptional 

 soil conditions and a rigorous climate. Their High Quality is 

 due to a thorough knowledge of propagation and cultivation. 



New England Homes and Gardens 



are the finest in America. Why? They have been laid out and 

 planted by men who know how. Our concern is responsible 

 for the treatment of hundreds of them. 



Our 1910 Catalog, mailed free^ tells the whole story. Don't buy — don't plant, 

 until you have seen it. 



The New England Nurseries, Inc., Bedford, Mass. 



GROW ASPARAGUS IN FOUR TO FIVE 

 WEEKS IN YOUR GARDEN 



Big, White, showy stalks can be grown in four or five weeks. Most dainty and healthy 

 vegetable ata minimum cost. Notrouble, no care from thetimethe bed is made until out. 



Reliable, practical method. A bed six by three feet will produce asparagus 

 enough for a family of five with some to sell to your neighbors. 



Intensive cultivation is the most profitable method of vegetable growing. 



It produces the best crops and the earliest. Getting to market first with the 

 earliest vegetables brings the advanced price. Our book is the only practical 

 treatise in this Country on the French method of intensive cultivation. Besides the 

 Story of asparagus forcing, the book tells in a simple way all the principal methods that 

 allow the working of the smallest amount of land with the largest financial returns. 



Flexible cover, $1.00 :-: Library edition, $1.25, postpaid.
