CURRIE'S Tested 

 Varieties 



A 



rtichoke 



Sow early in March and transplant 

 when warm in rows 4 feet apart and 

 2 feet in the rows. Cut the tops off 

 in winter and protect with a heavy 

 covering of straw or leaves. The 

 first season will yield only a partial 

 crop. The second year, thin the 

 shoots to three of the best, and 

 these will begin to form heads early 



LARGE GREEN GLOBE— Oz., 50c; 

 Pkt., lOc. 



ASPARAGUS 



May be grown in almost any soil, 

 but succeeds best in rich, sandy 

 friable loam with good under drain- 

 age. Avoid planting near trees or 

 tall shrubs, because of the shade 

 and heavy draft on the fertility of 

 the ground.

CULTURE— Begin sowing dwarf or 

 bush varieties the first week in May, 

 If the ground is in fit condition. For 

 successive crops sowings may be 



made every two or three weeks until 

 the 15th of July. Mature In 45 to 65 

 days. Sow thinly in drills 2 to 3 

 inches deep and from 18 inches to 

 2 feet apart. Never cultivate beans 

 while the foliage is wet or covered 

 with dew, because the bean-spot or 

 anthracnose will spread very rapidly 

 if carried on the clothing or hoe. 

 (120 lbs. to the acre in drills.)
