MANNS’ SPECIAL STRAIN BONNY BEST—Our special 
strain of Bonny Best has become a favorite among large 
growers for the early market. It is truly so superior to 
the ordinary stocks that it might rightfully be considered a 
new variety. Pkt., 10c: oz.. 30c: 14 Ib.. $1.00: Ib., $3.50. 
MANNS’ SPECIAL MARGLOBE—This well known variety 
has been subjected to so many varying conditions and de- 
grees of care in the matters pertaining to seed production 
that ordinary commercial stocks of it are far below the 
standard of the late Dr. Pritchard’s original introduction. 
By using extreme care in rogueing, however, we have main- 
tained the true Marglobe type, which is far superior to 
ordinary commercial stocks. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 14 Ib., $1.35;

ASPARAGUS 
1 ounce to 60 feet of drill; 1 pound per acre; 
3,000 plants per acre. 
Sow in spring in drills about eighteen inches apart and 
two inches deep in light, rich soil, planting fifteen to twenty 
seeds to each foot of row. Thin to about one inch apart and 
give frequent and thorough cultivation during the summer. 
Set the plants about four inches deep and one to two feet 
apart in rows four to six feet apart. After the plants are 
well started, give frequent and thorough cultivation. Early 
the next spring spade in a heavy dressing of manure and 
about one quart of salt and double the quantity of fresh 
wood ashes to each square rod and cultivate well as long as 
the size of plants will permit, or until they begin to die 
down. The next season the bed may be cut over two or 
three times. After the final cutting, give a good dressing 
of manure, ashes and salt.
