ASPARAGUS | 
| Asparagus may be grown in almost any soil or location. 
Beds that are cared for improve with age and last for many 
years. Cutting may begin the second year after the roots 
jare planted. If seed is used, three to four years longer are 
required before the plants reach cutting size. Plant in 
rows from 3 to 5 feet apart, with a distance of 9 to 24 
inches between the plants. Send for free pamphlet, ‘‘Aspara- 
gus Culture.”’ 
\« GIANT WASHINGTON ROOTS 
This variety is in our opinion the finest in cultivation. 
It adapts itself to most soil conditions and most locations. 
Some varieties of Asparagus seem to be afflicted with 
rust, but Giant Washington—developed under the auspices 
of the United States Agricultural Department—is declared 
to be peculiarly immune from this disease. The shoots are 
|of giant size, very vigorous, straight, and what is still more 
| important, of extra good quality. Dark green tinged with 
purple.

23 LONGREEN (New) 
An All-America Award Winner. A New. Strain of Our 
Famous Tendergreen 
(Shown in Colors on Page 75) 
This new strain has all the good qualities that made Tendergreen the preferred 
variety for the home garden. In addition, however, Longreen produces pods that 
are fully one inch longer—up to 714 inches in length. It is a rare achievement in 
plant breeding to increase the size of a vegetable without in any way detracting 
.from its quality. LONGREEN beans are as stringless, tender and flavorsome as 
the parent variety, and the plants are equally productive. Season 48 days.
