IT'S EASY TO GROW YOUR OWN 



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 

 are 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 13) 



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 1Y<i 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.

* 28 TENDERGREEN 



First in Quality — The Bean De Luxe 



For those who demand quality above all else, we recommend Tendergreen. The 



pods are absolutely 

 stringless and fiber- 

 i less, with a delicious 



flavor and a melting 

 tenderness that dis- 

 tinguishes them as 

 the ultimate in qual- 

 ity. Tendergreen is 

 not an erratic pro- 

 ducer, but a depend- 

 able and prolific bear- 

 er. It is one of the 

 earliest beans in cul- 

 tivation. The vigor- 

 ous plants average 

 from 14 to 15 inches 

 high, the stems are 

 stout and rigid, the 

 foliage is heavy, 

 glossy and attractive. 

 The pods are deep, 

 rich green in color, 

 extremely brittle, 

 perfectly round, and 

 6 to t>Yi inches long. 

 Ready for use in 48 

 days.
