18 E. W. TOWNSEND & SONS’ STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
TOWNSEND’S CHOICE 
ASPARAGUS 
Being the first vegetable to come in the Spring always 
brings a high price on the markets. Stocks being delicious 
and very healthful, every garden should have a generous 
supply, and when properly set and cared for will last a 
lifetime. Set in trenches 10 inches deep and 4% feet 
apart; spacing in rows by spreading out 12 to 15 inches 
apart, cover with about 4 inches of soil and work addi- 
tional soil around plants as they grow out. Very easily 
grown and any surplus can readily be sold to the neighbors. 
Big profits are being made on beds of no more than one-half 
acre. (5000 plants will set an acre.)
