Don't Neglect the Home Qarden 



There is no greater pleasure and no greater money-saver than for the home owner to create a vec . 

 garden in his own back yard in which he may plant vegetables of his own choosing and, with a little care, 

 produce enough vegetables to keep the home larder full throughout the growing season. 



No garden is complete without its quota of Asparagus and Rhubarb, the only two items which space will 

 permit us listing and describing in this catalogue. Our full line of vegetables is included in another booklet 



which you may have on request. 



ASPARAGUS 



Plenty of Asparagus for q family of six can be grown on a plot 12 feet by 16 feet. 

 In small gardens the Asparagus bed can be placed in one corner or along the fence. 

 The crowns of plants should be 8 inches below the surface and the roots well sf 

 out. Space them 12 inches apart in rows 3 feet wide for garden culture. For f.eld cul- 

 ture, plants should be spaced 18 inches apart in rows 6 to 8 feet apcr 

 bed, properly cared for, will produce good results for 17 years. Our 3-year size roots 

 will produce Asparagus the first year set.
