Asparagus Roots 



Splendid for home garden or market. TKe plants are very easy to grow, 

 and a bed when once established will thrive for many years. 



As a field crop, asparagus is very profitable, and there is almost never an 

 over supply in the city markets, the prices remaining high throughout the 

 season. 



Any good garden soil will give excellent crops, but it should be manured 

 freely.

Cabbage Plants 



Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants Double Your Profits 



Along the South Carolina coast the soil and clirratic conditions are just 

 suited for growing tough, hardy Cabbage plants, during the winter and early 

 spring. The plants make a slow but steady growth, urtil at eight to ten weeks 

 of age they are very tough and hardy. When in this condition they can be 

 shipped to territory farther north and be planted in the open ground a month 

 to six weeks sooner than the home-grown hotbed or coldframe plants could be 

 planted. These frost-proof Cabbage plants will stand a temperature of 8 to 10 

 degrees above zero without injury. 



The plants grow very fast, maturing headed Cabbage ten days to three 

 weeks sooner than you can mature them from hotbed and coldframe plants. 

 You know what the difference in profit will be if your crop is matured and 

 marketed before the general crops from home-grown plants is matured. 



To get the advantage of these frost-prcof cabbage plants they must be 

 planted a month or six weeks earlier than you would plant home-grown plants.
