 Washington is tremendous because when it is once eaten, no

 which means many cuttings. 



We Recommend Two-Year Roots 



Experience has taught us that 2-year roots give better 

 results than 1 -year roots. The 2-year roots are much larger 

 and have more food stored up, which causes them to make 

 more growth and yield larger crops of Asparagus sooner than 

 the 1-year roots. For home gardens use 3-year jumbo roots 

 for quickest results.
