MARY WASHINGTON 



COMMERCIAL GROWERS 

 Asparagus Roots are a special- 

 ty with us and if you are inter- 

 ested in large quantities, please 

 write us for special prices. 



The Famous Mary Washington — True To 

 Name — Plant This Pedigreed Strain 



There is no variety of Asparagus as good as Mary 

 Washington and whether you are growing for home 

 use only or for market you cannot afford to grow any 

 other. This wonderful new Asparagus was developed 

 and introduced by the U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture and although it is just a recent introduction it has become famous the 

 country over. 



Rust Resistant — Profitable 



Growers everywhere are discarding all other varieties in favor of the famous 

 Mary Washington, because it is earlier, the stalks are larger, more tender and 

 more productive than any other variety and more highly immune to rust, which 

 means that one planting will produce profitable crops for many years. 



Large — Early — Tender — Juicy 



Asparagus buyers now demand Mary Washington and are 

 willing to pay fancy prices to get it. The demand for Mary 

 Washington is tremendous because when it is once eaten, no 

 other variety will give satisfaction. The stalks are purplish 

 green color, large, tender and juicy. A very rapid grower, 

 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 

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

 more growth and yield larger crops of Asparagus sooner than 

 the 1-year roots. 



Plant Harrisons' Pedigreed Roots 



We have made a specialty of growing Asparagus roots for 

 over forty years and have supplied plants for some of the 

 finest Asparagus beds in the country. The growing, handling,

 many things and today we are in position to supply you with 

 quality roots at low cost. All our crowns were grown direct 

 from the original strain of seed.
