The Famous Mcry Washington — 



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 Aspar- 

 agus was developed and introduced by 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture 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 — Sarly — 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 be- 

 cause 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. 



How to Grow Asparagus 



Asparagus is easy to grow and should be in every 

 garden because it thrives everywhere. Spring is the 

 best time to plant as soon as the soil can be worked 

 into good condition. Dig or plow a trench ten inches 

 deep, place the plants in this trench and spread the 

 roots, then cover with two inches of soil, when the 

 new growth comes through fill in two more inches 

 and continue until trench is full. For garden culture 

 Asparagus may be planted eighteen inches apart 

 each way, but for field culture plant two feet apart 

 in the row with the rows four feet apart. Cultivate 

 and hoe frequently. 



Plant Heavy Two Year Roots 



We recommend planting the heavy two-year 

 roots for best results, these plants come into bearing 

 earlier and bear heavier crops than one-year plants.
