STRETCH YOUR RATION POINTS 
Each variety in our catalog is described as accurately as we know 
how. These honest descriptions make it possible for you to choose 
more exactly the varieties you want in your garden. At the head- 
ing of each vegetable seed description we give further guidance by 
stating the number of days generally required to bring that par- 
ticular variety to maturity. In the case of cabbage, tomato, etc., 
the number of days shown refers to the time between transplant- 
ing and maturity. 
Varieties listed with the four-leaf clover symbol ye are outstanding 
in popularity and are good choices when you are in doubt. Cul- 
tural instructions are printed on every seed packet, giving the 
time and method of planting, together with suggestions for the 
care of the growing crop. 
If you generally plant only vegetables, consider an attractive bor- 
der of flowers around your garden. It’s like parsley on potatoes— 
the finishing touch.

Asparagus 
Asparagus is a long-term project, but like anything else worth while it repays 
patience handsomely. An established bed will last for many years, each 
new crop repaying with interest the initiative that started it going. The 
cutting season continues for 7 to 8 weeks, beginning very early in the spring. 
Mary Washington has replaced all other varieties of asparagus because the 
shoots are larger, thicker, and more uniform. This variety is practically 
immune to rust and other diseases. The delicious flavor and tenderness of 
the dark green shoots are unsurpassed, and their straight, tall eo makes 
them most attractive.
