* 4 Washington Rust-Resistant Asparagus 



The Newest Creation in Asparagus for the Home 

 Garden or Market 



This rust-proof asparagus is the result of years of plant breeding, conducted by 

 the Bureau of Plant Industry of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, with the object 

 of eliminating rust, which has heretofore proven so disastrous to asparagus crops in 

 all sections. This strain is not only practically free from rust and other diseases, but 

 it is also larger and more vigorous. In color it is a dark green, with a heavy over- 

 cast of rich purple. Has a tight, pointed bud, and does not branch out until well 

 beyond the market height. Makes a clean, straight growth. Produces the finest kind 

 of green asparagus, both for home use or market. In appearance, when bunched for 

 market, this asparagus can not be excelled. If you already have an asparagus bed 

 it will pay you to plant some of this variety and note the improvement over the kind 

 you are now growing. Our roots are the best we ever grew. While our stock is large, 

 the demand has been very great, so advise ordering early.
