ASPARAGUS 



Plant asparagus in your home garden as there is nothing 

 from the garden that is so much appreciated as the tender 

 tips and fresh stalks of asparagus. 



Plant asparagus by the acre as it is a good paying com- 

 mercial crop. 



Barrs Mammoth — Early, large, fast grower, an old favorite, 

 Conover's Colossal — Large, rapid growing variety, an old 



variety, being well known and popular. 

 Giant Argenteuil — Earliest, extra large stalks, rich, tender. 

 PALMETTO — Ten days to two weeks earlier than most other 

 varieties. The stalks vary from dark to light green, are very 

 large and of exceptionally good quality. The most exten- 

 sively planted and the old reliable commercial variety. A 

 real money maker. 

 WASHINGTON — A new pedigreed rust resistant asparagus. 

 A standard commercial and home garden variety, being noted

 quality and rust-resistance. Martha Washington and Wash-
