TRUE-TO-NAME SMALL FRUIT PLANTS 



ASPARAGUS 



One, Two and Three Year Old Roots 



Asparagus is considered the 

 most profitable vegetable crop 

 grown either for home use of mar- 

 ket purpose. It is one of the very 

 first to appear in the spring, and 

 never a crop failure, a few cold 

 days may delay the crop a few 

 days but as soon as the sun warms 

 up the crop is on and from early 

 spring until mid-summer there is a 

 supply every day. Plant in light 

 loose soil if possible, well enriched, 

 if soil is heavy it is best to plow 

 under a heavy supply of well rotted 

 manure before planting. Plant in 

 rows four feet wide and crowns 

 two feet apart. Large two and 

 three year old roots will produce a 

 good supply the second year and a 

 bed will last for twenty years if 

 taken care of. 



Washington — This is a new 

 strain on the market and is prov- 

 ing better than some of the older 

 strains, though the culture given a 



bed of Asparagus means more than the variety. Rich soil kept rich 

 and well cultivated means a good crop every year no matter what 

 variety used, and the best varieties will not produce the best As- 

 paragus unless given good attention. Washington Asparagus, 

 when given good culture is extra large and tender and a heavy 

 yielder. 



Giant Argenteuil, Palmetto Conovers Collossal and Barrs Mam- 

 moth — Are all standard varieties, and all good when given proper 

 attention. The above varieties can be had in one, two and three 

 year old No. 1 roots.
