In garden culture set the plants from one to two 

 feet apart in rows three feet apart ; field culture in 

 rows four to six feet apart and the plants two feet 

 apart, putting them about five inches below the 

 surface. 



GIANT AROENTEtlL. The finest and most 

 profitable of all asparagus. Stalks of mammoth 

 size, bright and attractive ; in quality sweet and 

 tender. It yields immensely and is veiy early ; 

 beds of it are strong enough for profitable cutting 

 long before those of any other variety. It is a 

 French variety and has proved a great money 

 maker wherever planted. A large asparagus grower 

 writes: "My Argenteuil is a great success. I 

 could have cut larger stalks from that set a year 

 ago than from a bed of Colossal s<^t three years." 

 2 years, dozen, 50c. ; 100, $1.00; 1000, $6.00. 



COLUMBIAN MA»1^0Tn WHITE. A distinct 

 variety of mammoth siz*^. great yi^^ld and superior 

 quality ; remarkable for the clear whiteness of its 

 stalks, which retain their purity of color until 

 several inches aVjove the surface. It sells quickly 

 by reason of its large size and attractive appear- 

 ance and is, therefore, very profitable. 2 years,

PALMETTO (true\. Very popular by reason of 

 its earliness, large size, yield, and freedom from 

 rust, in all of which it surpasses Conover's Colossal 

 and is equally fine in flavor. A vast amount of 

 asparagus is sold under this name which is not 

 true, but I know my stock of Palmetto to be 

 strictly pure. 2 vears. dozen. 2.5c. ; HX). 60c. ; 1000, 

 S4.00. 



This useful condiment is easily grown and pre- 

 fers a rich, moist loam. Plant In rows eighteen

JERUSALEM ARTICnOKES. 



These are cultivated for their tubers which are 

 unexcelled for stock feeding, possessing great 

 fattening properties and yielding immense crops. 

 They thrive in any soil where com or potatoes will 

 grow, are not injured by freezing in the ground, 

 and maybe left undug for the stock to root out for 

 themselves. A splendid hog food and fine also for 

 sheep. Plant in spring in rows three feet apart 

 and two feet in the rows, two inches deep. Cut 

 the tubers to one eye, like potatoes, requiring about 

 three bushels of tubers to the acre. 



MPROVED WniTE. A vast improvement upon 

 the old white variety, a hea\-ier yielder, with large 

 chunky tubers, which are of very much better 

 quality, being excellent for pickles; fleshy and 

 crisp.

 skin, which is of reddish hue, the flesh being

 fork under in the spring.
