Garden Roots 



New Rust-Resisting Asparagus WASHINGTON 



ECAUSE the variety Washington is unquestionably by 

 far the best of all varieties of Asparagus, we have dis- 

 continued growing the other varieties which we have 

 offered in former years. Outstanding characteristics are ex- 

 ceptional rust-resistance due to unusually vigorous constitu- 

 tion (secured by critical selection extending over ten years) ; 

 extraordinary yielding qualities; large size of individual 

 stalks, and their rapid development to cutting size, which 

 rapid growth stands for tenderness. The shoots are straight, 

 of dark green color, with a heavy purple overtone. They 

 are always tight and do not open until well above the 

 ground. 1 year, dozen, 50c; 100, ^1.50; 1000, ^12.00. 2
