 Rust-Resistant Asparagus 



The Newest Creation in Asparagus for the Home Garden or Market 



This new 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, poiuted 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 

 buuched for market, this asparagus cannot 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. We have only 

 a limited stock of this wonderful, new asparagus, bo advise ordering early.
