 good size. (See illustration alongside.)

CARRIE. — It is a marvel of productive- 

 ness, a splendid strong grower and one

 season than do most others. When ripe, it is 

 maroon in color and of good quality, though 

 rather small. 1 year, each, 30c.; dozen, $3.00. 



2 years, each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00; heavy fruiting

Roots and Plants for the 

 Vegetable Garden 



ASPARAGUS 



Asparagus is so easily grown and so very 

 good, when cut from one's own garden and 

 cooked within a few hours thereafter, that 

 everybody, having even just a few square feet 

 of garden space, should plant at least some 

 roots. 



In the family garden the roots should be set 

 from one to two feet apart in rows three feet 

 apart. They should be placed in furrows six or 

 eight inches deep, but covered with only about 

 three inches of soil at time of planting, the re-

mainder of the trench being filled in 

 grees as the plants increase in height. 



In field culture where they are to be worked 

 with horse and cultivator, the roots should be 

 set from one to two feet apart in the rows 

 and the rows should be from six to seven feet 

 apart. 



WASHINGTON 



This variety is the result of many years' work by 

 Prof. J. B. Norton, an asparagus authority of interna- 

 tional renown, whose chief aim has, we understand, been 

 to create a strain of asparagus that is rust resistant. 



Prof. Norton, in referring to this variety, recently 

 wrote: "Our seed fields are now composed of those in- 

 dividuals that produce large, straight shoots, dark green 

 in color, with a heavy purple over-tone. The tips are 

 tight and firm and do not open out or begin to branch 

 until well out of ground. 1 year, dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.00; 

 1,000, $18.00. 2 years, dozen, $1.00; 100, $3.00; 1,000, $25. 



PURPLE GIANT (See illustration alongside).— A 

 remarkable strong growing and very valuable variety. 

 Claimed to be almost, if not entirely, immune to the at- 

 tacks of rust. 1 year, dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.75; 1,000, $15.00. 



2 years, dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.50; 1,000, $20.00. Extra large, 



3 years, dozen, $1.25; 100, $5.00. 



ARGENTEUIL.— A French sort that has become 

 very popular. Stalks of large size, and attains cutting 

 size at an early age. 1 year, dozen, 40c.; 100, $1.25; 

 1,000, $10.00. 2 years, dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.75; 1,000, $15.00. 

 Extra large, 3 years, dozen $1.00; 100, $3.50. 



PALMETTO (True).— The large size of stalk, early 

 maturity, heavy yield and freedom from rust of this 

 variety make it most popular. 1 year, dozen, 40c.; 100, 

 $1.25; 1,000, $10.00, 2 years, dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.75; 

 1,000, $15.00. _ ^ ,
