Pedigreed Asparagus 



To begin with, grow your own! Asparagus bought on the 

 market is either overgrown (to make Tbig bunches) or stale. 

 Overgrown Asparagus is usually tough, because full of fibre. 

 Stale Asparagus is insipid — the flavor has evaporated. And 

 while you are deciding to really start an Asparagus bed this 

 spring, make up your mind to grow the very finest and very 

 choicest which the hybridizer's skill has evolved — 



RUST-RESTSTING WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS 



After many years of experimenting, research and study, 

 Professor Norton, the renowned Asparagus specialist, has 

 given us this greatly improved variety. Summarizing, the 

 outstanding characteristics of the new variety are: Exceptional 

 rust-resistance due to unusually vigorous constitution (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; 1,000, $12.00. 2 years, dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.50; 

 1,000, $20.00. Extra large, 3 years, dozen, $1.50; 100, $5.00.
