New Rust-Resisting Asparagus WASHINGTON 



Because the variety Washington is unquestionably by far the best 

 of all varieties of Asparagus, we have discontinued growing the 

 other varieties which we have offered in former years. Outstanding 

 characteristics are exceptional rust-resistance due to unusually vigor- 

 ous 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 tender- 

 ness. The shoots are straight, of dark green color, with a heavy purple over- 

 tone. They are always tight and do not open until well above the ground.
