GARDEN ROOTS. 



Every home garden should contain a supply of these valuable roots and plants, all of which may 

 be grown on good soil with comparative ease. The advantage of having them on hand in one's own 

 garden, just when wanted, much more then compensates for the slight trouble in their culture. 



ASPARAGUS. 



One year, by mail, 25c. per 100 extra. 



at dozen rates. 



JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES. 



Mailed 



In garden culture set the plants from one to 

 two feet apart in rows three feet apart ; field cul- 

 ture in rows four to six feet apart and the plants 

 two feet apart, putting them about five inches 

 below the surface. Two year old are so much 

 better than one year old ones that I offer that 

 grade only. 



COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE. Very 

 distinct and a superb sort of great size and very 

 large yield. The peculiarity is in the clear white- 

 ness of its stalks which it retains until well above 

 the ground. In quality it is of the best, rich and 

 tender. It is profitable for market by reason of 

 its large size and attractive appearance. 2yrs., 

 doz., 50c. ; 100, $1.00 ; 1000, $6.00. 



CONOYER'S COLOSSAL. The old stan- 

 dard sort, always very good, still largely planted, 

 and a favorite with many. I^arge, productive, of 

 rapid growth and fine quality. 2 yrs., doz., 25c. ; 

 100, 60c., 1000, $3.50. 



PALMETTO. {True). Very popular by rea- 

 son of its earliness, large size, yield and freedom 

 from rust, in all of which it surpasses Conover's 

 Colossal and is equally fine in flavor. A vast 

 amount of asparagus is sold under this name 

 which is not true, but I know my stock of Pal- 

 metto to be strictly pure. 2 yrs., doz., 25c. ; 100, 

 60c. ; 1000, $4.00. 



RHUBARB. Pie Plant. 



Plant in rows four feet apart, with the roots three 

 feet distant and the crowns about an inch below 

 the surface. To grow large, heavy stalks it is 

 indispensable that the soil be deep and rich. 

 Topdress annually in the fall with stable manure 

 and fork under in the spring. 



Myatt'S Linnaeus. Thebctst variety for gen- 

 eral use and very popular. Stalks very large, 

 tender and delicately flavored; requires less 

 sugar than other sorts. Karly an;d a heavy yielder. 



Mature roots, not seedlings, 8 for 25c. : doz., 

 75c. ; 100. $4.00. {If by mail a, id ^c. each.) 



These yield immense crops of large chunky 

 tubers which possesses great fateuing properties 

 and hence are unsurpassed for feeding to hogs, 

 sheep, etc. They are an improvement upon the 

 old white variety with larger tubers and of much 

 heavier yield. Excellent also for salad and pick- 

 les ; fleshy and crisp. They thrive finely in any 

 ordinary soil, are not injured by freezing in the 

 ground and may be left undug in the field for the 

 stock to root out for themselves. Cut tubers to 

 one eye, like potatoes, requiring about three bush- 

 els of tubers to the acre. Plant, in Spring in rows 

 three feet apart and two feet apart in the rows, 

 two inches deep. I can supply both the Improved 

 White and Jerusalem Red, the difference being 

 only in color. Price of either variety, lb., 35c, ; 

 3 lbs., for $1.00, postpaid. By freight or express, 

 peck. 75c. ; bushel, $2.00; barrel, $5.00. 



ITARRAGON. 



Valuable for its aromatic leaves which are so 

 frequently wanted in culinary operations for sea- 

 soning, etc., and so seldom found. Haye a suppl}'- 

 of your own. Also largely used in making the 

 celebrated Tarragon Vinegar and for salads. The 

 foliage may be cut in the fall and kept in a dry 

 state like other herbs. The plants I offer are the 

 /r?/^ Tarragon. Each 15c. ; 2 for 25c. ; doz., $.100. 

 {By mail ij desired) . 



HORSE RADISH. 



Of the easiest culture. Plant the sets in Spring, 

 in moist rich soil, small end down with the top 

 an inch below the surface. These will form 

 roots of large size in one season's growth, and be 

 ready to dig in fall. Sets. Doz., 25c. ; {by mail 

 if desired) ; 100, 75c. ; 1000, $5.00. If bv mail 

 add 15c. per 100 extra.
