Full description of the varieties offered below will be found under their respective heads in the vegetable sec- 

 tion of this catalogue; pages 1 to 40. All plants are sent by express collect unless you request parcel post ship- 

 ment in which case remittance is required to cover postage and special packing as fully explained on page 113. 



Asparagus Roots. We can furnish the varieties listed below in 

 selected one-year-old roots. We do not handle two-year or older 

 stock because the one-year-old roots are used by all experienced 

 growers and are the best size for transplanting. Ask for free leaflet. 



— Dreer's Eclipse. The result of a most careful selection 

 and "breeding up," to large size, delicate light green color, 

 and tender quality. 40c per doz; SI. 25 per 100; S8.00 per 1000. 



— Palmetto. An early green variety of good quality. 40c 

 per doz; SI. 25 per 100; S8.00 per 1000. 



—Mary Washington. Large straight dark green shoots 

 with heavy overtime. The tips are tight and firm and do not 

 open out or begin to branch until well out of the ground, 

 making the finest kind of green Asparagus both for home use 

 and market. It is nearer to being rust-proof than any other 

 variety, and the large, luscious stalks will be greatly appreciated.
