 which are cooked like Asparagus. 



Pkt., 10 cts. Oz., 30 cts. 



ASPARAGUS BUNCHER, $2.00. 



ASPARAGUS. 



(German SpargeU 



This is one of the earliest Spring vegetables, and should 

 be in universal use. Many persons think it is difficult to 

 grow, but we consider this a mistake, and believe it can 

 be produced as cheaply and easily as any on the list. 



Sow the seed in the seed bed late in the fall or in the 

 early Spring, as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills 

 one foot apart, covering the seed about one inch deep. 

 When the plants are 4 to 5 inches high, great care should 

 be taken to keep the bed free of weeds. One ounce of seed 

 will sow forty feet of row. Thin to nine inches in the row.

BARR'S MAM MOTH. A new variety, highly 

 recommended for its many good qualities. It is very pro- 

 ductive and about ten days earlier than Conover's Colos- 

 sal. The stalks are very large and retain their thickness 

 completely up to the top of the shoots, very tender and 

 succulent, of delicious flavor, grow very quickly and are 

 light in color. 



Pkt. 5 cts. Oz. 10 cts. 14 lb. 20 cts. Eb. 60 cts. 



NEW PALMETTO ASPARAGUS.— This new 

 Asparagus, said to have originated in South Carolina, is 

 now quite extensively grown by Southern gardeners for 

 New York and Philadelphia markets, where it sells at 

 very high prices, owing to its mammoth size and regular- 

 ity. An average bunch of fifteen shoots will measure 

 thirteen to fourteen inches in circumference. For several 

 seasons this Asparag us has reached Northern markets ten 

 days ahead of all other varieties, and sold at fabulous 

 prices, even after other varieties had come in. Although 

 of Southern origin, it is equally well adapted to North and 

 South. 



Pkt. 5 cts. Oz. 10 cts. % lb. 20 cts. Eb. 50 cts.

 known variety.

 ASPARAGUS ROOTS.-A saving of one to two 

 years is effected by planting roots. A bed 12 by 40 feet, re- 

 quiring about 100 roots, should give a sufficent supply for 

 an ordinary family. 7260 roots will plant an acre.

 being the earliest Bean in existence, and theref ore very 

 profitable to the Market Gardener, and desirable to the

EXTRA EAREY REFEGEE. lt is similar 

 in every respect to the ordinary Refugee, but is nearly 

 two weeks earlier. It is enormously prolific, and from its 

 earliness is almost certain to produce a crop, no matter 

 how unfavorable the season. The Extra Early Refugee 

 is rapidly becoming the favorite sort with Southern truck- 

 ers and planters, as it matures equally early with the
