 before it begins to open, and cooked in much the 

 same way as asparagus.

In addition to the marvelous advantage of its 

 white color, the Columbian Mammoth White Aspar- 

 agus is even more robust and vigorous in habit and 

 throws larger shoots, and fully as many of them, as 

 the Conover's Colossal. When we add to these the 

 immense advantage of its needing no earthing up 

 in order to furnish the white shoots so much sought 

 after, we think it evident that it is superior to any 

 sort now in cultivation, and that no Asparagus 

 grower can afford to plant seed of any other kind. 



Market gardeners, growers for canners and ama- 

 teurs, should give this great acquisition a thorough 

 trial.

ASPARAGUS. 



(German Spargel.) 



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 four to 

 five 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 MAMMOTH.- A new variety, highly 

 recommended for its many good qualities. It is very 

 productive, and about ten days earlier than Cono- 

 ver's Colossal. 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.

NEW PALMETTO ASPARAGUS.— This new As- 

 paragus, said to have originated in South Carolina, 

 is now quite extensively grown by Southern garden- 

 ers for New York and Philadelphia markets, where 

 it sells at very high prices, owing to its mammoth 

 size and regularity. An average bunch of fifteen 

 shoots will measure thirteen to fourteen inches in 

 circumference. For several seasons this Asparagus 

 has reached Northern markets ten days ahead of 

 all other varieties, and sold at fabulous prices.

A saving of one to two years is effected by plant- 

 ing roots. A bed 12 by 40 feet, requiring about 100 

 roots, should give a sufficient supply for an ordi- 

 nary family. 7,260 roots will plant an acre.
