Columbian JVIammoth White Asparagus. 



An entirely new and maguificient variety of Asparagus, which is sure to be in great demand 

 because it furnishes ivliitG shouts which stay white as long as fit for use, without earthing up or any 

 other artificial blanching; and because it can be absolutely depended on to give 80 to 90 per 

 cent of white plants from seeds. This grand novelty has been brought to its present state of per ■ 

 fection by one of tlie largest and most experienced growers of Asparagus in this country, by many 

 years of careful selection from a single plant found in one of his fields of Conover's Colossal. To-day 

 he has a field of the Columbian Mammoth White from which, he sells the product to a canning fac- 

 tory, that allows him over 'ZO per cent more for it than for any other kind grown for them. There is 

 no question but this is the greatest advance in Asparagus improvement since the introduction of 



he Conover's Colossal. Per pkt., 10 cts, oz.. 25 cts.. U lb., $1.00.
