 at these prices, except by the peck and bushel, or special prices on 5, 10, and 100 

 lb. lots. 



ASPARAGUS. 



Ger. Spuryel. Fr. Aspenje. One 

 Sow in March or April, in rich soil. Soak the 

 seed in warm water for 24 hours. Drill it thinly in 

 rows 1 foot apart. When 1 year old, transplant 

 into permanent beds, which should be well and 

 deeply manured. Set out the plants eighteen inches 

 apart each way and six inches deep in sandy soil, 

 and four inches deep in heavy soil, but only put on 

 2 or 3 inches at the time of planting and later 

 gradually fill up bed. On approach of winter clear j 

 off the bed and cover with a dressing of manure or 

 compost; fork up the beds early in the spring, and 

 apply a dressing of salt annually to the bed, after 

 the season of cutting — which is not only beneficial 

 to the plants, but will keep the bed clear of weeds. 

 A new bed should not be cut over before the third 

 year.

Price per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 30 cts., qt. 50 cts., pk. $2.00. 



This remarkable 

 variety has proved 

 all the introducer 

 claims for it. Bur- 

 pee's Stringless 

 green-pod was the 

 first stringless bush 

 bean offered, it 

 surpasses all oth- 

 ers in crisp, ten- 

 der flavor. The il- 

 lustration herewith 

 shows the width 

 and thickness of 

 the beautiful, 

 stvaigl:t,green poda 

 taken from nature. 

 When we add that 

 the pods are ready 

 to market EARLI- 

 ER than the best 

 stock of the Early 

 Yellow Six Weeks, 

 which, as all know 

 is valuable only 

 for its extra ear- 

 iness, being of 

 inferior quality, 

 we are sure that 

 the S t r i n g 1 ess 

 Green Pod will 

 supply a long-felt 

 want. It must 

 prove of immense 

 value not only to 

 the market garden- 

 er who wants to 

 make more money, 

 but also to the 

 amateur who seeks 

 a rare quality ear- 

 ly for the home 

 table.
