AR AG U 



This is one of th eearliest spring vegetables, and should be in universal 

 use. Many persons think it is difficult to grow, but we consider this a mis- 

 take, 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 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 or 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. 



WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS. — This variety is the result of careful breed- 

 ing by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, with the object of eliminating 

 rust. A dark green color. 



PALMETTO. — A very early maturing variety, producing an abundance of 

 very large, deep green shoots. 



MAMMOTH WHITE. — Produces large, white shoots six inches above the 

 surface; fine quality. 



BARR'S MAMMOTH. — The stalks are very large, and retain their thickness 

 completely up to the top of the shoots; light in color. 



CONOVER'S COLOSSAL. — A mammoth green sort of the largest size and of 

 good quality. One of the best known and most generally cultivated varieties. 



GIANT ARGENTEUIL. — A French variety. Stalks large and thick. , 



ASPARAGUS ROOTS. — A saving of one to two years is effected by planting 

 roots. A bed 12x40 feet, requiring about 100 roots, should give a sufficient 

 supply for an ordinary family. 8,000 roots will plant an acre. Select good 

 loamy soil, plow deep, put in good quantity of manure and 100 pounds kainit 

 to 1,000 square feet of bed. Incorporate thoroughly, make a trench eight inches 

 deep, set plants 15 inches apart. In field culture rows are placed four feet 

 apart.

BEAN S-POLE OR RUNNING 



KENTUCKY WONDER POLE BEANS 



These are of strong, running 

 growth, and need stout poles on 

 which to climb. They require a longer 

 season 1 in which to mature than do 

 the bush varieties, but by reason of 

 their stronger growth are more pro- 

 ductive, and growing on poles are 

 more easily gathered. 



LAZY WirE. — Large, pale green 

 pods, very thick meated, stringless, 

 rich, tender and buttery, ripens early; 

 clings well to pole; enormously pro- 

 ductive; splendid either as a snap or 

 shell bean. 



KENTUCKY WONDER, OR OLD 

 HOMESTEAD. — A very prolific sort, 

 bearing its pods in large clusters; 

 pods green, often reaching 9 to 10 

 inches in length, nearly round when 

 young, and very crisp. 



SPECKLED HORTICULTURAL, 

 OR WREN'S EGG. — An old favorite 

 for both snap-shorts and dry beans.
