MAMMOTH WHITE ASPARAGUS.— ^faA^eto^^s^idVa^n! 



tage of its white color. 



THIS is one of the earliest spring vegetables, and should be in universal use. Manj- 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. 



PALMETTO ASPARAGlS.-^^i.ird'^&TiiVa^^^^^^^^^ 



is now quite extensivelj- grown by 

 Southern gardeners for New York and 

 Philadelphia markets, where it sells at 

 very high prices, owing to its mam- 

 moth size and regularity. An average 

 bunch of fifteen shoots will measure 

 thirteen to fourteen inches in circum- 

 ference. For several seasons this As- 

 paragus has reached Northern markets 

 ten days ahead of all other varieties, 

 and sold at fabulous prices.

the Columbian Mammoth White Asparagus 

 is even more robust and 

 vigorous in habit and 

 throws larger shoots, and 

 fully as many of them, 

 as the Conover's Colos- 

 sal. When we add to 

 these the immense ad- 

 vantage of its needing no 

 earthing up m order to 

 furnish the white shoots 

 so much sought after, we 

 think it evidentthat 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 amateurs 

 should give this great 

 acquisition a thorough 

 trial.

 that is, take the flower head before it begins to open and cook much the same way 

 as asparagus. Pbt. 10c. Oz. 30c.

The tubers roasted, or boiled, served with butter, salt and pepper, makes a 

 dish some think superior to potatoes. They are most excellent feed for cows and 

 will cause an increase in quantity and quality of milk.
