Henderson's Palmetto Asparagus 



Larger, Earlier, More Uniform in Size, More Prolific and Disease- 

 Resisting than any Other Asparagus Grown 



Asparagus grows easily in almost any good soil, but best results are obtained in well-enriched 

 deeply dug, sandy loam. A well cared for bed improves with age, and lasts lor many years 

 It may be grown from seed, but much time is saved by planting roots. 



The Asparagus plant is slow to die down in the fall, so that the roots cannot safely be dug 

 . until about November 1st. By this time the soil is so cool that the plants do not root readily, 



consequently many are winter killed. For this reason, we advise only spring planting for any 

 '' point north of Washington, D. C. 



Henderson's Palmetto Asparagus is superior to all others. We have grown 

 and thoroughly tested every known variety of Asparagus, but — in the Ameri- 

 can climate at least — Henderson's Palmetto is the king of all Asparagus. 

 It is superior in every way, larger, earlier, quicker in growth, more continuous 

 in bearing and more uniform in size. The stalks average about an inch in 

 diameter, the usual bunch of 15 shoots is 133-^ inches in circumference, and 

 weighs about 2 pounds. It is delicious in flavor, extremely tender, and 

 equally well adapted to all sections of the country. It is also 

 less susceptible to disease, having yielded abundant crops where 

 all other varities have entirely failed. (See engraving.)
