ASPARAGUS 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, conse- 

 quentlv many are winter killed. For this reason 

 we advise spring planting for any point north of 

 Washington. D. C. (Ready in November for the 

 South: in March and April for the North.) Our 

 pamphlet "How to Grow Asparagus" sent post 

 free "to any address. , , . ^ ,.

SPINACH FOR WINTER 



By repeated sowings this tasty and succulent 

 vegetable may be enjo.ved by everyone almost 

 throughout the year. Special attention should be 

 paid to the August and September sowings, as 

 they will supply the table during the coining 

 winter and early next spring. Sow Victoria or 

 Henderson's "Thick-leaved, both excellent for 

 the purpose. 



{Varieties prefixed * m^y be sown in the fall in 

 latitude of New York for spring crop.)
