HENDERSON'S PALMETTO ASPARAGUS 



(INTRODUCED BY PETER HENDERSON ^ CO. IN 1886) 



Larger, Earlier, More Prolific and Disease-Resisting Than Any Other Asparagus 



CULTURE — For the home garden it is advisable to plant the roots about one foot 

 apart in rows three feet apart. Furrows about eighteen inches deep and one foot wide 

 should be dug, a /^-shaped hummock shoidd be made in the center of the furrow and 

 the roots spread out evenly on the hummocks. The soil should then be filled in, and 

 the crowns covered about three inches. We advise only spring planting for any point 

 north of Washington, D. C. 



HENDERSON'S 



Palmetto Asparagus Seed 



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



have grown and thoroughly tested every known variety of Asparagus, 

 but— in the American 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 13}^ 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 susceptil)le 

 to disease, having yielded abundant crops where all other varieties 

 have entirely failed. (See engraving.)

Dalkeith Brussels Sprouts 



245 A very excellent selection of this estimable vegetable, far too 

 little known to American gardners. Sown in Juno in the latitude of 

 New York, it produces an abundant crop of Sprouts — solid, succulent 

 and delicious — in the fall and early winter. It is hardier than Cabbage, 

 gust as easily grown, and availal^le long after all other green vegetables 

 are gone. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt, 60c. OZ., $2.00 M lb. 



Cultural directions are given in Cabbage Leaflet, sent free if asked 

 for when ordering.
