ASPARAGUS 



This is one of the earliest 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. — Rust Resistant. This variety is the result of 

 careful breeding 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. 



BARK'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. 



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

Select light, warm soil and plant when danger from frost is past in the spring, 

 in drills 2 to 2% feet apart, dropping the beans about 6 to 8 inches apart in the 

 drills, and cover 2 inches deep. A succession of sowings can be made from the 

 first week in May until August. 



IMPROVED RUSTPROOF GOLDEN WAX 



This is the handsomest and hardiest of all the Wax Beans. The Pods are

 ity, absolutely rustproof, and sure to become a favorite Wax Bean; in fact it 

 has already gained great popularity with growers.
