ASPARAGUS 



CULTURE — Asparagus may be grown in almost any 

 soil or situation, but special success is attained in thor- 

 oughly enriched, deeply dug sandy loam. Beds cared for 

 improve with age, lasting for many years. Asparagus may 

 be grown from seed, but as it should not be cut before it is three or four years old, time is saved by buying and plant- 

 ing roots. 



207 GIANT WASHINGTON, (Seed) 



Developed under the auspices of the United States Dept. of Agriculture, this has become 

 the most popular variety in cultivation, primarily because of its immunity to the dreaded 

 rust disease. The shoots are of giant size, very vigorous, straight and of superb quality. 

 Color dark green tinged with purple. 



Price: pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; % lb. 60c; lb. $1.50; transportation paid. 



ASPARAGUS ROOTS 



One to two years' time is saved by planting roots, which we can supply from November 1st to May 

 15th. One hundred roots will plant a plot 6 ft. x 50 ft. which is enough for an ordinary family. 



GIANT WASHINGTON 



Per 100 Per 500 Per 1,000 



Two-year-old roots $3(.00 $14.00 $25.00 



Three-year-old roots 4.50 21.00 40.00 



(Buyer pays transportation charges according to zone rates.) 100 two-year-old roots will 

 weigh about 8 lbs. 100 three-year-old roots will weigh about 20 lbs. 



PALMETTO 



Large, early, a strong, quick grower, prolific and continuous yielder; the stalks, large and 

 uniform under ordinary culture, average nearly an inch in diameter, retaining their thick- 

 ness up to their plump tips. The usual bunches of 15 shoots measure 13 Yz inches in cir- 

 cumference and weight about 2 pounds. For quality Henderson's Palmetto is peerless, 

 meltingly tender and of delicious flavor. The Palmetto is equally adapted to all sec- 

 tions North and South 



Per 100 Per 500 Per 1,000 



Two-year-old roots. $2.25 $10.00 $18.00
