Year After Year W, '' 



Asparagus is one of the first vegetables to make ap- 

 l»earance in the Spring and its succulent, green stalks 

 are a welcome change to the table. Because of its earli- 

 ness, asparagus can be depended upon to realize a pro- 

 fit and there is an ever increasing demand for canning 

 and freezing. 



Any liome gardener can enjoy delicious, healthful as- 

 paragus fresh from his garden six to ten weeks each 

 spring. Cooked, frozen or canned immediately after it 

 is cut is the way to really enjoy asparagus. You won't 

 believe the difference until you try it from your own 

 lilantings.
