ASPARAGUS, 6erman - soars*.. Etc. 



Ti-fTS is one of the earliest spring vegetables, and should be in universal use. Many persons think it is difficult to grow, i/cr u we 

 consider this a mistake, 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 in 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 to 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. Thin to nine inches in the row. 



MAMMOTH WHITE ASPARAGVS. 



I 



MAMMOTH WHITE. 



N ADDITION to the 

 marvelous advan- 

 tage of its white 

 color, the Columbian 

 Mammoth White As- 

 paragus is even more 

 robust and vigorous in 

 habit and throws larg- 

 er shoots, and fully as 

 many of them, as the 

 Conover's Colossal. 

 When we add to these 

 the immense advan- 

 tage of its needing no 

 earthing up in order to 

 furnish the w h it e 

 shoots so much sought 

 after, we think it evi- 

 dent that it is superior 

 to any sort now in cul- 

 tivation, and that no 

 Asparagus grower can 

 afford to plant seed of 

 any other kind. Mar- 

 ket gardeners, growers 

 for canners and ama- 

 teurs should give this 

 great acquisition a 

 thorough trial. Pkt.,

BARR'S MAMMOTH. 



This splendid variety, 

 highly recommended 

 for its many good qual- 

 ities, is very produc- 

 tive and about 10 days 

 The stalks are very large and re- 



earher than Conover's Colossal 



tain their thickness completely up to the top of the shoots; very 

 tender and succulent; of delicious flavor; grow very quickly; light 

 in color. Pkt., 5c, Oz., 10c. 1/4 Lb., 15c. Lb., 50c. 5 Lbs., $2. 



ARTICHOKES. 



LARGE GREEN GLOBE.— This is a very nice vegetable to eat. 

 Some prefer it cooked like Asparagus; that is, take the flower 

 head before it begins to open and cook much the same way as 

 Asparagus. Pkt., 10c. Oz., 30c. 



JERUSALEM.— The tubers roasted, or boiled, served with 

 butter, salt and pepper, makes a dish some think superior to 

 Potatoes. They are most excellent feed for cows and will cause 

 an increase in quantity and quality of milk. Pk., $1. Bus., $2.50. 



PALMETTO ASPARAGUS. 



THIS Asparagus, said to have 

 originated in South Carolina, is 

 now quite extensively grown by 

 Southern gardeners for New York 

 and Philadelphia markets, where it 

 sells at very high prices, owing to 

 its mammoth size and regularity. 

 An average bunch of 15 shoots will 

 measure 13 to 14 inches in circum- 

 ference. For several seasons this 

 Asparagus has reached Northern 

 markets 10 days ahead of all other 

 varieties, and sold at fabulous 

 prices. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. 1 /4

ASPARAGUS ROOTS.

 fected by planting roots. A bed

 will plant an acre. Select good loamy soil, plough deep, put in 

 good quantity of manure, and 100 lbs. kainit to 1,000 square feet 

 of bed. Incorporate thoroughly, make a trench 8 inches deep, sel 

 plants 9 inches apart. In field culture rows are placed 4 feet a part.
