QUALITY SEEDS FOR THE CRITICAL GROWER 



V''

^^^^ 















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.

 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 qiiantity 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 

 apart.

REAMS 



POLE OR RUNNING 



These are of strong, running 

 growth, and need stout poles on 

 which to climb. They require a 

 longer season in which to mature 

 than do the bush varieties, but 

 by reason of their stronger growth 

 are more productive, and growing 



on poles are more easily gathered. WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS
